Securly

Securly is a cloud-based student safety company that provides K-12 schools and districts with web filtering, mental health monitoring, device management, and parental controls for school-issued devices. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in San Jose, California, Securly has raised more than $26 million and serves millions of students across thousands of schools. The company's platform is designed to give schools the tools to manage student digital safety comprehensively — filtering inappropriate content, monitoring for signs of student distress, and giving parents visibility into their child's school device activity.\n\nSecurly's Aware product monitors student email and web activity using AI to identify content that may indicate bullying, self-harm risk, depression, or other mental health concerns, and generates alerts for school counselors when patterns are detected. The web filtering product enforces content policies at the DNS level and integrates with Google Workspace for Education and Microsoft environments, providing category-based filtering that can be customized by grade level or student group. Securly's parental visibility features allow parents to see their child's browsing history on school devices and receive alerts about concerning activity, bridging the school-home communication gap around student digital behavior.\n\nSecurly competes closely with GoGuardian and Bark for Schools in the student safety and filtering space. The company differentiates through its combination of filtering, mental health monitoring, parental engagement, and device management in a single platform, and its competitive pricing for smaller districts. Securly has expanded its platform through acquisitions and product development to address the full student digital safety stack that schools now need to manage across one-to-one device programs.
