  • Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari supported
  • Same filtering rules as the SafeAnywhere Browser
  • Zero-touch deployment on staff and BYOD machines
  • Signals flow into the same unified dashboard

Unified Principal & ICT dashboard

One dashboard, role-based lenses. The Principal sees compliance posture, severity queue and pattern persistence. The ICT lead sees filter health, device enrolment, policy rollout and anomalies.

  • Role-based views for Principal, ICT lead, Student Welfare Coordinator
  • Compliance posture, severity queue and pattern persistence
  • Filter health, enrolment, policy rollout and device anomalies
  • Shared view enables the IT × Safeguarding weekly handshake
For Colleges · Higher Education

Policy for the lab PC and the library terminal, not the student's personal laptop.

The colleges stack: SafeAnywhere Browser as the lab-PC default, the browser extension on library terminals, a lab-PC Guard profile at the OS layer, and a role-based dashboard for Dean, HOD IT, Librarian and Academic Integrity Officer. UGC, AICTE and NAAC inspection-ready.

SafeAnywhere Browser on lab PCs

The mandated browser for computer labs and department-managed workstations. Blocks VPN installers, proxy pages, generative-AI misuse during exams, pirated-content sites and known malware vectors, before the page renders.

  • Install on lab-PC image; applies to every student login
  • AI-aware filtering tuned for college-age autonomy (not over-blocking)
  • Exam-mode policy for proctored test windows
  • No keystroke, chat, or academic-work content ever read

Library terminal extension

For library-shared workstations where IT runs Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari rather than replacing the browser. The extension layers the same filter and signal set onto the browsers your library already uses.

  • Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari supported
  • Session-scoped policy that resets between student logins
  • Download blocking for executables and torrent clients
  • Signals flow into the same unified dashboard

Lab-PC Guard profile

A device-level agent that applies only to institutional lab PCs, never a student's personal laptop or phone. Enforces policy at the OS layer so students cannot bypass the browser by opening another application.

  • Lab PCs and library terminals only (never personal devices)
  • Blocks unauthorised installs and VPN clients at the OS layer
  • Session logging for academic-integrity reviews
  • Policy applies per student login, so it follows the student across terminals

Dean + IT Head dashboard

One dashboard, role-based lenses for higher education. The Dean of Students sees student-welfare patterns. The HOD IT sees filter health and lab anomalies. The Librarian sees terminal-level activity. The Academic Integrity Officer sees exam-window compliance.

  • Role-based views: Dean, HOD IT, Librarian, Academic Integrity Officer
  • Exam-window compliance and proctor-signal integration
  • Lab-PC fleet health, filter overrides, policy rollout
  • Audit trail for UGC / AICTE / NAAC inspection cycles

FAQ

Common questions from Principals, Deans, ICT leads and Librarians

Twelve questions covering product fit, DPDP compliance, UGC / AICTE / NAAC posture, rollout timelines and pricing.

What exactly does SafeAnywhere install on a school's devices?

Three things, depending on the device. On school-issued devices and ICT lab PCs, students use the SafeAnywhere Browser as the primary surface. On school tablets and ICT lab PCs, the Guard app runs as a device-level agent (Android tablets and Windows lab PCs today; iPad launching soon) to extend policy and attention signals beyond the browser into every app on the device. On staff and BYOD laptops, a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari applies the same filtering rules without changing the browser.

What does SafeAnywhere install at a college or university?

In colleges we deploy only on institutional devices: computer-lab PCs, library terminals, and department-managed workstations. The SafeAnywhere Browser is set as the lab-PC default; the browser extension sits on library terminals that already run Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari; the lab-PC Guard profile enforces policy at the OS layer so students cannot bypass by opening another application. We deliberately do not install on students' personal laptops or phones. Colleges serve adults; the policy applies to institutional computing, not personal devices.

What does the Principal / Dean / ICT dashboard show?

One unified dashboard with role-based lenses. The Principal (schools) or Dean of Students (colleges) sees compliance posture, severity queue and pattern persistence. The ICT lead or HOD IT sees filter health, device enrolment, policy rollout and anomalies. The Librarian sees terminal-level activity. The Academic Integrity Officer sees exam-window compliance. All roles read the same underlying data, so the weekly IT and Safeguarding (schools) or IT and Dean of Students (colleges) handshake is a 10-minute conversation about the data, not a reconstruction of it.

Is SafeAnywhere DPDP Act 2023 compliant?

Yes, by design. SafeAnywhere operates as a Data Processor under the DPDP Act 2023; the school or college is the Data Fiduciary. All personal data processed through SafeAnywhere is held in Indian data residency; cross-border transfers happen only with your explicit consent and under the Act's provisions. Processing is minimum-necessary by architecture; we never read messages, keystrokes, academic work or chat content. Breach notification plumbing, access and erasure endpoints, and documented retention windows ship built-in. Your legal counsel is the right next step for mapping the operational posture onto the specific statutory obligations your institution is subject to.

How does SafeAnywhere support UGC, AICTE and NAAC accreditation cycles for colleges?

Colleges increasingly need evidence of digital-safety and academic-integrity governance in UGC, AICTE and NAAC accreditation cycles. SafeAnywhere's dashboard produces inspection-ready evidence packs: lab-PC fleet health, filter effectiveness, exam-window compliance records, academic-integrity signal logs and incident response trails. We are not an accreditation body; we provide the operational artefacts that accreditation reviewers increasingly ask to see.

Does SafeAnywhere help with ragging detection in college hostels?

Yes. The bullying, ragging and unsafe-behaviour detection module uses AI-assisted video intelligence to flag physical altercations, aggressive-motion patterns and distress signals in hostels, corridors and common areas. Alerts route to the Dean of Students and designated anti-ragging committee members with time-stamped clips. No continuous human monitoring; no automated discipline. The module operates on pattern-level analysis, not individual profiling.

How does SafeAnywhere protect children and students without invading their privacy?

Privacy-first, ethics-driven design is architectural, not a policy choice. We never read messages, keystrokes, chat content, photos or academic work. Behaviour detection operates on pattern-level signals, not identification of individuals. Facial recognition is consent-driven and applies only to staff and visitors, never to children (schools) or students (colleges). All data processed in India by default. Humans retain full control over any response action; no automated discipline is ever taken.

Which school boards and higher-education frames does SafeAnywhere support?

On the schools side: CBSE, ICSE, IB, Cambridge, and all Indian state boards. The product is board-agnostic; the DPDP compliance posture, the Student Welfare Coordinator role support, and the Principal-ICT weekly handshake rhythm are the same across boards. On the higher-education side: UGC-governed universities, AICTE-approved engineering and management colleges, autonomous institutes, and NAAC-accredited institutions. Role mappings adjust to local structure.

Can SafeAnywhere coexist with the school's or college's existing filter or UTM?

Yes. SafeAnywhere is a browser-and-device-level control layer that operates independently of network UTM filters. Many institutions run both: the UTM handles network-wide blocklist enforcement, and SafeAnywhere handles application-level filtering, device-level policy, attention signals, incident response and the dashboard that unifies the picture. The two are complementary, not competing.

What's the typical rollout timeline?

A typical school rollout runs in a two-week window: week one for ICT lead walkthrough, device-image updates and Principal / Student Welfare Coordinator onboarding; week two for pupil-device enrolment and the first weekly review cycle. A typical college rollout runs 2 to 3 weeks: lab-PC image updates and library-terminal extension deployment in week one; Dean / HOD IT / Librarian dashboard training in week two; the first inspection-ready posture report in week three. The schools team or colleges team walks you through the exact plan for your institution.

Does SafeAnywhere support exam proctoring for board exams, university exams and placement tests?

Yes. The exam proctoring module (powered by wAnywhere.com) supports CBSE / ICSE board-exam mock proctoring, university semester-exam proctoring, placement-cell assessments, teacher-certification programmes and online entrance tests. It prevents cheating, screen recording and generative-AI misuse during the exam window; it integrates with the SafeAnywhere Browser's exam-mode policy so the lab-PC environment is locked down for the duration of the test.

How much does SafeAnywhere cost for schools and colleges?

Pricing is per-student per-year, scaled to institution size and the modules you adopt. There is no cost for the initial walkthrough or the inspection-ready posture report. Fill in the enquiry form for your audience and the schools or colleges team will send a quote within one business day.
