SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TwelveLabs, a leading video intelligence company, today announced the general availability of Compliance by TwelveLabs, a new SaaS solution that helps media, entertainment, and broadcast teams screen video content against compliance standards. Now any violations can be rapidly identified, with a rationale provided, so that teams can take appropriate action. Compliance by TwelveLabs debuts on the heels of the company’s $100 million Series B announcement. It marks the first application to be built on TwelveLabs’ video intelligence platform, the company’s full-stack agentic system for video that enables AI to understand the content, context, and meaning of video, rather than simply identifying what appears on screen.
“Video compliance review is broken, and TwelveLabs is uniquely capable of fixing it,” said Jae Lee, CEO and co-founder of TwelveLabs. “Our compliance app is all about your compliance rules, not ours. We surface potential violations and give reviewers the power to make decisions faster and easier than ever before.”
Compliance by TwelveLabs was designed to target four of the most complex issues plaguing global content teams: effort, variance, access, and media authenticity. Traditional manual compliance review has long been a bottleneck, as screening a single two-hour master for potential violations can take a human reviewer at least a week. Compliance by TwelveLabs takes this time spent down to minutes, saving companies both hard and soft costs.
On the variance front, every market carries its own standards (i.e. the MPA in the U.S., Ofcom in the UK, CNC in France, Gmedia in Saudi Arabia, ClassInd in Brazil, and ACB in Australia). This is on top of each studio's internal policies. Compliance by TwelveLabs adapts to any defined standard, dramatically simplifying workload and reducing the risk of errors.
In terms of accuracy, existing AI moderation tools have promised relief but tend to generate so many false positives that reviewers end up re-scrubbing the entire timeline anyway, erasing the time savings they were meant to deliver. Compliance by TwelveLabs is designed to target reviewer rejection (false-positive) rates of 15% or lower, so flagged moments are worth a reviewer's time.
A fourth risk is compounding fast: media authenticity. In the era of generative AI, synthetic content is growing rapidly, making verifying video authenticity critical. Compliance by TwelveLabs addresses this by integrating NVIDIA Synthetic Video Detector for real-time content scoring. Combining NVIDIA's frame-level detection with TwelveLabs' contextual reasoning delivers a unified workflow to catch policy violations and flag synthetic media seamlessly.
“As generative video becomes cheaper, better, and more prevalent, broadcasters need the speed and scale to verify what’s real. TwelveLabs’ integration of NVIDIA’s Synthetic Video Detector into its compliance workflow gives content teams frame-level authenticity checks without slowing review.”
— Richard Kerris, Vice President of Media and Entertainment, NVIDIA
A Smarter Compliance Workflow
Compliance by TwelveLabs specifically assists compliance teams in the following ways:
- Ingests video and runs analysis against regional or fully custom rule packs. Compliance by TwelveLabs gives compliance leads and operations teams direct control over the rules themselves, with full versioning as those rules change.
- Generates findings with context, not just labels. Returns evidence, not just labels. Every flag includes written justification (timecode, visual/audio context, and applied rules), allowing reviewers to confirm findings in seconds.
- Provides a clear reviewer workflow, updated in real time. Compliance by TwelveLabs presents a flagged-moment timeline, with the choice to accept, reject, or annotate. Reviewers can mark a false-positive for reclassification. They can also track status progression (needs review → under review → reviewed), all from the dashboard.
- Flags AI-generated video. Powered by NVIDIA Synthetic Video Detector, Compliance by TwelveLabs screens footage for synthetic manipulation in real time, delivering confidence scores alongside findings to flag fabricated content before broadcast.
- Supports rule pack authoring. Teams can build via form, auto-generate from imported PDFs, or start from 40+ pre-configured regional packs, making setup and ongoing management remarkably simple.
- Includes quality telemetry and versioning. This consists of approval/rejection metrics, non-regression validation, and side-by-side pack or model comparisons.
- Offers exports and API-first access. TwelveLabs delivers signed JSON, PDF, and CSV reports. It also gives full API access to compliance data and actions.
- Delivers a fully managed SaaS solution. TwelveLabs handles hosting and updates, so teams get easy deployment and minimal ongoing maintenance.
TwelveLabs has simplified compliance since the introduction of its models, but the new SaaS solution significantly enhances capabilities to make global video compliance seamless. And as the first application built on TwelveLabs’ video intelligence platform, it lays the groundwork for future advancements. Its shared foundation of tenant isolation, asset management, indexing, orchestration, and reviewer tooling means the company can ship new video workflow applications faster than ever.
Compliance by TwelveLabs will be showcased at IBC2026 in Amsterdam. Conference attendees can find TwelveLabs representatives in booth 5.D82. Or learn more by visiting TwelveLabs at www.twelvelabs.io/compliance.
