Helps comply with CIPA requirements
Our customers use SmartFilter®, Bess® edition to achieve their CIPA-compliance goals. You can, too. SmartFilter, Bess edition effectively blocks obscenity and material that's harmful to minors, and therefore is an excellent solution to help organizations comply with U.S. CIPA guidelines. CIPA and the FCC have left it up to schools and libraries to "map" CIPA requirements to the categories of filtering vendors. Secure Computing® recommends that each school and library understand all categories available and apply a policy that best suits their school or community needs. Many of Secure Computing's customers create successful policies that rely on categories such as: Nudity, Pornography, Sexual Materials, and Extreme.

Bess also offers an Exempt feature that many schools and libraries find useful when building policy for students of differing ages and needs. This feature lets users view sites that fit into a particular Exempted category, regardless of other categories they may be in that are set to Block. For example, you may want to block nudity but allow it when it is related to health or education. Click here for more information on CIPA.
