Modernising security operations from the ground up.
AutoGuard exists because security is no longer a clipboard, a radio and a stack of occurrence books. We are building the operational system that the modern security industry needs — accountable, auditable, and built around the work that actually happens on the ground.
Built from inside the security industry — not for it.
AutoGuard was founded out of years of frustration watching security operations run on paper occurrence books, WhatsApp groups and disconnected spreadsheets — while the rest of the workforce world moved on.
Our founders, working alongside South African security operators, identified the same problems across every type of guarding business: invisible shifts, missing patrols, slow incident reporting, fragmented compliance, and no operational truth between management and the field.
We built AutoGuard to fix that — a single platform that unifies workforce, field operations and compliance, and gives operators the same level of operational intelligence that logistics and fleet companies have had for years.
Today, AutoGuard is the operational backbone for security companies serious about accountability, client transparency, and scaling without losing control of their operations.
Our mission
To make every security operation in South Africa — and beyond — fully auditable, accountable and digitally connected, regardless of size. From a single contract to a national workforce.
Our vision
A connected security industry where every guard, vehicle, incident and shift is visible in real-time — and where control rooms and clients share one operational truth.
What we hold ourselves to
The principles that shape how we build the platform — and how we work with the security operators who run on it every day.
Operational Truth
If it didn't get logged in AutoGuard, it didn't happen. We design every feature around verifiable, auditable reality.
Continuous Innovation
Security operations are evolving. We ship monthly so our customers stay ahead of the work.
Customer Partnership
Our roadmap is built side-by-side with the security operators who run on AutoGuard.
Excellence as Standard
Enterprise-grade quality at every level — code, support, security and reliability.
Built for security — not adapted to it.
Most workforce platforms try to retrofit security operations onto generic tools. AutoGuard was designed around the actual workflows of guarding, armed response and control rooms from day one.
Built for the full stack
Workforce, field ops, incidents, fleet and compliance — not just rosters and timesheets.
Real-time by default
Live shift status, live SOS, live patrol traces. Operations can't wait for a daily report.
ISO 27001 — certification in progress
Built to the ISO 27001 information-security framework. Role-based access, full audit trails, encrypted at rest and in transit.
Field-first mobile app
Designed for guards on shift — fast, offline-capable, low data, with one-tap SOS.
Scales with you
Three sites or three hundred. The same platform, the same workflows, no rebuild.
South African–first
Built around PSIRA and the realities of the local security industry.
