What educators are saying about GoGuardian?
"I love the fact you can give access to YouTube for certain types of videos or allowlist certain types of videos."
"With GoGuardian, it is very simple to adjust the filters for different groups of students."
“We recommend it for any school district where you have people coming from off-site. If you have any events - football games, pageants, assemblies, a job day, or programs where parents, family, or vendors come - DNS filtering is great for that because we can allow everybody in and have access to our network, and our network and their privacy is safe. It's a win-win for both sides."
“What we really liked about GoGuardian was the ease of use and the ease of install. I loved the fact that with GoGuardian I was up and running in literally three minutes.”

What questions are customers asking?
How does GoGuardian Admin use AI to categorize and block new or inappropriate content?
GoGuardian Admin continuously uses Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to analyze site content, images, and context. This allows us to proactively categorize and block emerging threats, harmful content, and explicit images, including sites that traditional keyword-based filters miss.
Can we customize filtering policies for different student groups or grade levels?
Yes. GoGuardian Admin allows for highly granular policy customization. You can easily create distinct filtering rules for specific Organizational Units (OUs) synced from your Google Admin Console, ensuring age-appropriate and relevant access for every student group.
How does GoGuardian Admin handle filtering on YouTube?
GoGuardian Admin provides intelligent filtering beyond simple blocking. With YouTube, you can control access down to the video level or block specific categories.
How does GoGuardian manage new and uncategorized sites?
GoGuardian leverages AI and ML to categorize millions of sites daily. For maximum security, districts can automatically block uncategorized sites to prevent students from accessing brand-new, emerging, or unknown sites, providing a powerful safety net for students.
How does GoGuardian Admin help our district meet compliance requirements?
GoGuardian Admin is a key component for meeting federal regulations, including CIPA, FERPA, and COPPA. We help achieve CIPA compliance by providing the required technology protection measures (filtering) and oversight of minors' online activities. Furthermore, our strict data privacy practices are independently verified with an iKeepSafe COPPA Safe Harbor seal, ensuring we safeguard student data and privacy.
Does GoGuardian Admin support filtering on different operating systems?
Yes. GoGuardian Admin is a multi-platform solution designed to work across the diverse devices found in K-12 environments. It supports filtering for ChromeOS, macOS, iPadOS, and Windows devices. This ensures consistent policy enforcement, detailed reporting, and student safety, regardless of the device type used for learning.
