Kaspersky Safe Kids has received the ‘Approved’ certificates from AV-TEST and AV-Comparatives, independent testing organisations, for its outstanding effectiveness in blocking inappropriate content. 


Tests proved 100 percent and 98.1 percent in successful blocking of adult content on Windows platform, respectively. 


Kaspersky Safe Kids displayed a strong performance, particularly in its ability to block adult content. On the Windows platform, the app recorded a 100 percent blocking rate for adult content, marking it as the only vendor to achieve this result – also achieved in 2021 and 2023. Additionally, the solution displayed solid results guarding against other significant categories such as violence and gambling, with an overall average blocking rate of 92.20 percent. On the Android platform, Kaspersky Safe Kids performed a 99.09 percent blocking rate for adult content. 
Kaspersky Safe Kids received the Approved Certificate for Parental Control Test for the eighth consecutive time, remaining the only vendor in the market with such an achievement. 


Kaspersky Safe Kids achieved strong results in the 2024 AV-Comparatives test, where it successfully blocked 98.1 percent of pornographic websites and generated zero false positives on Windows. AV-Comparatives also recognised Kaspersky Safe Kids for its extensive range of monitoring and control functions and for the speed with which changes made in the console were implemented on the child’s device. 


Kaspersky’s solutions for effective digital parenting (Kaspersky Internet Security and later Kaspersky Safe Kids) have been regularly been tested independently by AV-Comparatives since 2014 – always succeeded in meeting certification criteria, earning the Approved certificates.


“We continuously strive to enhance the quality of our products to cater to the evolving needs of modern users. One of our key focus areas is digital parenting. We recognise the critical importance of offering reliable protection to children, who face heightened risks in the online world. Our goal is to empower parents with the confidence that their children are safeguarded. We are honoured and proud that independent testers have acknowledged our dedicated efforts in this regard,” commented Kaspersky Web Data and Privacy Analysis Group manager Flavio Negrini.
