What Guard does
Real-time monitoring
Stay informed of security events as they happen. Guard delivers instant visibility across your property or business from any device, anywhere.
Access control
Manage who enters your premises. Track staff arrivals, visitor check-ins, and contractor access — all logged and timestamped.
Incident alerts & reporting
Log incidents immediately when they happen. Generate clear, time-stamped reports for insurance, management, or SAPS purposes.
Built for South Africa
Guard is designed around the realities of South African security — load shedding, variable connectivity, and the specific reporting needs of local businesses and estates.
Who Guard is for
Guard is built for anyone responsible for security at a South African property or business. Whether you manage a single site or multiple locations, Guard gives you the visibility and paper trail you need without expensive enterprise software.
It's ideal for property owners and landlords who need to track access and incidents, business owners managing staff access and after-hours security, security companies logging guard patrols and shift handovers, body corporates and estate managers overseeing access to residential complexes, and school and facility administrators tracking visitor access and incidents.
Why South African security needs a dedicated app
South Africa's security landscape is unique. High crime rates, diverse site types, and the need for rapid incident documentation mean that paper-based logbooks and WhatsApp groups simply don't cut it. Yet enterprise-grade security software is priced out of reach for most small and medium businesses.
Guard fills that gap — a professional, mobile-first tool that works even when load shedding hits or data is scarce, because it's built as a Progressive Web App with offline capability. No licence fees, no hardware requirements, no installation.
