Ops — every contract on one screen

Cloud-based infrastructure for security operations.

Every site, post, officer and shift runs from one live dashboard, so your team spends less time covering gaps and more time winning contracts. Cut admin, make faster calls and know what needs attention today, from any device.

Platform

One record, eight features. Log something once and it is already on the dashboard, the roster and the client report. No copying between systems, no version that is slightly out of date.

Run every site from one screen. Sites, rosters and attendance share a record, so a cover change shows up everywhere it matters without being typed twice.

Sites

A live register of every site you are contracted to cover.

  • Site profile, client, and the post requirements that apply to it
  • Switch between an all-sites view and a single site history
  • Role-based visibility, so officers only see the sites they work

Rostering

Build shift rosters without a spreadsheet.

  • Drag-and-drop shift editing with bulk shift patterns
  • Permission-gated editing for supervisors and contract managers
  • Relief and sub-contracted officers tracked alongside permanent staff

Attendance

Who booked on, who did not, and who covered.

  • Book-on and book-off recorded against the rostered shift
  • Late starts and no-shows surfaced while there is still time to cover
  • Worked hours kept against the same record payroll is built from

Nobody on shift without a valid licence. SIA licences, screening and training tracked against each officer, with the alert raised before the expiry, not after.

Officers

One profile per officer, not six spreadsheets.

  • Personal details, right-to-work evidence and contract history together
  • Site assignments and current status visible at a glance
  • Sensitive records restricted to the roles that need them

Licences & Screening

SIA licences and vetting, tracked before they expire.

  • SIA licence number, sector and expiry held against each officer
  • Alerts raised well before a licence lapses, not after
  • Screening and vetting evidence kept in one place for audit

Training

Certificates and refreshers, with the dates that matter.

  • Training records held against the officer, not a filing cabinet
  • Refresher dates tracked automatically with advance warning
  • Gaps visible per site, so you know who can work which post

The client report writes itself. Incidents and client reporting built from what officers already entered on shift — nothing re-keyed for the monthly review.

Incidents

Incident reports handled properly, from first log to close-out.

  • Structured capture on shift, while the detail is still fresh
  • Photos, statements and outcomes attached to a single record
  • Trends surfaced so a recurring problem at one site is not missed

Client Reporting

What the contract asks for, ready to send.

  • Cover, attendance and incident roll-ups per client and per site
  • Filter by site, date range or incident type in seconds
  • Built from what officers already recorded — nothing re-keyed
Modules

One platform, one record. Each module is its own product and they all write to the same records, so nothing is typed twice.

  • Ops

    The contract: sites, assignments, licences, patrols and the records behind them.

  • PDA

    Forms built once and filled in on a handheld, out on the job.

Why switch

Stop running your contracts on six different systems. The gaps that cause lapsed licences, uncovered shifts and incident reports nobody can find — closed.

Today, without a system

Incident reports written on paper — until a client asks for one from six months ago

With SecureOptix

Incidents logged on shift, searchable in seconds, exportable for the client

Today, without a system

SIA licence expiry tracked in a spreadsheet — until an officer is rostered unlicensed

With SecureOptix

Licence expiry tracked automatically, with alerts weeks before it lapses

Today, without a system

No live view across sites — an uncovered shift surfaces when the client rings

With SecureOptix

One board shows every site's cover and open issues, right now

Today, without a system

Rosters rebuilt from scratch in a different spreadsheet every week

With SecureOptix

Rosters built once, with bulk shift patterns and role-based editing

Today, without a system

Screening files, training certificates and licence copies in different systems

With SecureOptix

Every record — vetting, training, licences — against one officer profile

How it works

From kick-off to live, in four steps. We handle the rollout so your team can focus on the shifts, not the setup.

  1. 01

    Try for free

    Start a 14-day trial with no card and no sales call. You are inside the real product, on your own tenant, in a couple of minutes.

  2. 02

    Configure

    Load your sites, officers, licences and shift patterns, so what you are trying is your operation rather than a sample one.

  3. 03

    Ask us anything

    We answer while the trial is running, not after you have signed. If something is missing we will tell you it is missing.

  4. 04

    Pay to keep it

    Add a card and everything you set up stays exactly as it is. Do nothing and it closes itself on day 14 — there is nothing to cancel.

Built the right way

Built around the rules you actually answer to. Designed around SIA licensing and the ACS standard, and the records an assessment actually asks to see.

Built for UK security regulation
Designed around SIA licensing and the screening standards the sector is audited on.
Audit-ready recordkeeping
Licence, screening and incident records structured around the evidence assessors ask for.
GDPR-conscious by design
Role-based access keeps officer vetting records need-to-know, not open to the whole team.
Role-based access, built in
From Security Officer to Operations Manager — permissions that match how contracts are actually run.

Questions

Before you ask, the honest answers. Pricing, data retention and what happens if you leave — the questions people actually ask before signing up.

Is SecureOptix workforce software, or compliance software?

Both, and the distinction matters less than it sounds. The day-to-day is running guarding contracts — sites, assignments, shifts, patrols and incidents. What makes it a compliance platform is that SIA licence and training expiry sit on the same record as the roster, so an officer whose licence lapses is a flag before the shift rather than a problem after it. If you are comparing it with a general workforce scheduling system, the honest difference is that we go deeper on licence assurance and incident evidence than on payroll and billing — the Service Specification sets out exactly what is and is not included.

How long do you keep our records?

For as long as your organisation needs — SecureOptix never automatically deletes records, and retention isn't tied to whether your subscription is active. As the data controller, your organisation is responsible for setting retention periods. Screening and vetting records are normally kept for a defined period after an officer leaves, and Approved Contractor Scheme assessments expect to see them — the applicable periods come from the current version of BS 7858, your own client contracts, and SIA guidance, so check those rather than relying on a default here.

Who owns the data we put into SecureOptix?

You do, outright — officer records, licence and screening files, incident reports, everything. We process it strictly on your instructions to run the platform, never use it for our own purposes, and never sell it. Full detail is in our Privacy Policy.

Is SecureOptix GDPR compliant?

SecureOptix is built around UK GDPR principles — encryption in transit, role-based access control, and appropriate safeguards for where data is hosted. Your organisation is the data controller and remains responsible for its own compliance; we act as processor under a data processing agreement. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture.

What happens to our data if we cancel?

You can export your records at any time while your account is active — officer records, incident reports and compliance records, all in a standard format. We'd encourage doing that before your subscription ends. See our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for the detail.

Can we cancel anytime?

Yes — subscriptions don't renew automatically. We'll contact you before your Subscription Term ends to arrange renewal, and you're free to decline. Because a Subscription Term gives full access from day one, fees already paid aren't refunded for cancelling partway through — see our Refund Policy for the full terms.

Is support included?

Yes, with an active licence. Email support is included at no extra cost for as long as your subscription is active.
