The problem
The industry problem.
Too many security companies cut corners on vetting because the process is broken - manual, slow, and easy to get wrong. The consequences are real.
Guards deployed without completed vetting
Risk to clients and the public. Every unvetted guard is a liability waiting to surface.
Employment history gaps ignored or missed
BS7858 requires a full 5-year employment history. Gaps that slip through become audit failures.
Reference chasing done on personal WhatsApp
No audit trail, no accountability, no way to prove what was requested or when.
Audit preparation takes weeks of manual file assembly
Ops teams buried in spreadsheets and folders, reconstructing records that should have been built as they went.
The solution
The GuardGate standard.
Doing it properly should be faster than doing it badly. GuardGate makes that possible.
Every guard fully vetted before their first shift
Structured onboarding paths ensure no one is deployed until every requirement is met and signed off.
5-year employment history verified with gap accountability
Gaps are flagged automatically and routed into a clear resolution step with a recorded outcome.
Every chase timestamped and auditable
WhatsApp and email follow-ups are logged against the guard's record. Every request, every response, every escalation.
Audit packs generated in one click
Complete BS7858-compliant evidence packs ready to export whenever an auditor, client, or regulator asks.
Meet candidates where they actually reply.
Guards live on their phones. GuardGate uses a dedicated AI employee to handle WhatsApp communication on your behalf - every message timestamped, every chase auditable.
The AI sends document requests, reference chase-ups, and reminders, all linked to the correct guard and the correct requirement. When something needs judgement, your team steps in with full context.
Candidates complete onboarding in the GuardGate app. WhatsApp handles the nudges and follow-ups, with every exchange captured back into the candidate record.
- AI-led WhatsApp communication tied to each onboarding requirement
- Automated reference chasing with escalation when needed
- Full conversation history stored in the guard's record
- Every message auditable - no more personal phone chasing
Every request, response, and follow-up is logged against the guard's record. Your evidence trail stays intact.
