OSTIA

ONLINE SAFETY TECH INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION

THE INDUSTRY BODY FOR UK ORGANISATIONS OPERATING IN THE FIELD OF ONLINE SAFETY.

A Voice
of Hope

OSTIA’s members are committed to providing a voice of hope by demonstrating what CAN be done – and by offering a toolbox of solutions to address key issues within the large and complex challenge Online Safety presents.

Too often the debate about Online Safety is focused around what cannot be done, what is technically impossible, and the conflict with other rights such as privacy and freedom of speech.

We seek to provide an alternative voice in the debate.

Collective
Influence

OSTIA’s members work together to ensure that policy makers and big companies have visibility of new innovations, new technology and best practice for online safety.

New thinking often comes from fast growing companies that can struggle to be heard on a global stage amongst governments and big tech companies.

We seek to ensure that collectively our member’s voices are heard, advancing the cause of Online Safety.

Efficient
Networks

OSTIA’s members are committed to tacking the challenges and opportunities in front of them by working together.

OSTIA is passionate about bringing together all those with a vested interest to create more efficient networks nationally and internationally. This will include sharing knowledge and experience, showcasing member’s work

We seek to achieve more towards our goal of a safer internet by harnessing the power of networks.

“We welcome the growth of a safety tech sector that is essential to protecting children from abuse, and that can support companies deliver their duty of care to users of their platforms.
“The Government’s Online Harms Bill will be the first of its kind in the world and a thriving safety tech sector is vital to ensure the UK leads the way in child protection online.”

Andy Burrows, Head of Child Safety Online Policy at the NSPCC
