Evaluating age verification measures for online safety

What Is the AIRP Service? AIRP stands for Adverse Intelligence Reconciliation Protocol. It’s a structured way to handle sensitive, negative, or conflicting information about people, companies, or situations—especially when that information comes from different countries, legal systems, or sources. We built AIRP because global investigations often uncover messy, contradictory, or damaging data. Some of it’s true. Some of it’s misleading. Some of it’s illegal to use. AIRP helps us sort through all of it—cleanly, legally, and professionally. cpwf@flssglobal.net

I recently spoke with TG3 and Rai News about the evolving landscape of gambling in Italy and the findings from our latest GAPS study. The data reveal an important shift: fewer adults are engaging in gambling and fewer show signs of risk, yet vulnerability among young people is increasing. This calls for targeted prevention strategies and stronger integration between gambling and substance-related policies. Interviews available in the comments.

Families and their advisors should ask a simple question of anyone offering protective intelligence: how do you verify? Most firms will answer by pointing to analysts and personnel in the field. In practice, this usually means observers who confirm what a platform already reports such as traffic, protests, or incidents. That is validation of signals, not verification of intent. Verification at the level families require is different. It means testing whether a threat exists before it shows itself, probing seams the way an adversary would, and cross-checking human sources, behavioral patterns, and digital models until there is no doubt. It is the difference between watching events and dismantling risks. At VORDR, personnel in the field are not positioned to confirm what is already visible. They are structured to uncover what is not. The invisible adversary, the pattern forming in silence, the exit that has already been planned. That is what makes intelligence prevention, not reaction. The complete white paper is available upon request.

For two decades, most security company protective intelligence programs have failed where it matters most at the point of verification. They monitor. They collect. They report. But they rarely prove. The data makes the gap clear. The 2024 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report found that 68 percent of confirmed breaches involved the human element. Intent, error, and manipulation continue to bypass every monitoring system. IBM’s 2024 global cost of a breach study showed that organizations still take more than 200 days on average to identify and contain incidents. That is not foresight. That is aftershock. Case studies show the cost of weak verification. In 2016, Florida fined a security company for falsified psychologist credentials on armed guard screenings, including the paperwork tied to the Pulse nightclub shooter. Regulators called it failure of verification. That same year, Kim Kardashian’s Paris robbery revealed how adversaries exploited social media and routine to stage a multimillion-dollar attack. Courts confirmed the plan was built over months in plain sight. Both events demonstrate that unchecked assumptions create exposure at exactly the wrong time. Many firms will say they verify. They employ investigators, conduct interviews, and liaise with law enforcement. But this work is case driven and reactive. It confirms incidents after they appear. It does not continuously test adversary pathways, expose patterns before they surface, or map weaknesses as they evolve. True verification is different. It is corroboration across multiple disciplines, continuous field testing of assumptions, and the systematic proving or disproving of signals before they become crises. This is the standard intelligence agencies apply when failure carries national consequences. It is not the standard used by most private security providers. At VORDR, verification is not a task. It is the foundation. Every claim is challenged. Every signal is cross checked. Every potential entry point is tested in the real environment where it matters. That is the difference between surface protection and dismantling threats before they reach the door.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the TOEX Intelligence Classification Engine (ICE) tool to the Capabilities Environment. ICE provides an additional layer of safety and accuracy in the intelligence review process. While intelligence reports continue to be reviewed and flagged manually, ICE acts as a secondary safeguard. If a potential case of child sexual abuse or exploitation (CSAE) is missed in the first review, ICE will prompt the user to re-evaluate the report and apply a CSAE flag where appropriate.

techUK play a pivotal role in bringing together industry and innovation to address challenges facing policing and we value the partnership we have built with them. Today is Tech UK’s Tackling VAWG Impact Day and we’re pleased to share that both of our submissions have been selected to feature. This includes a short blog: How can digital tools help identify harmful behaviour early and support prevention before they escalate into crime? and an accompanying video on how using CSAS in stalking and harassment cases is having a significant impact and improving outcomes for policing and survivors of these crimes. We are delighted to be supporting TechUK's valuable work and to be recognised for the impact our innovative software solutions are having.  We are pleased to have Samantha Burton representing Forensic Analytics on TechUK's newly formed VAWG and RASSO working group which was established following the recent partnership TechUK have formed with the National Police Chiefs Council. This working group seeks to brings together policing and industry to identify innovative solutions for challenges facing policing in these areas.

📘 Post 2 | 2024 ACFE Report to the Nations – Key Insights 🔍 43% of frauds were detected through tips — mostly from employees. That says a lot about just how powerful and necessary a trusted whistleblower mechanism can be. On average, organizations lose 5% of their annual revenue to fraud, and a typical case lasts 12 months before detection. The takeaway? A strong whistleblower mechanism isn’t optional — it’s essential. 📎 Sharing the key findings summary here 👇 #FraudPrevention #InternalAudit #SpeakUp #ACFE
