LONDON — Outbrain, the world’s leading discovery and native advertising platform, announced it received its certification from The Joint Industry Committee for Web Standards (JICWEBS) for brand safety.

“Our JICWEBS certification shows that we are doing just that”

Outbrain was independently verified by ABC who performed the audit to ensure Outbrain’s processes met JICWEBS Good Practice Principles to mitigate the risk of ad misplacement. Outbrain proudly joins the list with the likes of The Guardian, The Telegraph and YouTube.

The basis of certification is compliance with DTSG Good Practice Principles, which were created by a cross-industry body.
