Confident, compliant, lower-risk moderation at scale, powered by AI

The AI content moderation platform to keep communities safe, relevant, and compliant across posts, comments, and chat, with policy control and DSA-ready transparency.

  • Align volunteer and central enforcement without breaking trust.

  • Cut human review load while keeping false positives and appeals low.

  • Stay DSA and UK ready with clear notices, appeals, and audit trails.

THE CHALLENGE

Layered moderation, layered risk

Managing the balance between volunteer moderators and central trust & safety teams requires precision. Scale, automation complexity, and evolving regulatory duties like the DSA and UK Online Safety Act create immense pressure on existing systems.

Complexity at Scale

Handling millions of posts and comments across thousands of sub-groups without losing cultural context or speed.

Automation Friction

Rigid automation leads to high false-positive rates, causing community distrust and overwhelming your appeals pipeline.

Regulatory Duty

Meeting strict, audit-ready requirements for DSA and UK OSA with transparent logs and specific reporting timelines.

Why not build in-house?

"We already built something"

Legacy tools often struggle with modern multimodal content (memes, video) and the specific audit requirements of the DSA. We complement your stack or replace aging components.

"Trust and Safety is 'core'"

It is, but infrastructure isn't. Spend your engineering talent on community features and safety policy, not on maintaining internal labeling tools and compliance databases.

"We need full control"

Checkstep is whitelabel and API-first. You maintain 100% control over the policies, the data, and the final decisions—we just provide the specialized engine.

Faster Deployment

Go live in weeks, not months, with pre-trained models and modular architecture.

Lower OpEx

Reduce infrastructure and maintenance costs by up to 80% compared to in-house teams.

Regulatory Peace of Mind

Future-proof your platform against changing laws without continuous engineering updates.

Scale moderation with confidence and stay audit-ready

Join the world's most complex platforms in professionalizing their Trust and Safety operations.
