SurfProtect Features

SurfProtect is an education-focused filtering solution created to safeguard pupils online while empowering schools to provide a safe, engaging digital learning environment. Developed by Exa Networks, it is trusted by schools, academies, and multi-academy trusts across the UK.

At its heart, SurfProtect is designed to balance protection with accessibility. Children need to explore the internet for research, creativity, and learning, but schools also carry a statutory duty to shield them from harmful content. SurfProtect achieves this balance with intelligent, adaptable filtering that keeps pace with the ever-changing online landscape.

Unlike generic filtering products, SurfProtect is tailored specifically to education. It works along school systems, supports safeguarding processes, and provides leaders and DSLs with the visibility they need. This means schools can not only meet statutory obligations but also demonstrate clearly to inspectors, governors, and parents that the highest standards of safeguarding are in place.
