The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) proudly announces DialXS’ CEO Chris Visser as the winner of this year’s prestigious Service Recognition Award.
The ASACP Service Recognition Award was created to honor the dedicated volunteers who have supported the association’s mission of protecting children and at-risk youth by providing essential assistance and services. ASACP’s Executive Director, Tim Henning, presented an elegantly engraved crystal trophy symbolizing this honor at the 2026 XBIZ Honors event in Hollywood.
“I always look forward to presenting ASACP’s Service Recognition Award. It’s a privilege to honor such a caring and dedicated group of individuals who tirelessly work to improve online child safety,” Henning said. “For 2026, I am proud to recognize DialXS CEO Chris Visser for his exceptional efforts in supporting online child safety and generosity in supporting the association’s travel and outreach.”
Since 2000, DialXS has helped companies find the right payment solutions, ensuring that clients’ customers can pay for services and products quickly and easily. DialXS is innovative and proactive, offering safe and reliable technologies, and is known for its flexibility and customer orientation in all situations.
In keeping with his character of humble service, Visser thanked the association for this unexpected honor.
“This year, we celebrate 30 years of ASACP,” Visser said. “I feel very small next to such a long journey, but I’m truly grateful to be part of it.”
“To Alec Helmy — thank you for creating this in 1996. I don’t know you well, but I deeply respect the vision you started,” Visser explained. “To the whole team, including all Advisory and European Advisory Council members — your quiet, constant work, availability, feedback, and support truly touch my heart and humble me.”
Visser also thanked the association’s dedicated team, and especially Tim Henning, whom he calls “a dear friend, built through so many thoughtful and meaningful conversations over the years.”
“I admire your unselfish passion and dedication for the cause,” Visser said. “Your strength and endless work, together with Erege’s efforts, keep everything alive and moving forward. I care for all of you more than I can say.”
Visser noted that ASACP’s impact is powerful and real, with over 1.3 million reports sent since 2003, thousands of children protected worldwide, parents given simple tools to keep kids safe, and the industry steadily guided to higher standards of compliance.
“ASACP plays an important role in the world, and as its Travel Sponsor, I try to help Tim keep in personal contact with sponsors, members, and the industry at large, around the world,” Visser continued. “And lately, helping to support Michelle Marriott, who has also joined the team to assist Tim in bringing in new sponsors for this important work.”
Visser urges every industry member who is not sponsoring the association to reach out to Michelle and Tim, because the incentives and rewards are bigger than one might imagine.
“Join me in becoming a proud supporter of ASACP’s efforts and its important role,” Visser concluded. “I’ve always chosen to stay in the background and help where I’m needed, and I will continue along that way. I hope you’ll join us as well!”
Henning again thanked Visser and encouraged others to take up the cause.
“ASACP and I are most grateful for Chris’s efforts and those of all others who help keep kids safer online,” Henning concluded. “It is a huge effort, and one in which we can use all the help we can get.”
