A flashlight, not a camera.
We are not a monitoring service. We do not push notifications. We do not catch things in real time. ShieldScan is what you point at the corners of your kid's online life when you want to see, on your terms.
For parents
What to read, what to say, what to do— for your child's online life.
Free, privacy-first guides, scripts, and walkthroughs for the moments that actually matter — from setting family rules to having the hardest conversations to knowing what to do when something just happened.
Free. No accounts. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

What ShieldScan is, and isn't
In your browser. Period.
Every tool runs locally. No accounts, no logins, no data sent to a server. Refresh the page and your work clears. The privacy promise depends on nothing being there to break.
Calm, not scared.
The kids who come through hard moments best are the ones whose parents stayed steady. Every page on this site is written so that the calm version of you is the one who reads it. That is the whole point.
