E-Guardian Launches SNS Risk Detection Service

E-Guardian, Inc., based in Minato, Tokyo, has recently announced the launch of an innovative service aimed at safeguarding educational institutions from the risks associated with social media. This new service, known as the SNS Risk Immediate Detection Service, focuses on helping schools manage social media-related threats effectively and building a robust internal control system as required by upcoming legislation.

As a comprehensive internet security company, E-Guardian has been providing a wide range of services including post monitoring, identity verification, advertisement review, social listening, and cybersecurity. In light of recent advancements in generative AI technology, they are also intensifying their efforts in developing IT solutions centered around AI.

In recent years, incidents of bullying, the dissemination of inappropriate videos, images, and messages on social media, and unauthorized information leaks have emerged as critical issues that pose substantial operational risks to educational institutions. These challenges not only threaten a school's reputation but can also directly impact student enrollment. The necessity for effective management of these risks has been underscored by the revised Private School Law, which mandates the establishment of internal control systems for larger educational entities starting in April 2025. Consequently, this has shifted the focus on SNS risk management from individual efforts to a broader institutional compliance responsibility.

In response to these pressing issues, E-Guardian has developed the SNS Risk Immediate Detection Service tailored specifically for educational institutions. The service operates on two main fronts: prevention of incidents and early detection to mitigate damage in case incidents occur.

Key Features of the Service:

1. Educational Seminars for Teachers and Students: E-Guardian will conduct seminars aimed at raising awareness across the organization, reducing the potential for inadvertent information leaks and inappropriate postings.
2. Pre-Check for Official Account Posts: By establishing a systematic procedure for pre-checking posts from official accounts, such as those of clubs or research groups, schools can ensure a double layer of safety and preemptively eliminate potential issues before they arise.
3. Regular Monitoring of Social Media and Platforms: Utilizing a combination of experienced operators and AI, the service provides comprehensive oversight across multiple platforms, including X, TikTok, and more, ensuring rapid detection of problematic content such as bullying or viral issues.

By enabling rapid educational guidance and interventions before situations escalate, this innovative service contributes to the strengthening of internal control systems, ultimately fostering a safe environment for school operations.

Looking forward, E-Guardian is also exploring options to further streamline compliance across institutions by potentially offering e-learning services that focus on thorough SNS education and the management of training history for faculty and students.

E-Guardian remains committed to delivering high-quality, specialized services aimed at realizing their mission of "We Guard All," continuously seeking to enhance the convenience and quality of life for people through effective service development.
