SIA compliance management software
Track SIA licence status and reduce compliance blind spots
GuardOnIQ gives UK security directors a continuous, structural view of SIA compliance — licence expiry visibility, deployment blocks and audit-ready records across the whole workforce.
SIA compliance is a board-level risk run on spreadsheets
An expired SIA licence is not a paperwork issue. It is a director-level compliance failure that can cost contracts, attract regulatory attention and undermine the firm's standing on tenders. Yet many UK security companies still track licences in shared spreadsheets that nobody owns and nobody reviews until something goes wrong.
- Licences that quietly expire mid-deployment
- No proactive view of who is at risk in the next 30, 60 or 90 days
- Last-minute panics before client audits
- Operatives deployed on contracts they are not cleared for
- Compliance evidence scattered across folders and inboxes
- Personal liability for directors when something slips
How GuardOnIQ helps
Continuous SIA visibility, with structural deployment blocks
Hold every operative's SIA details on a single profile and let GuardOnIQ do the watching. Upcoming expiries surface as live exceptions on the admin view. Assignment logic excludes operatives whose licence is missing, the wrong category or expiring before the shift end. Clock-in is re-checked at the moment of arrival, so a licence that has lapsed since assignment never makes it onto site.
What you get
SIA licence records
Number, category, issue and expiry dates plus uploaded documents — one source of truth per operative.
Expiry visibility
30, 60 and 90-day views of upcoming expiries so renewals are scheduled, not scrambled.
Expiring and expired flags
Live exceptions on the admin dashboard mean compliance gaps cannot hide in a long list.
Assignment-time checks
Operatives with lapsed or wrong-category licences are excluded from shift matching automatically.
Clock-in re-verification
Licence validity is re-checked at the point of check-in to catch licences that lapse between assignment and arrival.
Compliance alerts
Surface upcoming expiries to the right people before they become a deployment risk.
Audit-ready records
Point-in-time compliance views for client reviews, ACS-style audits and tender responses.
Wider clearance tracking
The same structure supports right-to-work, training certificates and contract-specific clearances.
UK security use case
Protecting an ACS-rated firm at contract renewal
An ACS-rated UK manned guarding firm is preparing for a major retail contract renewal. The compliance lead opens the GuardOnIQ admin view, filters by the contract's sites, and immediately sees three operatives with SIA licences expiring inside 60 days. They schedule renewals before the audit window opens. During the client review meeting, the compliance lead exports a point-in-time SIA report showing 100% valid licences across the deployed workforce — without rebuilding it from a spreadsheet the night before.

- Stop expired-licence deployments before they happen
- Move from reactive renewals to a planned compliance pipeline
- Walk into client audits with point-in-time evidence
