SIA compliance support
Stronger patrol records for SIA-licensed security companies.
The Security Industry Authority (SIA) requires licensed security contractors to maintain professional standards across their operations. PatrolSync helps your company build the structured, verifiable patrol records and licence tracking that support those obligations.
Clear checkpoint records, timestamped patrol evidence, SIA licence expiry tracking, and professional client reports make it easier to demonstrate accountability — whether for your own internal standards, client contracts, or regulatory review.
Understanding the SIA
What the Security Industry Authority requires from licensed contractors.
Under the Private Security Industry Act 2001, all front-line security operatives working in the UK must hold a valid SIA licence for the activity they carry out — whether that is security guarding, door supervision, close protection, CCTV operation, or cash and valuables in transit.
Security companies are responsible for ensuring only SIA-licensed personnel are deployed on contracts at all times. Deploying an unlicensed operative is a criminal offence that can result in prosecution, fines, and reputational damage.
- Deploy only SIA-licensed operatives for licensable activities
- Verify each operative's licence before deployment
- Monitor licence expiry dates across the entire team
- Maintain records of guard licensing for audit purposes
- Operate to professional standards of service delivery
- Be able to demonstrate compliance on request
SIA licence types
PatrolSync supports all common SIA licence categories.
Each guard's SIA licence number, licence type, and expiry date can be recorded in PatrolSync. The compliance dashboard gives you a live view of which licences are current, expiring soon, or lapsed across your entire team.

How PatrolSync helps
Build the operational records that support your SIA obligations.
PatrolSync doesn't replace your SIA licence or internal procedures. But it gives your company the structured digital records that make it easier to demonstrate professional standards and accountability across your patrol operations.
Store each guard's SIA licence number, licence type, and expiry date. The compliance dashboard shows a traffic-light status — green for current, amber for expiring within 60 days, red for lapsed — so you can act before a licence becomes an issue.
Every patrol scan is recorded with the guard, site, checkpoint, and exact time — creating a verifiable audit trail of patrol activity that you can present to clients, auditors, or the SIA if needed.
Generate clear, professional activity reports with timestamps, checkpoint breakdowns, and independent verification — the kind of documentation that demonstrates professional standards and supports client confidence.
Every report carries a Verification ID and QR code so clients, contract managers, and auditors can independently confirm the report is genuine and unaltered at verify.patrolsync.app.
Optional GPS recording provides additional location evidence alongside checkpoint scans — strengthening your proof of attendance at patrol locations across UK sites.
Export staff compliance records covering SIA licence references and expiry dates — useful for internal audits, contract tenders, and demonstrating compliance on request.
Built for SIA-licensed security companies across the UK.
Whether you're running mobile patrols in London, static guarding in Manchester, keyholding across the Midlands, or alarm response in Scotland — PatrolSync helps you maintain professional operational and compliance records across every site.
Important note
PatrolSync is an operational tool that supports patrol recording, reporting, and licence reference tracking. It does not replace your company's SIA licence, internal compliance procedures, or legal and regulatory responsibilities under the Private Security Industry Act 2001.
UK security companies should continue to verify SIA licence validity directly with the SIA, operate in line with all applicable legislation, and maintain their own internal compliance processes. PatrolSync stores reference information — the company remains responsible for acting on it.
