How “real-time” are alerts?

Assure continuously analyses activity and pushes risk alerts immediately to designated wellbeing, pastoral care, and IT recipients so they can act fast.

Regional hosting options on AWS help you meet school and district data-sovereignty requirements.

Does Saasyan train AI models on our student data?

No, Saasyan does not train AI models on your student data.

St Peter's Girls

Nossal High School has been using Saasyan Assure as an adjunct to our wellbeing program. It provides us with a huge amount of data relating to potentially concerning online behaviours and can be a trigger for early intervention or identification of breaches of our cyber ethics policies.

Nossal High School

Assure has been a great find for us. It surfaces a lot of information we previously were not able to see. And I am talking about very pertinent information. It also allows our staff to generate reports without having to wait longer than they need to.

The Society of Sacred Advent Schools

Saasyan makes it simple to identify students who may be looking for inappropriate content or spending too much time off task, so we can intervene to avoid the bad practice. It also helps us to identify students who may be at risk of self-harm or bullying in a space where we don’t normally have access to.
