Securly Filter
K-12 content filtering built for the modern internet.
Securly Filter is the cloud web filter built exclusively for schools. It blocks proxy sites in real time, applies your filtering policies to student AI use, and covers every device on campus, at home, and on guest Wi-Fi.
Go beyond CIPA compliance
Filter is 100% cloud-based, with no hardware to buy or replace as enrollment grows, and no bandwidth or connection limits. Chromebooks, iPads, Windows, and Macs run under the same policies from one console, and SmartDNS extends those policies to BYOD and unmanaged devices.
Make your district proxy-proof
When a student opens a site Filter hasn’t seen before, PageScan analyzes the page text, metadata, images, and structure to categorize it in real time. Proxies and circumvention tools are blocked, and the signature is shared instantly across every district running Filter.
Let students use AI without losing visibility
Filter applies topic-level policies to student AI conversations the same way it applies categories to websites. Prompt-level reporting shows what students are actually asking, on tools like ChatGPT and Gemini and in Securly's own student-safe chat interface.
Included with Filter
SmartPAC filters iPads with no agents, proxies, or appliances, and gives you user-level reporting without asking young students to log in. Securly Home lets parents see activity, pause the internet, and adjust filtering rules on school-issued devices at home, with the district deciding how much control to hand over. Securly Reveal gives insights into student screen time and shows which apps and sites are actually used, and by whom, to let you make budgeting decisions backed by data.

Securly Aware
Comprehensive wellness visibility for K-12 students.
Aware uses K-12's longest-learning AI to scan web activity, searches, AI prompts, social media, and school cloud accounts across Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, looking for the earliest signs of self-harm, violence, and bullying.
Know which students need help, before they ask
A single flagged activity rarely tells you much. Aware assigns each student a Wellness Level based on a 60-day rolling view of their activity, so your team sees sustained patterns instead of isolated events. Homework detection separates a research paper from a student in distress, and districts set their own notification preferences.
Go beyond detection with proactive interventions
Think Twice detects hurtful language as a student types and prompts them to reconsider before sending. When a student's Wellness Level drops, the Wellness Widget presents your district's own mental health resources. Flagged activities are linked to cases in Aware Case Manager, which allows staff to collaborate on student safety cases and manage them to resolution.
