We're pleased to bring you our conversation with Crispin Swan, a founder of Family Zone. We’re grateful for his time and for coordinating a conversation across a huge time zone divide!

Family Zone offers a really strong solution for families (or small businesses and schools) who want to provide a “full-service” filtering option for their network. While filtering is important to help protect your family from the truly nasty stuff on the Internet, we’d affirm what Crispin said: for many families the real game-changer is simply the establishment of routines (limiting hours, scheduling downtime, etc.).

We both see Family Zone’s “secret sauce” as their use of cyber experts to continually update and monitor subscriptions and recommendations.
