TAG working groups develop and maintain the certification standards for each of TAG’s certification programs, as well as the fraud, threat-sharing, and brand safety tools companies need to fight crime and increase transparency effectively.

Bringing together thought leaders from across the industry, these working groups ensure that TAG stays on the cutting edge of digital advertising best practice – and ahead of criminal enterprises.

Within the Working Groups, members discuss and collaborate on emerging threats, technologies, procedures, and more, with the goal of evolving and enhancing TAG's certification requirements. Working Groups allow members to have a voice-at-the-table and help drive forward the issues they are passionate about and help shape future standards for the industry.
