Stop location fraud and geo-piracy

Using a VPN to access content that consumers would otherwise not be entitled to watch is a form of fraud, and VPN companies actively encourage consumers to illicitly access content.

GeoComply identifies suspicious and anomalous user behavior to prevent fraudulent content viewing and piracy.

Consumers and geo-pirates use increasingly sophisticated tools to spoof their location and illegally access premium content, sports events and movie premiers. 

GeoComply leverages its compliance-grade location intelligence and fraud detection solutions to ensure users cannot spoof their location in order to illegally access content.

Fraudsters impersonate legitimate users with stolen usernames and passwords, creating distrust for your brand as a secure streaming video platform. 

GeoComply reduces the risk of user spoofing by accurately identifying a user’s true location – so you can serve genuine viewers and block the fraudulent ones.

Without proper safeguards, geo-pirates can access content for free or at a lower price than they should. Verifying a customer’s location requires more than just an IP address to ensure consumers are where they claim to be. 

GeoComply offers the most accurate location detection solution on the market to protect content from being viewed from outside of its approved territory, and to ensure compliance with media rights agreements.
