Running a security company means juggling shifts, compliance deadlines, payroll, subcontractors, and client expectations — all at once. BOOK ON replaces disconnected tools and manual processes with a single, purpose-built platform that gives you full visibility and control from day one. Whether you operate a specialist close protection firm or one of the UK’s largest security contractors managing thousands of licensed officers across hundreds of client sites, BOOK ON scales with the full complexity of your operation. Reduce compliance risk, cut administrative hours, protect your margins, and give your clients the real-time transparency they demand.
Manage your security operations effortlessly, anytime and anywhere. Streamline mobile reporting, track incidents in real-time, and receive instant updates to keep your team connected and operations running smoothly
The SIA Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) requires security companies to meet BS7858 vetting standards, maintain comprehensive compliance records, and demonstrate full operational control across their workforce. BOOK ON builds every one of these requirements directly into the platform — so audit preparation is never a last-minute scramble. Your compliance file is always current, always complete, and always ready.
The Security Industry Authority reports over 460,000 active SIA licence holders across the UK — and that number grows every year. Every one of those individuals needs their licence tracked, their vetting records maintained, and their shifts documented against a compliant operational framework. BOOK ON handles all of this automatically, with real-time licence validation, instant revocation alerts, and a complete digital audit trail for every officer on your books.

Security guard management software is a digital platform built specifically for security companies. It handles guard scheduling, SIA licence verification, GPS patrol tracking, incident reporting, timesheets, payroll, and client reporting from one central system. It replaces manual spreadsheets, paper logs, and disconnected apps that create compliance risk and admin overload.
Yes. BOOK ON Solutions is based in Basildon, Essex, and built from the ground up for the UK security industry. The platform handles SIA licence checks, BS7858 vetting compliance, right-to-work verification, and all reporting requirements specific to UK security operations and the SIA Approved Contractor Scheme.
An SIA licence is issued by the Security Industry Authority and is legally required for anyone carrying out licensed security activities in the UK, including security guarding, door supervision, CCTV operation, and close protection. As of January 2026, there are over 460,000 active licence holders in the UK. Deploying a guard whose licence has expired is a criminal offence under the Private Security Industry Act 2001. BOOK ON runs automated daily checks on every guard's SIA licence and alerts you before expiry — so you never put an unlicensed guard on a shift.
BS7858 is the British Standard for security screening of individuals working in security roles. It sets out the vetting requirements for identity verification, five-year employment history, financial checks, criminal records, and right-to-work status. The SIA requires ACS-accredited contractors to meet BS7858 standards. BOOK ON stores and manages BS7858 vetting records digitally for every guard, making ACS audits straightforward.
Yes. The BOOK ON mobile app is available on both iOS and Android. Guards use it to clock in with Face ID, receive shift instructions and post orders, complete patrol checkpoints with GPS verification, submit incident reports with photos, and request leave. It works on any smartphone and requires no specialist hardware.
Most UK security companies are fully operational on BOOK ON within a few days. Our onboarding team, based in Basildon, Essex, supports you through setup from the first call. There is no lengthy implementation process and no specialist IT knowledge required.
