Cipafilter is a small IT services and IT consulting firm based in Moline, Illinois. Its roots go back to DerbyTech, founded in 1985, with Cipafilter introduced in 1999 as a context-sensitive web filter for schools. Since then, the offering has expanded to include a broader set of security and management capabilities for educators, featuring reporting and alerting alongside firewall protection. Its primary customers are educational institutions seeking safe, controllable Internet access and oversight of online activity, helping them enforce content policies and monitor usage. The company sits in the IT services and IT consulting industry, with a focus on education technology solutions tailored for schools. In February 2022, Linewize Services Ltd. acquired Cipafilter, reflecting ongoing consolidation in the school-safety software market.
