Securly

Securly, Inc. is a venture-backed student safety and device management software provider headquartered in Silicon Valley. Securly was founded in January 2013 by Vinay Mahadik, Bharath Madhusudan, and Nikita Chikate. It was incorporated in California on July 19, 2013. In March 2019, Securly expanded to cover classroom and device management.
Securly uses natural language processing and machine learning techniques to monitor students' web browsing, web searches, video watching, social media posts, emails, online documents and drives. 
Features.
Securly primarily acts as a web filter to prevent students from accessing certain websites. It offers K-12 schools tools to monitor and restrict students' internet usage. While the main purpose is to monitor for suspicious activity, it can also be used for classroom management. Securly also features a parent portal, where parents may set up filters for home use in addition to any school filters already in place. 
Filter.
Securly Filter is the primary method of monitoring on student devices. The cloud-based filter works on Chromebooks, iPads, Macs, and Windows-based computers. It provides administrators with records of online activity, generated reports, and notifications for attempts to access flagged content. The filter uses machine learning algorithms to detect and block content on devices. Geofencing can be used to change the filter depending on whether or not the device is on school campus.
Auditor and 24.
Auditor is a subsystem for G-Suite that uses natural-language processing to detect cyber-bullying and indications of self-harm. This alerts the school counselor and the parents of affected students.
As of 2019, Auditor was updated to include image scanning of JPG, PNG and GIF files uploaded to Google Drive, combining flesh-tone detection and object recognition with machine learning to provide a nudity-detection service for both downloaded pornography and student selfies.
Parent Portal.
The Securly Parent Portal allows users to view what students or children are accessing online. It is available as a standalone app on iOS and Android.
Tipline.
Tipline is software that uses human and AI monitoring to identify potential issues. It serves the same essential function as Auditor, but monitors social media, as well as internet usage.
Hub.
The Securly Hub is a Wi-Fi router that applies the aforementioned features to all devices on a given Wi-Fi network. It has the added ability to pause connections to individual devices.
Controversy.
Securly has claimed its services help to prevent school shootings, but it has been criticized for not providing data that supports this claim.
Organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union allege that Securly impedes on Privacy Rights in schools. Some criticism stems from the belief that Securly is shifting focus from the students' issues, discouraging counseling, and imposing censorship on students in the name of conforming to rules.
