Online abuse is personally traumatic, cowardly and all too often anonymously carried out with little repercussions for the perpetrator or support for the victim. It can also greatly damage brand reputation and is increasingly an issue for social media platforms, government and businesses.
Watchdog, Comsec’s proprietary automated software, provides a well-tested, robust and agile detection system that is accepted by all major platform suppliers. Our software identifies abusive and discriminatory posts, takes steps to reveal the user’s identity and initiates the ‘take-down’ process on behalf of the client.

By using complex machine learning techniques, we are able to train a computer model to detect an object (logo) or text – completely bespoke to the client. This allows for the automation of detecting the client’s brands logos or relevant text on images, as well as on product, right down to identifying serial numbers on products/labels and storing this information in Watchdog.
Comsec works with leading data scientists to train a bespoke computer model to identify an object (logo) of interest or text within an image. We provide an initial set-up service, which takes place in two stages: collating 250-500 example images for each object (logo), followed by an approximate six-week process of training a computer model to detect the logos clients brands against items brought into Watchdog.
Watchdog has the ability to search, filter and analyse this data in a secure environment, turning information from eCommerce sites, websites and social media platforms into actionable intelligence to protect the client business.
Watchdog searches key sites of interest to clients to identify sales of products containing their brand name. Any images associated with these items are harvested in the database. Using a bespoke object detection model, clients can filter and surface images of interest.
Once the model has been completed and integrated into the Watchdog service, results can be filtered by:
● Confidence rating that the results identified match the logo (object) of interest
● Object/Text identified
● Matches found by specific search terms
● Images containing text matching a specified pattern

Exciting news! In the summer of 2022, we started a project to integrate Power BI into Watchdog. Power BI is the gold standard for business intelligence and it was the natural choice for integration with Watchdog – the gold standard for asset protection!
Power BI is easily able to ingest the “big data”, which Watchdog generates and offers infinite flexibility in report generation. Partnering with experts in their field, On Data, we are delighted to announce the successful completion of the project, Power BI is now fully integrated into Watchdog.
What does this mean for Watchdog customers? Taking a data feed from Watchdog, Power BI surfaces reports together with visualizations which bring colour and life to your data. A comprehensive selection of reports are available to customers and we are able to develop custom reports on request.
Power BI is embedded into Watchdog, customers receive the full benefit of the application without stepping outside of the Watchdog platform. Customers who have Power BI integrated into their business will be able to view Watchdog reports via their own Power BI portal.
What’s next…. new feature development, data enrichment and operational refinement of Watchdog is relentless and the Power BI integration will keep pace with this. Since the inception of Watchdog, its evolution has always been customer led, the decision to integrate Power BI was driven by our customer base, so what’s next could be your call!
