How you can trust our service

Brightfilter uses a special database which contains millions and millions of website addresses. This database represents the culmination of over 15 years of work by global companies such as N2H2, Secure Computing and CyberGuard; as well as data provided by Internet Security and Child Protection organisations such as TrustedSource, CIPA, APWG and IWF.

The database is updated 24x7 365 days a year and is used by over 20,000 organisations worldwide. With data gathered in over 60 languages and researched by a team of over 40 engineers you can be sure that the very best level of protection is available to you and your family.

The Brightfilter Parental Control solution represents a next-generation level of protection for the family when using the Internet. Traditional solutions would install a huge database of websites on the local computer which means the software is only as good as its last update. A large, memory intensive database slows the computer down and hinders the entire Internet experience for the whole family. Brightfilter not only maintains its database in the Internet cloud, but configured profiles can also be controlled and administered by the parent from anywhere with an Internet Connection. In addition, any changes made via the Brightfilter Admin area are automatically populated in real-time to all other machines configured to use the Brightfilter solution. There is no need to sit at each PC - saving you time and hassle.

CIPA imposes certain types of requirements on any school or library that receives funding support for Internet access or internal connections from the ?E-rate? program ? a program that makes certain technology more affordable for eligible schools and libraries. In early 2001, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued rules implementing CIPA. The Brightfilter database is CIPA compliant.
