Guard1 is a security operations platform for commercial security teams, corrections, healthcare, government and other organizations that need documented patrols and operational checks. It records electronic proof-of-presence through The PIPE checkpoint reader or mobile RFID devices, identifies guards or officers at the start of patrols, and captures incidents and observations. The platform supports web, Windows and Android, with mobile RFID task lists and digital logbooks for patrol workflows.

Its strongest fit is for organizations that need reporting and deployment flexibility. Guard1 produces patrol, exception, activity, client-facing and management reports, with export formats for operational follow-up. Rounds Tracker helps teams view multiple tours and identify missed or late visits, while Rules & Advanced Reporting adds exception management and professional reports. Integrations include jail management systems, electronic health record systems, Azure AD and SAML-based identity providers. These capabilities make Guard1 relevant where patrol records must connect with broader operational or identity systems.

The product line spans EasyTour Software, Guard1 Plus Basic Edition, Guard1 Plus Keypad Module, Guard1 Plus Professional Edition, Rounds Tracker, Rules & Advanced Reporting, EasyTour System with The PIPE and Guard1 Plus Mini System, which includes 50 checkpoints. The published starting price is 99, and the listed amounts are treated as one-time purchases rather than subscriptions. Guard1 should suit teams prioritizing checkpoint accountability, offline capture and cloud or on-premises deployment. Organizations seeking a simpler software-only workflow, or whose requirements center on capabilities outside documented patrols, incidents, reporting and checkpoint-based operations, may prefer a narrower alternative.
