[Smoothwall_Luke]

📣 NEW Product Release!

 

Smoothwall Cloud Scan - Detect and remove harmful or inappropriate images in your cloud storage.

Smoothwall Cloud Scan is a quick and easy way to help keep your cloud storage free from harmful or non-compliant imagery.

 

How it works

 

Smoothwall Cloud Scan uses an AI image classification tool to accurately scan your school's cloud storage every 24 hours, and flag any images considered to be a risk.Flagged images are categorised according to risk type. Your designated staff (usually DSLs) are immediately alerted and given a choice of response options, including deleting the image or releasing it.

 

Key benefits

 

Make images safe within minutes - Full contextual data and image categorisation allow designated staff to see, assess and act immediately. Images can be made safe within minutes without the need for further investigation, resulting in minimal disruption to their day.

 

Support compliance - Cloud scan adheres to the UK Safer Internet Centre's Appropriate Monitoring Guidance. It addresses risk categories associated with imagery identified in KCSIE including risque and porn.

 

No IT burden - Designated staff receive full contextual data to make immediate decisions without requiring IT support, saving valuable time.

We’re excited to share our latest customer case study featuring Damian Hodkinson, CSS Senior Officer at Stockport Council.
 

Like many local authorities, Damian faced growing concerns around the visibility into cloud-stored content across the schools he supports. With increasing safeguarding responsibilities and evolving digital behaviour among students, it was clear a new approach was needed. That’s where Smoothwall Cloud Scan came in.

 

Watch the case study to discover:

• What surprised him most about the data Cloud Scan uncovered

• Why Damian rolled out Cloud Scan across many of the schools in Stockport Council

• The key safeguarding and IT visibility challenges it helped solve

• The immediate impact on digital safety across the trust
