why choose us for Attestation Services

The system is privacy‑preserving by design: sensitive user data is never exposed, yet regulators and auditors gain visibility into how enforcement decisions are recorded and categorized. This creates a transparent, auditable trail based on aggregated anonymous data, strengthening accountability while protecting user rights.

Inconsistent transparency

The EU Commission’s 2022 assessment of the Code of Practice on Disinformation found that over 50% of platform reports lacked sufficient data granularity for regulators to verify compliance.

Low trust in self‑reporting

A 2021 Carnegie Endowment survey showed that only 19% of regulators and policymakers expressed high confidence in platforms’ self‑disclosed enforcement data.

Auditability gap

Ofcom’s 2022 Online Nation report highlighted that two‑thirds of platforms provided no independent audit trail of enforcement actions, leaving regulators unable to validate claims.
