Are you OnGuard?
OnGuard is Netsweeper’s latest proactive monitoring system. Designed to help protect students from digital safeguarding concerns and online dangers.
OnGuard is an AI detected, human-verified digital safeguarding solution, which actively monitors all activity on supported school devices and identifies actions, taken by students, that could indicate or lead to potential risks to their wellbeing. All risks are then displayed in the onGuard dashboard in an accessible and adaptable interface, making the product extremely user-friendly and escalations easy to navigate.

The system also works online and offline, scanning internet content, desktop content and user-submitted data in real-time, meaning you can rest assured your school is thoroughly monitored and digital safeguarded from content relating to violence, self-harm, cyberbullying, and other serious threats.
