Compliance: eliminate creative risk across 20+ global markets

Over the past year, advertising regulations have grown more complex, multi-market campaigns have accelerated, and global brands have faced increasing pressure to launch campaigns quickly without risking costly rejections.

When we first introduced our Compliance tool, our goal was simple: help teams catch advertising rule violations before going live.

Today, we are excited to announce major updates to Cape.io Compliance: 

1. Expanded coverage across 20+ global markets

What started across five core territories has now expanded to full cross-market coverage. Cape.io now validates creative assets against local regulations and publisher specifications across 20+ markets in Europe, APAC, LATAM, and North America. Whether you are navigating regional health and safety rules or market-specific promotional guidelines, our global rules engine helps you assess creative consistently.

2. Compliance intelligence trained on 30 years of heritage

Generic AI can guess at advertising rules, but general-purpose models lack the nuanced understanding required for complex legal frameworks.

Cape.io’s validation engine is different. It is backed by 30 years of TV broadcast compliance heritage and trained on a proprietary archive of 139 million files. In internal benchmarking, Cape.io demonstrated 3.8× greater accuracy in identifying creative compliance risks than general-purpose AI.

3. Validate hundreds of assets in a single workflow

Reviewing every asset variant line-by-line creates severe operational bottlenecks. With our latest update, teams can check hundreds of creative assets and variants simultaneously in a single workflow. You get actionable findings in minutes with clear visual flags, rule references, and explanations highlighting exactly what needs attention.

4. Support for emerging digital and AI regulations

As digital advertising guidelines evolve, so do our rule sets. Cape.io now supports checks for emerging digital requirements, including AI transparency, disclosure, and labeling obligations. Additionally, our engine checks detailed technical and formatting specs, such as legal super hold duration, font size, contrast, and text legibility.

5. Embedded directly into your creative ecosystem

Compliance shouldn't lock you into a single production tool. You can now use Cape.io as a standalone validation workspace or integrate our compliance engine directly into your supported ad platforms and delivery pipelines, bringing automated QA closer to where creative is actually produced.

Human-led control, backed by automated precision

Automated validation is built to support better decision-making, not replace human judgment. Cape.io provides transparent, explainable findings so your legal, compliance, and creative teams retain complete control over final approvals while eliminating routine manual work.
