Key steps to CIPA compliance:

Leverage Menlo Advanced Filtering Capabilities:

• Category-based filtering: Utilize pre-defined categories like pornography, violence, hate speech, and gambling with the ability to further customize within each category.
• Keyword filtering: Block access to content based on specific keywords associated with harmful material.
• URL filtering: Block access to known problematic websites based on their URLs.
  

The Menlo Secure Enterprise Browser solution offers the above and much more to help achieve CIPA compliance.

Policy Development:

• Internet Safety Policy: Create a clear and detailed policy outlining acceptable online behavior, consequences for violations, and procedures for reporting issues.
• User Education: Regularly educate users, especially minors, about online safety practices and how to use the content filter effectively.

The Menlo Secure Enterprise Browser solution can help enforce policies with clear, customizable notifications of attempts to consume blocked content.
