OnGuard is the all-in-one security workforce management platform. Real-time guard tracking, patrol management, PTT communications, incident response and PSIRA & SAPS compliance record-keeping — purpose-built for South African security companies.
OnGuard connects your managers, guards, sites and devices into a single live operational picture. From the control room to the field, every event, patrol and incident is captured, tracked and actioned in real time.
OnGuard covers the full operational lifecycle — from guard clock-in to incident close-out — without needing multiple systems or manual paperwork.
Real-time map showing every guard's exact location, status and activity across all your sites simultaneously. Panic alerts, geofence triggers and live incidents surface instantly.
Schedule automated patrol routes with NFC tag, QR code and GPS checkpoint verification. Guards follow step-by-step navigation on their device with photo and task evidence capture.
Push-to-talk voice channels per site, company-wide and direct to managers. All transmissions are recorded and stored for audit. Live video calls between managers and guard devices.
Guards report incidents with photos, video evidence and GPS coordinates directly from the device. Managers receive instant notifications and can escalate to disciplinary proceedings automatically.
Complete HR suite covering leave management, disciplinary proceedings, performance reviews, record-keeping, asset allocation and shift scheduling — all linked to your guards' PSIRA records.
An administrative tool to help you manage PSIRA and SAPS record-keeping — guard grade records, firearm issue/return registers, competency tracking and permit expiry notifications. Designed to assist your compliance processes, to be used alongside current laws and correct procedures.
See every guard, every site and every active incident in real time. Site ratings, patrol coverage, live alerts and guard locations update continuously — no refresh needed.

OnGuard isn't a basic check-in app. It's a full enterprise platform with the operational depth security companies actually need.
Push-to-talk channels per site, company-wide and direct. All transmissions automatically recorded and stored. Managers can initiate live video calls to any guard device and request remote snapshots — all over mobile data, no docking station.
Leave management, disciplinary proceedings, performance reviews, onboarding, offboarding, training records, asset allocation and payroll rate management. All guard data in one place, automatically linked to incidents and patrol performance.
Helps you record Section 20 permit details and check them on firearm issue, capture PSIRA grades and competencies, and maintain a daily firearm issue/return register with ammo records. Flags expiring permits with notifications and keeps a searchable historic record to support audits. It assists with record-keeping — it doesn't replace your legal and SAPS procedures.
Build patrol schedules with template pools, randomised route selection and time windows. Guards are notified automatically when a patrol is due. Missed patrols are escalated. Every checkpoint, waypoint and task is logged with timestamp and GPS proof.
Register NFC tags and BLE beacons at any location on-site. When a guard taps or passes, OnGuard logs the event, notifies managers and triggers automated actions — start a video recording, log attendance, open a gate. Geofence zones with drawable polygon boundaries automatically start and stop video recording when guards enter or exit defined areas.
OnGuard is an administrative tool designed to help South African security companies manage their PSIRA and SAPS record-keeping, expiry notifications and historic record lookups. It assists your compliance processes and is intended to be used together with current laws and correct procedures — it is not affiliated with PSIRA or SAPS.
OnGuard is an independent software product. It is not endorsed by, affiliated with, or an official system of PSIRA or the SAPS. It is a record-keeping and administrative aid that supplements — and does not replace — your own legal compliance obligations and procedures.
