About
Category leader in go-to-market security, positioned as a broader funnel-protection alternative to traditional ad verification vendors like IAS and DoubleVerify
CHEQ is a cybersecurity company that specializes in protecting marketers from fraud, data manipulation, and bot-driven attacks. Its core offering is a fully integrated, multi-layered Traffic, Trust, and Identity Intelligence Engine that helps businesses detect and block fake users, prevent click fraud in digital advertising, and keep marketing analytics accurate by filtering out non-human traffic. Its capabilities span protecting paid marketing campaigns from fraud, analyzing human and non-human traffic, stopping fake form submissions to improve lead quality, and streamlining data collection and tag management. CHEQ's solutions cater primarily to enterprises but also include self-serve options for smaller businesses, helping them reduce wasted ad spend and improve decision-making. Through its 2020 acquisition of ClickCease, CHEQ expanded its reach in click fraud protection, growing from 20,000 to 57,000 protected websites within two years, and the company is now trusted by 15,000 brands, processes 6 trillion signals daily, and maintains a false positive rate of less than 0.009%.
