Compliance on Paper Won’t Save Your Margins, Control Will.

Real-time assurance means every hour, licence, and rota is verified as it happens. Stop losing profit to hidden errors.

The Problem You’re Not Seeing
 

In security, what you don’t see costs you the most. Missed check calls, expired SIA licences, unverified book-ons. Each one erodes margins, undermines compliance, and chips away at client trust.

Are you running your operation with real-time assurance, or are you still guessing?

Why Real-Time Matters

Security hours are expensive. On average, a manned guard costs between £14 and £17 per hour when you include wages, NI, pensions, and overheads. Multiply that by hundreds of hours per week, and even a 5 percent error rate in timesheets or deployment costs you thousands every month.

Without real-time data, you only spot mistakes when payroll is already processed or when a client disputes an invoice. By then, the damage is done.

The Compliance to Assurance Chain

Being “compliant” is not enough. A file that is technically correct but not live is a liability. A rota that looks fine in Excel but misses a student hours restriction is non-compliant in reality.

Assurance is knowing in the moment that every officer on-site is:

• BS7858 vetted
• SIA licensed and valid
• On the right contract terms
• Where they are supposed to be

With Arez, this chain is monitored 24/7. AI-driven alerts flag anomalies instantly. You move from reactive fixes to proactive control.

Compliance that lives in real time.

Margins Won or Lost by the Minute

Margins in security are thin. A typical contract operates at a 5–7 percent net margin. That means a single payroll error, a missed licence renewal, or unbilled overtime can wipe out profitability for the month.

Think of it like Formula 1. You don’t win by simply finishing the race; you win by controlling every lap, pit stop, and tyre change with precision. Security operations are no different. Every shift, every check call, every rota adjustment counts.

Precision equals protection of margin.

The Arez Paradigm

Legacy systems show you yesterday’s data. Arez shows you now.

• Live Shift Assurance: Facial recognition and SIA checks at book-on, not after the fact.
• Automated Compliance: Expiry dates flagged before they become breaches.
• Financial Control: Payroll and invoicing tied to verified activity, not self-reported hours.
• Real-Time Dashboards: Control room, ops managers, and finance all see the same truth, instantly.

This is not reporting. This is an operational command.

Control is the Difference

Security margins don’t vanish because of one big mistake. They bleed away through small, hidden errors that go unnoticed until it is too late.

You can choose to keep relying on paperwork and after-the-fact reporting, hoping nothing slips through the cracks. Or you can take control, hour by hour, licence by licence, rota by rota. With Arez, every shift is verified, every risk is flagged, and every pound is accounted for. That is how you protect margin. That is how you deliver assurance that your clients can trust.

Compliance on paper is not enough. Control is.
