What it is

SARD Anti-Cheat is a customizable system for detecting and preventing cheating in PC multiplayer games. It combines kernel-level monitoring, AI behavior analysis, and cross-source data verification.

SARD works with Unity, Unreal Engine, and custom engines, and supports Windows 32-bit or 64-bit games using C++ or C#. Its admin portal includes log review, penalty management, a cheat directory, and dashboards for detection and ban trends. SARD says it collects game-related data for detection, publisher review, and fair-play maintenance, without collecting personal information or sharing data with third parties. It states that handling follows GDPR requirements and encryption policies compliant with GDPR and ISO 27001. Secure Boot is required.
