ISL Safety Audits
Turn Product Safety into your Competitive Edge
ISL gives you independent proof of product safety
Digital products are increasingly being asked to prove they’re safe, not just secure.
Cybersecurity asks whether someone can get into your product. Product safety asks what your product does to people when they use it.
Schools, institutions, families, and regulators are paying closer attention to the risks digital products can create, from privacy and inappropriate content to compulsive use, dark patterns, financial risks, and impacts on health and well-being.
That means being able to demonstrate product safety is becoming a critical part of earning trust and winning customers.
Independent Product Safety Testing
Internet Safety Labs (ISL) is the world’s first and only independent organization dedicated to testing the safety of digital products. Since 2019, we have assessed the real-world behavior of apps and websites against an independently developed safety standard informed by privacy and safety laws and regulations around the world.
Our methodology grew from our National K-12 EdTech Safety Benchmark, one of the most comprehensive independent studies of digital product safety of its kind. Today, the same rigorous approach powers the ISL Safety Audit.
We measure your product’s actual behavior against more than 250 safety checks to identify privacy, content, compulsive use, dark patterns, and other risks.
The audit helps you identify and address risks before they become a legal, reputational, or contract-losing emergency and gives customers and partners credible evidence that your product has been independently tested, not just self-certified.
- Measures against AADC, privacy, and other laws shaping digital product behavior
- Measures against 250+ safety checks
- Delivers an independently measured assessment of safety risks in your app or website
