Shifts, patrols, keyholding, lone-worker checks, and client proof, for UK security companies.
NightWarden is software for UK security companies. Schedule shifts and run sheets, track SIA licence expiry, run lone-worker check-ins, and see patrol and keyholding activity as it happens, then give clients clear proof of what was done on their site.
Field staff use the NightWarden mobile app to clock in and out, complete site-specific run sheets, scan NFC checkpoints, raise lone worker check-ins, and submit incident reports — all with GPS timestamps and offline support. The app works without a signal and syncs automatically, keeping staff operational on construction sites, in basement car parks, and across rural properties. The manager app gives you a live view across all active sites, with automatic escalation of overdue check-ins and lone-worker alerts.
Clients get a branded portal to view live shift progress, download inspection reports, and raise queries — reducing admin and demonstrating the professionalism that wins contract renewals. Automated SIA licence verification, BS7858 screening tracking, and compliance reporting keep your business audit-ready at all times. The client portal carries your company's brand, not ours.
NightWarden is built for companies of all sizes — from smaller regional operators to larger providers managing multiple clients, sites, staff roles, service types and contracts. The platform handles unlimited client sites, patrol areas, multi-role shift assignments, and white-label branding so every client-facing touchpoint carries your company identity.
Shift scheduling, run sheet management, SIA compliance tracking, and mobile field operations for UK security guarding and door supervisor companies.
Manage keyholding contracts, alarm response dispatch, site key registers, and client reporting from one platform.
Configurable check-in schedules, real-time missed-check-in alerts, and automatic escalation for staff working alone.
NightWarden supports the full range of security work, including static guarding, door supervision, close protection, mobile patrols, alarm response, keyholding, vacant property inspections, K9 deployments, construction site security and event security.
Whether your staff work on fixed sites, mobile routes, reactive call-outs, events, customer premises or multi-site contracts, NightWarden gives you the tools to schedule teams, confirm attendance, issue site instructions, collect reports, monitor lone workers and give clients clear proof of service.
NightWarden supports planned scheduling and last-minute cover. Shifts can be assigned directly to staff, offered to selected individuals, broadcast by security type or role, or opened to all eligible staff on a first-come, first-served basis.
Staff can confirm or decline shifts from the field app. Accepted shifts are added to the schedule, while declined shifts can return to the unassigned pool for reassignment. This helps companies manage static guarding, mobile patrols, event cover, door supervision, close protection and alarm response without relying on phone calls and spreadsheets.
NightWarden is used by security companies and guarding providers across the UK to run their daily operations. The platform handles scheduling, client management, compliance, and field communications — replacing spreadsheets, phone calls, and disconnected tools with a single integrated system.
Companies operating in Southend-on-Sea, Leigh-on-Sea, Rayleigh, Rochford, Canvey Island, and across Essex use NightWarden to manage their keyholding contracts, mobile patrol routes, vacant property inspection schedules, door supervisor rosters, and construction site security operations. Every feature is designed around the realities of SIA-licensed security work and security workforce management in the UK.
From commercial keyholding and alarm response to mobile security patrols and vacant property monitoring, NightWarden supports every service type your company delivers. The platform integrates with Traccar for fleet tracking, supports NFC patrol checkpoints, and provides multi-channel alerting via push notifications, SMS, email, and Telegram.
Reporting is built in from the ground up. Shift reports, checkpoint scan logs, incident records, and compliance documents are all captured automatically and available to export — saving hours of admin every week and giving your clients the transparency they expect.
NightWarden was built around the realities of UK security work — from SIA licence requirements and BS7858 vetting records to lone worker legislation, client contract reporting, and multi-site workforce management. You get software that understands your business without needing to be configured from scratch.
The mobile field app works offline and syncs automatically, so your staff stay operational even without a signal — including on construction sites, in basement car parks, and across rural properties.

Managers see exactly what is happening across every active site without making a single phone call.
