EFFORTLESS REPORTING

Assure is designed for ease of use by teachers, pastoral care professionals, and other school staff. Our reports quickly and simply display what websites students are accessing, the searches they are performing, and provides online activity rating reports to help busy educators quickly spot an issue.

TIMELY CYBER WELFARE ALERTING

Teachers, wellbeing professionals and school leaders can subscribe to email alerts that provide actionable insights when students attempt to access inappropriate websites and videos, use potentially dangerous search keywords, or are involved in cyberbullying or self-harm. Assure’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine helps highlights, at-risk students, by automatically categorising content.

SIMPLE CLASSROOM WEB ACCESS MANAGEMENT

Self-service web access management allows teachers and non-IT staff to grant temporary access to sites that are normally blocked (or vice versa), allowing teaching activities to continue unimpeded. Integration with leading Learning Management Systems allows easy access from within the LMS.

CLOUD-BASED & FULLY MANAGED

Assure is fully cloud-based, so it’s scalable and quick to implement. Our support team is always ready to assist you in getting the maximum benefits that Assure offers. We make sure your data is backed up automatically, so IT resources can be used for core, learning-focused activities that deliver value to staff and students.

Alerts and reporting allow schools to act before an incident takes place, halting damage – and saving lives. Assure makes reporting simple and intuitive, saving Schools time and effort. We believe schools should not have to choose between cutting-edge network security and best of breed pastoral care tools. They should be able to benefit from both in an affordable manner. Assure adds industry-best pastoral care capability to next-generation firewalls from Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet, while controlling cost.

Assure came about for people like you: Teachers; Principals; School IT Managers; School Administration; and Pastoral Care professionals.
