Additionally, the accreditation marks compliance with the sophisticated invalid traffic provisions (which are inclusive of both SIVT and GIVT filtration) of MRC’s Invalid Traffic Detection and Filtration guidelines (desktop, mobile web & in-app). Impact, a natively-integrated suite of products for fraud protection, marketing intelligence, and performance partnership management, is proud to have confirmation that Forensiq meets the MRC’s rigorous requirements for valid, reliable and effective measurement.
