Mission

TAG IS THE LEADING GLOBAL INITIATIVE FIGHTING CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AND INCREASING TRUST IN THE DIGITAL ADVERTISING INDUSTRY. TAG ADVANCES ITS MISSION OF ELIMINATING FRAUDULENT TRAFFIC, FACILITATING THE SHARING OF THREAT INTELLIGENCE, AND PROMOTING BRAND SAFETY BY CONNECTING INDUSTRY LEADERS, ANALYZING THREATS, AND SHARING BEST PRACTICES WORLDWIDE.

990 for the year ended December 31, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • CERTIFIED AGAINST FRAUD SEAL PROGRAM: A NEW TAG STUDY RELEASED AT CANNES, FRANCE FOUND THAT THE EUROPEAN AD INDUSTRY'S ANTI-FRAUD INITIATIVES PREVENTED 3.45 BILLION IN POTENTIAL INVALID TRAFFIC (IVT) LOSSES IN 2023, REDUCING THOSE LOSSES BY 69% COMPARED TO THE AMOUNT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST WITHOUT THOSE PROGRAMS IN PLACE, ACCORDING TO A NEW STUDY. THE TAG 2025 EUROPEAN AD FRAUD SAVINGS REPORT ALSO FOUND THAT ADVERTISERS COULD UNLOCK AN ADDITIONAL 1.075 BILLION IN ANNUAL SAVINGS IF THEY EXTENDED THE INDUSTRY'S CURRENT ANTI-FRAUD STANDARDS ACROSS THE REMAINING 24% OF SPEND THAT IS CURRENTLY UNPROTECTED BY THOSE STANDARDS. WITHOUT THE INDUSTRY'S ANTI-FRAUD MEASURES, THE IVT RATE FOR ALL EUROPEAN DISPLAY AND VIDEO ADVERTISING WOULD HAVE REACHED APPROXIMATELY 10.36%, OR POTENTIAL ANNUAL LOSSES OF 5 BILLION.
  • CERTIFIED AGAINST MALWARE SEAL PROGRAM: TAG'S CERTIFIED AGAINST MALVERTISING PROGRAM SAW PARTICULARLY SIGNIFICANT GROWTH WITH A 31% INCREASE IN SEALS AWARDED, FROM 35 TO 46 SEALS. THAT GROWTH REFLECTS HEIGHTENED INDUSTRY FOCUS ON MALVERTISING AS A CORE THREAT VECTOR AND ON TAG'S ROLE IN DEFINING AND ENFORCING COMMON DEFENSES. AS THE ADVERTISING INDUSTRY'S ONLY INTELLIGENCE SHARING AND ANALYSIS ORGANIZATION (ISAO), TAG HAS LONG OCCUPIED A CENTRAL ROLE IN ADDRESSING NEW AND EMERGING THREATS. TAG'S MALVERTISING THREAT EXCHANGE (MTX) EXPANDED ITS GLOBAL THREAT INTELLIGENCE COVERAGE SIGNIFICANTLY IN 2025. ACTIVE MTX MEMBER COMPANIES NOW SHARE INTELLIGENCE FROM MORE THAN 11 COUNTRIES ACROSS 7 TIME ZONES, PROVIDING 21.5 HOURS OF HUMAN COVERAGE IN A TYPICAL DAY. THAT BREADTH OF PARTICIPATION ALLOWS TAG MEMBERS TO DETECT AND RESPOND TO MALVERTISING AND PIRACY THREATS IN NEAR REAL TIME, REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY EMERGE.
  • BRAND SAFETY CERTIFIED SEAL PROGRAM: THE PURPOSE OF THE BSC PROGRAM IS TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE RISK OF AD MISPLACEMENT ON DIGITAL MEDIA PROPERTIES. BSC CLOSED THE YEAR WITH 127 ACTIVE SEALS, AND NEARLY HALF (48%) OF THOSE COVERED GLOBAL ADVERTISING OPERATIONS, DEMONSTRATING ITS CONTINUED REACH AND IMPACT IN PROTECTING BRANDS ACROSS THE WORLDWIDE SUPPLY CHAIN. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2025, THE INDUSTRY'S ANA BENCHMARK ADDED BRAND SAFETY MEASUREMENT, FINDING THAT JUST 1.32% OF SPEND OCCURS IN HIGH AND MEDIUM-RISK ENVIRONMENTS. BEYOND RISK, THE BENCHMARK ALSO MEASURED BRAND SUITABILITY, WHICH SHOULD BE CENTRAL TO MARKETERS' EVALUATION OF QUALITY ENVIRONMENTS, AS NEGATIVE SENTIMENT CAN BE AS DAMAGING AS HIGH-RISK CONTENT. THANKS TO THESE ONGOING BRAND SAFETY EFFORTS, 99.1% OF AD SPEND WAS SPENT IN LOW-RISK ENVIRONMENTS, ENABLING MARKETERS TO SCALE THEIR CAMPAIGNS WITHOUT COMPROMISING BRAND SAFETY.
  • IN EARLY 2025, TAG ANNOUNCED A RECORD 326 CERTIFICATION SEALS HAD BEEN AWARDED TO COMPANIES SETTING INDUSTRY BEST PRACTICES AROUND FRAUD, MALVERTISING, BRAND SAFETY, AND TRANSPARENCY. ADDITIONALLY, A RECORD 34 COMPANIES REACHED TAG PLATINUM STATUS BY ACHIEVING THREE OR MORE SEALS.
