Honest about limits · October 2026

What we don't ship

Procurement teams shortlist us partly for what we refuse to do. These limits convert better than any feature grid because they're verifiable and they make our roadmap auditable.

  • No Bluetooth beacon checkpoints

    On the roadmap. We prioritised digitally signed NFC tags instead: NTAG and standard formats, programmed from the app, and your existing NFC tags can be reused.

  • Man Down, facial verification and workforce management are still beta

    All three are in beta on the Business plan only. If you need them generally available today, a dedicated lone-worker or workforce platform is the safer pick.

  • No proprietary hardware or fixed readers

    By design: any phone works, however old or basic, so there is no hardware lock-in. If a contract mandates wall-mounted readers, you would source them elsewhere.

  • No customer data used to train cross-customer models

    Hard rule, not a toggle. Per-customer model isolation in S3 with checksum verification. Documented in our DPA Article 28 schedule and verifiable in our SOC 2 scope.

Roadmap targets are public and updated quarterly. If a target slips, we say so in the changelog at /changelog rather than burying it. Model cards for our AI features are published on guardtourai.com.

Built for security teams who can't afford to fail.

Three structural problems we hear from every field operations director — and what we did about them.

Paper logs that nobody trusts

Signed clipboards survive precisely until the audit asks where they were 6 months ago. No timestamps you can verify, no GPS, no photos, no chain of custody.

Dead zones that break your software

Hospital basements, data center white rooms, 220kV substations — the places where patrols matter most are exactly the places where most apps stop working.

Reports compiled on Monday morning

By the time someone keys yesterday's tours into a spreadsheet, the missed checkpoint, the broken door and the sleeping guard are 36 hours gone. Real time isn't a nice-to-have for security.

Everything a security team needs in one app.

Nine modules engineered for the operational reality of 24/7 security ops. No bolt-ons, no per-feature pricing.

Checkpoint verification

Scan QR, NFC or use GPS geofencing at every point. Digitally signed NFC tags resist cloning; program them from the app or reuse the NFC tags you already own. Every interaction logged with timestamp, location, controller ID and optional photo.

End-to-end offline mode

Scans, incidents, photos and GPS captured without connectivity. Auto-syncs with checksum integrity. 10,000+ events queued per device. See the dedicated guide on offline-first guard tour at /offline-guard-tour-software for the full operational model.

Real-time command center

Multi-site live map with controller positions, alert routing to the channels you use, and incident workflows with photo, video and escalation. AI chases missed clock-ins and check-ins and flags incorrect scans, incomplete routes and operational deviations.

Alerts your team actually reads

Native push to Slack, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp Business and email. SMS fallback for critical alerts on Business plan.

Audit-ready trail

Server-signed timestamps, exportable CSV / PDF / Excel, retention configurable per site. Built for HIPAA, NIST, NERC CIP and NIS2 audits.

100+ integrations and MCP

100+ integrations, including Milestone XProtect, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Genetec, Slack, Teams and WhatsApp Business. MCP access lets you run the account from Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. Webhooks for everything else.

AI agent in your chat tools

Answers and takes actions from WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack or Microsoft Teams, in any language, on every plan including free. Message +34 624 085 772 on WhatsApp or Telegram and the assistant creates and sets up your account with you (sites, checkpoints, guards, routes); in Slack or Teams your admin enables it.

Start on WhatsApp(opens WhatsApp in a new tab)

Attendance, visitors, client portal

Time and attendance, visitor management and a client portal for the end customer, in the same platform as patrols. Workforce management (scheduling, payroll prep, dispatch) is in beta on the Business plan.

Certified, deployable your way

SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and ENS certified. On-premise under a special contract, white label and a partner program. No proprietary hardware: any phone works, however old or basic.

Frequently asked questions

How is guardtour different from QR-Patrol or TrackTik?▼

Four structural differences. (1) Our AI agent works from WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack and Microsoft Teams: it answers questions and takes actions (missed rounds, suspicious scans, checkpoints, guards, routes), is included on the free plan, is on by default and replies in each user's language. To start, message +34 624 085 772 on WhatsApp or Telegram: the assistant creates and configures your account with you in the conversation. In Slack or Teams your admin enables it. QR-Patrol's assistant also acts on records, from its web app; both of us can also be run from AI clients over MCP. (2) We are the only one with end-to-end offline mode that survives multi-hour disconnects with server-signed timestamps. (3) We have a permanent free tier with unlimited guards — no major competitor matches this. (4) Our pricing is fully published. We are not the right pick for everyone — see the 'Compare' page for what we don't ship yet (BLE beacons) and what is still beta (Man Down, facial verification and workforce management, Business plan only).

Does it actually work offline? For how long?▼

Yes. The mobile app captures scans, incidents, photos and GPS without connectivity. Server-signed timestamps prevent tampering. Queue handles 10,000+ events per device. We've validated 8-hour shifts at 220kV substations with zero data loss. On sync, your audit log shows the actual scan time, not the upload time.

What about HIPAA, SOC 2 and ISO 27001?▼

SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, plus ENS (Spain's National Security Framework). HIPAA-ready architecture (AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, BAA available on Pro+). EU customers get GDPR-native architecture out of the box. On-premise deployment is available under a special contract. Compliance docs available under NDA for procurement teams.

Can I migrate from QR-Patrol, TrackTik or Silvertrac?▼

Yes. CSV importers for QR-Patrol and TrackTik exports. For Silvertrac and others, our onboarding team migrates sites, checkpoints, users and 12 months of historical data within 48–72 hours. No additional cost on Pro+ plans.

What devices are supported?▼

Android 8.0+ and iOS 14+, with no proprietary hardware: older and basic phones work too, so there is no hardware lock-in. We've validated common field devices: Samsung A-series, Galaxy XCover (rugged), iPhone SE, Pixel and CAT phones. App size: 28 MB Android / 32 MB iOS. Battery impact under 4% on a typical 4-hour shift.

Do you charge per site or per checkpoint?▼

Per checkpoint. Controllers (guards) are unlimited on every plan; sites are unlimited on Pro and Business, and the free tier includes 1 site. This is intentional: we want you to onboard every guard and site without a pricing cliff. Same pricing as patroltech.online/en/pricing.

Is the free tier really permanent?▼

Yes. Unlimited controllers (guards), 5 checkpoints, 1 site, unlimited time, unlimited tours. No credit card, no time limit. The trade-off vs paid plans: no API write access, community support only, no advanced integrations. We use freemium for adoption — paying customers fund the platform.

What integrations are available?▼

100+ integrations, including Milestone XProtect, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Genetec Security Center, Slack, Microsoft Teams and WhatsApp Business. MCP access lets you run the account from Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. Public REST API and webhooks for everything else. MDM partners: SOTI MobiControl and Samsung Knox.

Does it cover time and attendance, visitors and a client portal?▼

Yes. Time and attendance, visitor management and a client portal for the end customer are generally available in the same platform as patrols. Workforce management (shift scheduling, payroll prep, dispatch), Man Down and facial verification of the officer are in beta on the Business plan only.

Where is data hosted? What about residency?▼

Primary regions: AWS Frankfurt (eu-central-1) for EU customers, AWS Ohio (us-east-2) for North America. Data residency is configurable on Business plan. We never transfer data across regions without explicit consent. Detailed architecture in our security whitepaper (NDA-gated).

How fast can we go live?▼

Self-service: under 30 minutes from sign-up to first checkpoint scan. Assisted onboarding (Pro+): 24–48 hours including site import, controller training videos and integration setup. Enterprise (Business with SLA): 5-business-day rollout for 100+ controllers including SSO setup.
