ContentKeeper
What ContentKeeper is
ContentKeeper is Ativion’s web-filtering product for schools protecting students online at school and at home. Its hybrid design combines cloud filtering for managed devices away from campus with inline filtering for devices on the school network, using one policy framework. Supported environments include Chromebooks, Windows and macOS computers, iPads, BYOD devices, major browsers, and network-connected devices; iPad filtering covers both browsers and apps. Administrators manage policies centrally, apply changes in real time, and use advanced activity reports to investigate activity. Optical character recognition can detect concerning text and alert staff for safeguarding follow-up. Schools can restrict YouTube Shorts and comments while allowing educational videos embedded in trusted learning platforms. SSL inspection exposes encrypted web traffic for more precise filtering, and risk scoring identifies suspected proxy sites for blocking. Pricing is available on request, with a demo offered instead of a public price.
