Compliance architecture
Compliance that runs itself — not a spreadsheet that hopes for the best
GPS geofencing, SIA licence sweeps, Working Time Directive rules and offline reliability, purpose-built for the regulatory reality of UK security firms.
GPS geofencing protocol
100m radius strict check-in validation
Officers must be inside the contracted geofence perimeter before the clock-in button unlocks on their mobile app. Outside the radius, punches are prevented and control is notified immediately.
SIA compliance engine
Automated licence verification
Every rota publish performs a live licence status check. Expired badges automatically lock assignment, so non-compliant staff cannot be scheduled.
Working Time Directive
48-hour caps & rest window auto-locks
DayOps tracks rolling weekly hours and required 11-hour rest periods. Approaching limits triggers soft alerts; breaches prevent shift allocation. Aligned with the UK Working Time Regulations 1998.
Resilient offline queue
Zero-signal basement check-ins
In basements, underground car parks and rural perimeters, attendance punches and patrol scans queue encrypted on the device and sync as soon as connectivity returns.
Rollout
Live in three clear steps
No painful multi-month migrations — most UK security firms deploy their first compliant shift within 72 hours.
