A comprehensive AI-powered Trust & Safety platform for online platforms to detect and act on harmful content, meet global regulatory standards (DSA, Online Safety Act), and optimize moderation workflows with actionable analytics and third-party integrations.
Checkstep is a leading AI-powered Trust and Safety platform used by companies like Trustpilot, Instant Gaming, and Streamable to detect, manage, and enforce content policies across a wide range of formats including text, images, video, audio, and livestreams. Built for platforms with high volumes of user-generated content, Checkstep helps protect users from harm while enabling teams to stay ahead of regulations such as the Digital Services Act and the UK Online Safety Act.
The platform includes advanced features such as AI model management, customizable keyword lists, automated and human-in-the-loop moderation workflows, and powerful policy configuration tools. Moderators benefit from streamlined queues, translation and transcription tools, and visual protections like content blurring. Teams can investigate high-risk users, monitor moderator performance, and track enforcement actions across multiple languages and geographies through comprehensive dashboards.
Checkstep also offers compliance features including automated notice and action workflows, appeal processes, transparency reporting, and a white-label portal for public disclosures. It integrates easily via API, supports edge deployments, and allows for full customization of roles, permissions, and workflows. With Checkstep, digital platforms gain a single, scalable solution to ensure user safety, regulatory alignment, and efficient content operations.

Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts against the Core Trust & Safety Package volumes of text, images, and audio?
The package covers set processing volumes: 800 million text characters, 700,000 images, and 3,000 hours of audio. Each character, image, and audio hour you submit for moderation draws down these pools. When your volumes are higher, you add packages or scanning credits to cover the extra content.
How do the Prepaid Monthly 2K Credits Pack and the Core Trust & Safety Package combine on my bill?
The Core Package covers fixed text, image, and audio volumes. The 2,000 monthly credits fund AI scanning and third-party services. You allocate credits across any supported AI flagging system as needed. Both bill independently. Credit-driven scanning charges dominate when you rely heavily on multiple AI models per item.
What does the Local Model Deployment option add compared to standard platform access?
Local Model Deployment runs on dedicated AWS-based servers with sub-200ms response times. It targets real-time or mission-critical moderation. You get global redundancy, expert latency and throughput tuning, and real-time alerting for incidents. It is a separate add-on you purchase on top of the platform base.
