SIA-licensed manned guarding
Manned guarding
Trained, SIA-licensed security officers placed on your premises to deter, monitor and respond — across construction, commercial, industrial and residential sites UK-wide. Every shift is clocked in and GPS-verified, so the cover you pay for is the cover you can prove.
What we provide
Professional officers, accountable cover
Manned guarding puts a trained human presence exactly where it is needed — controlling access, deterring intrusion and theft, and responding to incidents as they happen. It is the most adaptable security solution we offer, scaling from a single static officer to a full multi-shift team.
What sets Tech Guarding apart is accountability. Officers don't just attend — they work every shift through the TechGuard app, clocking in, scanning patrol checkpoints and confirming welfare, while our 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) console keeps operations on the record.
- Static and relief security officers, day or night
- Access control, gatehouse and reception security
- Perimeter checks, locking-up and out-of-hours cover
- Incident response with photo and video evidence
- Single sites or UK-wide multi-site contracts

Tech-enabled
How technology makes our guarding accountable
Most guarding is invisible until something goes wrong. Our officers carry the tools to evidence the service as it happens.
Verified shifts
Clock-in and clock-out is recorded in the TechGuard app with time and location — no guesswork on attendance.
GPS patrol checks
Patrol checkpoints are confirmed by QR scan and GPS geofencing, proving the right places were covered at the right times.
Lone-worker welfare
Automated welfare check-ins keep solo officers safe, with missed checks escalated to our control room.
Audit-ready reporting
Incidents, patrols and welfare are logged with a timestamped trail you can rely on for insurers and stakeholders.

Vetted to BS 7858:2019
Every officer screened on the Hub
Before an officer sets foot on your site, they are onboarded and screened to the BS 7858:2019 standard through the Tech Guarding Hub — SIA licence verification, right-to-work, employment history, DBS coordination and sanctions screening — so you know exactly who is protecting your premises.
Manned guarding FAQs
Are your security guards SIA licensed?
Yes. Every officer holds a valid SIA licence and is screened to the BS 7858:2019 standard through our Hub platform before deployment, covering identity, right to work, employment history and criminal-record checks.
How do you prove that guards are actually on site and patrolling?
Officers clock in and out in the TechGuard app and verify patrol checkpoints with QR scans and GPS. Every action is time-stamped and location-stamped, so attendance and patrols are auditable rather than assumed.
How quickly can you deploy manned guarding?
Depending on the location, we can provide next-day deployment of SIA-licensed security officers, and contract changes can be applied the same day by our 24/7 operations team.
Do you provide guarding 24/7?
Yes. We provide round-the-clock manned guarding supported by our 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) console and automated lone-worker welfare checks.
