Case Study: OffenderWatch reduces bot traffic and launches new revenue with DataDome

OffenderWatch cuts bot traffic by 90% with DataDome

OffenderWatch, a provider of sex offender registry software, faced a significant challenge from automated scraper bots overwhelming their systems and driving up bandwidth costs. Their publicly accessible data was being scraped by third parties, which required several hours of daily manual mitigation work. To protect this data, they turned to the bot protection solution DataDome.

By implementing DataDome, OffenderWatch achieved a remarkable 90% reduction in bot traffic, cutting their daily requests from 80 million to 2.5 million. This saved them substantial bandwidth costs and freed up several hours of manual labor each day. Furthermore, DataDome's protection allowed them to launch a new, paid commercial API, turning previous scrapers into paying customers and creating a new revenue stream.
