Pioneering Digital Safeguarding Solutions in Education

About Us

Since 2002 Securus has been at the forefront of online safety and monitoring software solutions for the education sector. As a pioneer of digital safety, we have developed leading edge technology and continue to innovate in response to the ever-changing online landscape.

Our proactive digital monitoring software can detect new and emerging threats alongside established sources and types of online risk across schools, MATs, further education, Federations, Local Authorities and any educational setting. Our primary focus is always to safeguard, monitor and protect the welfare and online safety of children and young people from digital harms, threats and unsafe behaviours.

Securus Monitoring In detail

Securus actively monitors and promotes safe online behaviours for topics of concern taking place, such as:

  • cyber bullying
  • suicide and self harm
  • mental health issues
  • racism and discrimination
  • hacking
  • gang culture
  • substance abuse
  • sexual abuse and grooming

When an incident is detected a screenshot ‘capture’ with detailed evidence is stored on our highly secure cloud-based console for review by an authorised member of school staff. 

Alternatively, when using our Full Monitoring Service (Securus FMS), our safeguarding team monitors all captures on your behalf, immediately alerting school staff to high severity incidents.

Key Components of Securus Digital Monitoring

The Securus
Console

Our intuitive, secure, access anywhere, cloud based console captures and stores all incidents triggered by words and phrases detected from our library containing 24+ categories of concern.

When an incident is detected a screenshot ‘capture’ with detailed evidence automatically updates the Securus Console, enabling safeguarding staff to easily review and manage potential risks.

The console also features a management dashboard and reporting suite.

The Monitoring
Software

With online & offline monitoring at both the device and network level, our Securus 360 software monitors all school managed devices & also personal devices connected to the school network. Incidents triggered generate a screenshot ‘capture’ with full details which instantly updates the Securus Console.

We not only capture keyboard generated incidents. With our unique OCR scanning technology our device level software also captures ANY application generated incidents including leading applications such as Office 365, Microsoft Teams and Google Workspace

How Securus Works Jewel

Fully Managed Service
or Self Managed

With Securus 360, schools have the option to monitor captures themselves using the Securus Console. If time constraints and staff resource are stretched, you may wish to leave the monitoring to us.

With Securus FMS, our fully managed service, our highly trained safeguarding team will monitor activity on behalf of the school and alert school DSLs, safeguarding and senior leadership staff to incidents of concern.

Customer
Support & Portal

As a customer, you will have full access to our dedicated support team and knowledge base portal. Key support features include all software updates plus library updates to reflect both current threats, trends and jargon and our work with industry bodies such as the IWF & CTIRU.

We also provide unlimited online training sessions alongside telephone and email support.
