Questions buyers ask

Do you support security agencies based in Ireland?

Yes. Guard Patrol Pro is cloud software, so an agency in Ireland can register, add a site and print checkpoints the same day. There is no hardware to ship and nothing to install on a server.

Does Guard Patrol Pro help with Private Security Authority (PSA) requirements?

It gives you the records those requirements depend on. Guard Patrol Pro keeps a time-stamped, GPS-tagged and identity-verified log of every patrol round and every guard shift in Ireland, exportable per site and per date range. It is a record-keeping tool, not legal advice, so confirm your own licensing obligations with Private Security Authority (PSA).

Can one account cover multiple sites across Ireland?

Yes. Sites are organised under one agency account with their own checkpoints, rosters and client reports, and supervisors only see the sites assigned to them. Daily reports can go to each client separately while you keep a single consolidated view.

What happens where mobile data is weak?

Scans are recorded on the device and queued. When the phone regains a connection the queue syncs with its original timestamps and GPS positions intact, so a basement car park or a remote perimeter does not leave a gap in the patrol record.

Is there a free demo?

15-day free demo for 1 guard and 1 site, no card required. After the demo, plans are priced by site and guard count and can be billed in EUR.

Licensing and record-keeping

Private security in Ireland operates under the Private Security Services Act 2004, administered by the PSA. The PSA licenses both contractors and individual guards in Ireland, and licence renewal requires evidence of compliant operations. Many Irish contracts also require adherence to the PSA licensing standard for static guarding, which sets expectations for patrol recording and incident escalation.
