100% Automated Software
Unlike competitive products, our Social Media Check is software driven. No human checking, no unconscious bias or risk that a person is going to miss content. Completely removes any subjectivity.
Checks are only made after full consent obtained
We only conduct a Social Media Check once the person to be checked (subject) has provided consent. Consent is required for each social platform used by the subject and once provided, the check will analyse both public and private posts within the subject’s social media account(s)
Every post analysed in minutes
Our fully automated solution generates reports in minutes regardless of the number of social media accounts and posts that the subject (person being checked) has accumulated. A manual social media check will typically take between 5 and 10 hours to conduct whereas our solution will typically return the findings of a check in under 30 minutes.
