Making the web safer for students
Securly filter helps schools meet their online safety and compliance duties by providing age-appropriate filtering and monitoring that works across all locations and all devices.
It provides visibility into online activity via emailed or downloaded reports and sends notifications for flagged content from the most sophisticated safeguarding engine in student safety, whether students are working at school or at home keeping them safe at all times.
Real-time AI-based notifications based on context, not just keywords
Securly Aware utilises Artificial Intelligence and Sentiment Analysis to monitor emails, documents, and social media messages to look for clues into a student’s well-being. The sophisticated AI engine analyses the context of content, rather than just keywords to identify potential bullying, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. It also enhances PageScan and ScreenScan, which enables advanced nudity detection by utilising imagine-analysis AI on screenshots of web pages to facilitate the blocking of individual pictures, pages and previously unseen text free pornographic websites. Real-time alerts and delegated administration ensure that no student activity goes unchecked.
Don’t let critical alerts get buried in your inbox
When school safeguarding staff are away the expertly trained Securly On-Call team ensures that no student’s cry for help is missed. The AI-powered sentiment engine scans Google, Bing, Yahoo and YouTube searches, as well as emails and social media posts to identify any potential signs of self-harm, violence, or bullying. The flagged results are sent to the Securly On-Call team who analyse the activity in the context of the student’s complete digital engagement to determine the severity and then alert your nominated staff based on your chosen escalation procedure so they can intervene.
Securly On-Call can also be complimented by TipLine which allows students to anonymously report their concerns to the Securly On-Call service. These are then analysed by the team with the school receiving an alert for any credible active dangers.

What our customers say
We use Securly to filter the internet on our Chromebooks because it is reliable, regularly enhanced, simple to use and Securly offer a Chromebook specific solution to filtering which is perfect for our school needs. It installs easily through the google device manager and there are easy to follow guides on the website and quick to respond support staff. As Securly is managed in the cloud I can monitor pupil internet use and maintain policies from any location. It also means if we were going to allow pupils to take them home they would still be filtered by our policies through Securly. I am confident the service will continue to fulfil the school needs in the future
