MySSP | Safeguarding and Monitoring Platform

Protect students. Support staff. Stay compliant.

MySSP is a safeguarding and monitoring platform designed for schools and colleges. It helps you track and analyse student activity across devices and networks, raising alerts for potential safeguarding risks such as self-harm, bullying, or exposure to harmful content. With clear dashboards and reporting, staff can act quickly to support students and meet safeguarding requirements.

Overview

MySSP is an advanced safeguarding and digital monitoring platform designed specifically for schools, colleges, and multi-academy trusts that require protection for students and support staff in today’s connected learning environments.

 

Powered by an enterprise-grade security stack, MySSP combines intelligent web filtering, real-time activity monitoring, and automated safeguarding alerts to help education providers create a safer online space for every learner. The platform continuously analyses user activity across school devices and networks, detecting signs of potential safeguarding risks such as cyberbullying, self-harm, radicalisation, online grooming, or exposure to inappropriate content.

 

With its intuitive dashboards, comprehensive reporting, and live alerts, MySSP enables Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) and IT teams to respond quickly to concerns, evidence compliance, and meet statutory safeguarding duties, including Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE), Prevent, and Ofsted online safety requirements.

 

MySSP doesn’t just safeguard students, it also simplifies network management and compliance workflows, reducing the burden on staff. Through intelligent filtering, traffic analysis, and secure cloud-based reporting, it gives leadership teams full visibility and confidence in their safeguarding approach.

 

Whether you’re a single-site school or a multi-campus institution, MySSP delivers scalable protection, centralised control, and seamless integration with existing infrastructure to help your organisation stay compliant, connected, and cybersecure.
