General#16. Is DansGuardian CIPA compliant?

Becoming CIPA compliant is a multi-step procedure that involves creating written policies, having open meetings for public input, technology planning and applying a technology protection measure. DansGuardian meets all of the requirements necessary for implementing a technology protection measure. If a school/library only installed DansGuardian and did none of the other steps, they would not be CIPA compliant, so technically, software cannot be labeled CIPA compliant. Legally, it is a significant distinction. (Written by Tamara Georgick, Technology and Training Consultant, Washington State Library).
