Guard logbook

A paper logbook convinces only as far as it is believed. Here every entry is chained to its predecessor — later changes show up immediately, and whoever receives a report verifies it themselves.

Every feature

22 features, grouped by area of work. Every one of them exists in the product.

Recording on duty

  • Entries per property and shift

    Every event, observation and special occurrence — recorded and kept in a tamper-evident log. If a shift is running, its site is already filled in; security officers can record for it even without a permission of their own.

  • Entry templates

    Templates define, per site or for the whole organisation, what is asked when recording — severity, for instance. Fields can depend on conditions and mandatory fields cannot be skipped, which keeps the data analysable.

  • Photos & signatures

    Images and signatures belong to the entry and run through the same evidence chain as the text. The server strips location data from photos before storing them.

  • Record offline

    Entries and photos captured without a connection stay on the device and go out automatically once you are back online — visible in their own list.

  • Shift handover with receipt

    Open items, notes and the outgoing officer's signature; the incoming officer acknowledges. Open items from the previous shift are taken over with a tap, and an unacknowledged handover is reported after a period you set.

  • Linked to Guard control

    An entry can be linked to an incident or patrol at the same site — the cross-reference shows on both sides. Part of Logbook Pro.

Proof & verification

  • Unbroken evidence chain

    Every entry carries the fingerprint of its predecessor. Change something afterwards and the chain visibly breaks at exactly that point.

  • Corrections stay visible

    An entry is never overwritten. A correction creates a new version and the old one remains readable — the forensic view shows both.

  • Verify the chains

    At the press of a button the system recalculates whether the logbook is unchanged since recording — across three separate chains for entries, daily reports and handovers.

  • Define what counts as unusual

    When an entry counts as filed late, from what gap at a site it stands out and how far a device clock may run ahead. None of these thresholds blocks recording — whoever observes something on duty must be able to write it down.

  • Verification link for third parties

    A court, insurer or client verifies the integrity of the evidence chain themselves — via a time-limited, revocable link, without a Securo account and without seeing any content.

Reports for third parties

  • Daily activity reports

    All entries of one day at one property as a single report — with its own summary and its own evidence chain. The day follows your organisation's time zone, so a night shift lands in the right report.

  • The logbook as a full record

    A site's book with cover page and every duty day, plus log, daily report and handover record as PDF, CSV or Excel — in English too. Archived reports remain downloadable. Part of Logbook Pro.

  • Tailored to the recipient

    Anonymise security officers, leave out photos or print only the latest version of corrected entries — the book lists every omission on its notes page, so it is clear what is missing.

  • Verification page per report

    The QR code on the last page leads, without login, to a verification page: it checks that every entry in the report is unchanged and compares the PDF with the original in the browser. Anomalies appear only if you release them.

  • Entries in the customer portal

    Events, patrol notes and special occurrences appear in the client's customer portal straight away — only for their sites and only the types you release. The release shows how many entries arrive there.

  • Logbook in the site report

    In the Workforce site report, a section of its own puts the site's entries on the page — events and special occurrences by default, and only the latest version of corrected entries.

Privacy & retention

  • Access requests & deletion

    An Article 15 request bundles all entries, photos and processes concerning a person into a file you can hand over; deletion follows the same path.

  • Crypto-shredding

    Delete without breaking the chain: instead of overwriting the file, its key is destroyed. The content is gone, the chain stays intact.

  • Legal holds

    During litigation, an insurance claim or an inspection by the employers' liability insurance, a hold keeps the automatic deletion run away from the content — for the whole organisation, one site or one person.

  • Retention periods

    How long media, entries and the evidence trail are kept, whether handovers must be acknowledged and what makes an entry suspicious — set per organisation.

  • Everyone sees their own sites

    Optionally, a security officer reads only the logbooks of sites they worked at — scheduled there or recorded there themselves —, with an adjustable look-back. Useful as soon as you work for several clients.

Compliance built in

Chained evidence records with a verification page per report, crypto-shredding for GDPR Article 17, Article 15 access requests, legal holds against deletion, retention periods per organisation.
