Mobile Security Guard App
Most of your security workforce spend their days in the field—not behind a desk.
Downloadable to Apple and Android devices, or any smart device, the AccountAbility security guard app gives security officers everything they need right at their fingertips.
While the AccountAbility security officer app is uniquely Customizable to Your Needs, options include:

Information syncs in real time, so you and your customers always have the latest operational data and reports (with your approval, of course).
Digital Guard Tour System
Paper patrol logs lack pictures, are very difficult to audit, and are easy to lose.
The AccountAbility Guard Tour System digitizes patrol verification using QR codes or NFC tags, or virtual GPS checkpoints.
Each guard tour checkpoint submission automatically captures:
- Officer identity
- Date and time
- GPS location
- Status at checkpoint
- Notes
- Photos (optional)
The mobile security officer performing the guard tour, as well as the supervisors and managers, can see in real-time which checkpoints are missed, which were scanned, and how many times that checkpoint was scanned on this security officer tour. This function allows everyone involved to address issues before clients discover them.
The BEST Security Guard Management Software does not require binding contracts or set-up fees. DEMO or call (800) 688-9633 to see if this is the Best Guard Management Platform for you.
Knowing where your security officers are is essential for both accountability to your client and to your mobile security workforce. These related guard monitoring functions instill client confidence as well as confidence from the security guard that they are not alone.
If activated, the mobile app “Panic Button” allows mobile security officers to tap the button to send their data, including phone number and coordinates to anyone who should receive that data to check on them.
- Security Guard GPS Tracking for Customers
While it is between you and your customer how much data you pass along, this GPS tracking system provides your supervisors and managers with real-time visibility into field operations.
Managers can:
- Verify arrivals at job sites
- Confirm patrol completion
- Review historical movement
- Detect missed patrols
- Respond faster during emergencies
- Improve officer safety
GPS verification also provides documentation that helps demonstrate contract compliance to clients.
Geofencing
Geofencing security guards is easy with AccountAbility. You simply select the guard that you want geofenced, then save. Now, whenever that security officer, site supervisor or manager is at a customer site, reports and related incident Types, etc., will default to that location. And when they are dispatched to another site, the satellite automatically recognizes them there and relates reports to that location.
There is also a permission that top management can grant to override the geofence.
The Unique & Powerful “Community Watch App”
AccountAbility’s customer’s LOVE this feature! This is a neighborhood watch app and business crime watch system that you can give to your customers. Those customers to whom you grant access to the Community Watch App can then quickly notify your security team, with pictures and any info added, if they see a security concern.
NFC & QR Scanning as well as “Virtual Checkpoints”
The AccountAbility Security Officer Scanning App feature can be used for NFC tags, QR codes, or selected as a “virtual checkpoint” when inside the geofence. Unlike 90% of the security guard scanning systems out there, this scanning function allows pictures, speech-to-text with grammar and spell check, in supplies instructions if you choose; all making for a very attractive report for your customers.
Mobile Post Orders/ SOP Access
SOP/ Post Orders are available to your mobile workforce with the tap of a button. The Post Orders, uploaded by you, can contain maps, video links, etc.
Standard, advanced, and unique functions set the AccountAbility Security Guard Management Software apart from and above the rest. DEMO or call (800) 688-9633.
Timekeeping & Attendance

By automating time and attendance tracking you reduce administrative work while improving payroll and billing accuracy.

Our customers and their customers LOVE it.
Numerous other Security Reports including Custom Security Reports
This security Guard Management Software is the most customizable that we have encountered. And, with decades of security industry experience between us, we’ve seen a lot.

Visitor Management, incident Approval, Company Handbooks…your security officers will have access to the buttons and reports YOU need, even if we need to build you a new one from scratch!
Customer Facing “Reports Portal”
Today’s clients want transparency.
So, while scheduled emailed DAR are still preferred by some, your customers can also securely log into their “Reports Portal” view scans and activity from last month, or an Incident from last year, whenever they need it.
The Reports Portal can provide access to:
- Incident reports
- Patrol history
- Officer activity
- Site reports
- Daily activity reports

- Visitor Management
Providing clients with self-service access improves communication, frees you from calls because their email server started sending their DAR to spam, and helps strengthen long-term relationships.

The Command Center provides a real-time view of:
- Active officers

Security Officer In-app Messaging
Simply, In-app Messaging allows Manager and Supervisors to message security guards in the field, creating a large green alert that the user(s) have a message.
Managers can send messages to individuals, or to everyone, as would be the case for a BOLO or announcement to look at a new capability that has been enabled.
And, if optional two-way messaging is enabled, those mobile officers can send messages back.
Security Guard Site Metrics
Successful security companies use data-analysis.
Simple guard metrics, bar graphs and charts help management evaluate:
- Site activity
- Guard performance
- Incident frequency
- Incident times and locations
- Incident Heat Mapping
