Phosra offers a single API that enables apps and platforms to meet child‑safety compliance across more than 91 statutes by automatically handling age verification and rule enforcement on every surface a child interacts with. The integration also generates a signed receipt as proof of compliance, eliminating the need for hundreds of separate, brittle integrations.

Problem
Developers and platforms must implement dozens of separate, brittle integrations to satisfy over 90 child‑safety statutes, leading to high engineering effort, frequent breakage when laws or APIs change, and protection gaps that children can exploit.
Solution
Phosra offers a single, standards‑based API that implements the Open Child Safety Specification (OCSS) and runs an accredited routing network. A developer sends an age signal to the API; Phosra applies the appropriate rule set—derived from 91+ statutes and 115 rule categories—and returns a signed, tamper‑evident receipt. The router forwards the sealed decision to any connected surface (streaming services, DNS filters, MDM, routers, app controls), ensuring consistent enforcement across all platforms a child uses. Because the OCSS envelope is cryptographically sealed, the router cannot read policy payloads, preserving privacy while providing regulators with replayable audit logs. New statutes are added to the rule registry, and the router automatically enforces them without additional code changes, eliminating the need for hundreds of bilateral integrations.
Target Audience
Primary customers are developers of parental‑control apps, platform providers, device manufacturers, and regulated organizations (schools, telecoms, MNOs) that need to enforce child‑safety policies across multiple digital surfaces.
