Web Filtering and Alerting

Our web filtering seamlessly integrates with school devices and networks, offering fully customisable policies and detailed reports.
Choose Croft for a safer online environment for your students, helping to foster learning while ensuring their wellbeing.
Benefits of Web Filtering and Alerting
Precise Filtering
Our web filtering sorts hundreds of thousands of websites into over 100 categories daily, differentiating types of sites such as adult gaming versus educational gaming, promoting a safe digital learning experience.
Flexible Policy Management
Implement simple out-of-the-box CIPA compliance, or build comprehensive policies based on existing roster groups to selectively allow or block content and set parameters for safe search, read-only social media, unknown content, and more.
Actionable Insights
Enable rapid decision making with MAT Wide, School, and User-focused dashboards and reports. Get instant visibility of all student and staff on-device usage, including top websites, apps, blocks, searches, and more.
LightSpeed Alert – Recommended Optional Add-on
Lightspeed Alert™ is an at-risk student identification solution that monitors and analyses online activity for signs of self-harm, bullying, explicit content, violence, drugs, and weapons. Students often confide in their devices in ways they may not be willing or able to in person. Looking for warning signs in online activity identifies students in need of help who might otherwise go unseen. By allowing staff to focus efforts on early intervention, Lightspeed Alert empowers schools to take a proactive approach to student safety.
Device and integration level scanning provides the widest range of insight on categories such as self-harm, bullying, explicit content, violence, drugs, and weapons, while sophisticated AI separates signal from noise.
How our Web Filtering and Alerting Works
1. Sophisticated AI scans for warning signs
AI technology scans and flags concerning indicators and sends alerts to designated district safety staff as well as LightSpeed Safety Specialists.
2. LightSpeed specialists conduct threat identification
LightSpeed's 24/7/365 in-house team of highly-trained safety specialists evaluate all alerts to identify those that indicate a potential critical event.
3. Escalation response
If an alert is determined to be critical, safety specialists will escalate to the school's custom escalation list, allowing for early intervention.
