The platforms behind the protection

A suite of privacy-first, mission-driven technology platforms developed by The Proudfoot Group and its partners — forming the technological backbone of the Digital Child Safe Ecosystem.

Technology that protects without surveilling

Every platform in the DCSE was built on the same foundational principle: protecting children and communities should never require compromising privacy. On-device processing, local AI, and zero data collection are not features — they are commitments.

🛡️
On-Device AI · Child Safety

RoseShield™

Privacy-first AI that detects when children are using an app and instantly activates age-appropriate protections — content filtering, grooming detection, communication monitoring, and threat blocking. All processing happens locally on the device. No data is collected, no cloud uploads, no surveillance.


How it works: Behavioral signals — typing patterns, navigation speed, interaction style — are analyzed entirely on-device. When a child is detected, RoseShield™ activates a protective layer automatically, without requiring parental setup or app modification.


Compliance: Enables automatic alignment with COPPA, GDPR-K, KOSA, and global child safety regulations.

On-Device AI · Elder Safety

RoseShield™ Senior

The RoseShield™ architecture extended to protect elderly and vulnerable adult populations online. Applies the same privacy-first, on-device detection model to identify exploitation patterns targeting older adults — financial fraud, romance scams, coercive digital relationships, and predatory communications.


RoseShield™ Senior extends the AHA Foundation's protective mission beyond children to the full spectrum of vulnerable community members — including the elderly residents of the High Country who are increasingly targeted by digital exploitation.

Platform Safety · Compliance

ChildSafe.dev

A downstream digital child safeguarding platform providing developer SDK integration, compliance infrastructure, and institutional reporting for any platform serving children. ChildSafe.dev creates accountability across the digital ecosystem — connecting technology companies with safety standards and law enforcement reporting pathways.


The AHA Foundation serves as a strategic bridge between ChildSafe.dev and community institutions in the High Country — including schools, libraries, and government agencies.

Community Safety · Native Brigade

Sentinel Guard™

Developed by Native Brigade — an Indigenous-led technology and public safety organization — Sentinel Guard™ provides real-time community safety monitoring, situational awareness tools, and threat detection for law enforcement, tribal nations, and community organizations.


The AHA Foundation's partnership with Native Brigade brings Sentinel Guard™ capabilities to the High Country, supporting trafficking identification, community alert systems, and coordinated response between law enforcement and social service agencies.

Trafficking Detection · Native Brigade

Adams Watch™

A specialized human trafficking detection, tracking, and reporting platform developed by Native Brigade. Named in the tradition of advocacy for missing and murdered Indigenous women and children, Adams Watch™ equips educators, social workers, and law enforcement with intelligence tools to identify at-risk individuals, recognize trafficking patterns, and coordinate rapid, community-centered response.


Adams Watch™ is the primary anti-trafficking intelligence layer of the DCSE — and a cornerstone of the AHA Foundation's community education and law enforcement partnership programming in Watauga County.

Adams Watch™ enables:

  • Pattern recognition for trafficking behaviors in digital and physical environments
  • At-risk individual identification and case flagging for social workers
  • Coordinated rapid response between community organizations and law enforcement
  • Educator and community member training and reporting tools
  • Data-informed awareness programming for schools and community organizations

Native Brigade

Native Brigade is an Indigenous-led technology and public safety organization developing community-centered solutions to the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous peoples, human trafficking, and digital exploitation.

The AHA Foundation's strategic partnership with Native Brigade brings both Sentinel Guard™ and Adams Watch™ into the High Country DCSE deployment — honoring Indigenous leadership in the fight against trafficking and connecting our communities with powerful, purpose-built tools.

Partnership includes:

  • Sentinel Guard™ High Country deployment for community and law enforcement use
  • Adams Watch™ integration with AHA Foundation education and outreach programming
  • Joint grant applications for anti-trafficking and Indigenous community safety funding
  • Training and capacity-building for High Country educators, social workers, and law enforcement
