“Thanks to our collaboration with The Media Trust’s risk management platform, we have complete insight into the third-party code that runs through our platforms,” says Vaughan Belhamine, Vice President Product, Scout24 Media. “The platform allows us to be at the forefront of data protection regulation and to take a proactive role to ensure that we only work with providers who comply with the GDPR rules.”

“Online marketplace operators with ambitious growth targets like Scout24 are focused on customer acquisition and securing their digital assets,” says The Media Trust CEO and founder Chris Olson. “A single platform that lets them prevent web-based malware, demonstrate compliance with a growing number of consumer data privacy laws, and evaluate the quality of ads will help them effectively manage their digital risks.”
