VeriGuard is an API-first compliance platform designed to help online services navigate the complex and evolving landscape of age verification and content moderation regulations. Inspired by the UK’s new age check laws, India’s streaming bans, Apple’s expanded age ratings, and data breaches like the Tea app, VeriGuard provides a secure, scalable solution for platforms to ensure user age compliance and manage content according to legal and ethical standards. It solves the problem of fragmented, insecure, or non-compliant age verification and content filtering by offering a unified system that integrates seamlessly, protects user data confidentiality, and provides audit trails for regulatory adherence.
