The site auditing process is a mandatory step that is connected to the site creation in Amazon Ad Server and is owned by the Publisher Care Team, working closely with the ServicEngine Team. The process is  simple, and take 1-2h per site including the creation.

The process consists of:

1. The PubCare Team will do a brief check and either reactivate an internalized site or send it for creation to Service Engine
2. Service Engine will then: Run the site's Domain URL through an anti-bot/anti-malware software (we use VirusTotal),
3. Visit the Domain URL and checking for any signs of:
   • Fraudulent/malicious content
   • Gambling
   • Adult Content
   • Weapons
   • Drugs
4. Checking the site deeper, through the links and article pages for the same type of content
5. If everything looks normal, we confirm the audit and the site creation takes place.
6. (step still being discussed with legal) If there is malicious content, we make a note of it and inform the requester that the site creation cannot be finished due to the audit results, and we/they should reach out to the site to have them double-check.

Task-related communication is always handled via the Zendesk ticketing system.
Simple questions can be handled via e-mail or chat.
