File Audit Facility™ (FAF) is an innovative solution for identifying pornographic images, web pages, and videos stored on Windows-based computers. FAF can be used to audit computers for inappropriate usage and unauthorized files storage.
The FAF is a Plug and Play device that connects to the USB port. Once the detection software is activated, files are scanned and a report of illicit images and videos is generated. FAF is a self-contained solution and no software is loaded on the target computer. A full report of images detected can be saved on the USB drive later review.

Advanced Image Analysis

Our innovative technology analyzes images with Skin Tone Detection, Texture Detection, Edge Detection, Mass Detection, Limb Detection, Face Detection.

Decision Process
Neural network technology uses the results of the image analysis and the text on the screen to decide if an image is offensive.
|
Image Blocking
FAF records suspected images and triggers your selected action, to warn or stop user from viewing pornography.

Text Analysis
FAF’s text analysis process uses a classifier that was developed using the Bayesian Network algorithm and implemented in FAF as a method of recognising words/phrases considered in the context of other words/phrases. This analysing technique is more accurate compared to the common simplistic keyword approach implemented in most filters and it supports Arabic, Thai, Russian, French and German.

Webpage Analysis
FAF scans the metadata and examines text in the Title, Keywords and Description field of a webpage header. It checks the website’s internet rating labels from reputable content rating body such as RSACi, SafeSurf and PICS amongst others and does an analysis of text, images, links and structure of any visited websites.
