Automations
Let the system handle the routine. You handle the decisions.
Automate repetitive operational workflows — from incident escalation and patrol alerts to report generation and compliance checks. Reduce manual work, eliminate human error, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
The Problem
Security operations are full of repetitive tasks that need to happen reliably: checking for missed patrols every 15 minutes, escalating unattended incidents, sending shift reminders, generating weekly reports, checking for expiring certifications. When these rely on human memory and manual effort, things get missed. And in security, missed things have consequences.
The GuardianHub Solution
GuardianHub Automations runs these workflows for you. Configurable rules trigger actions based on real-time events. Missed patrol checkpoint? System escalates. Incident severity high? System notifies. Certification expiring? System warns. Report due? System generates. Your team focuses on decisions and exceptions — the routine runs itself.
Key Capabilities
Event-Based Triggers
Configure automation rules that fire based on operational events — missed checkpoints, incident creation, shift changes, certification expiry.
Escalation Chains
Multi-step escalation: notification, then SMS, then phone call, then management alert. Configurable timing and recipients.
Scheduled Actions
Time-based automations — daily shift reminders, weekly report generation, monthly compliance checks. Set and forget.
Workflow Builder
Visual workflow builder for complex automations. Define conditions, actions, and branching logic without code.
Audit Trail
Every automation execution is logged. See what triggered, what actions were taken, and when — for compliance and debugging.
Pause & Resume
Pause individual automations during maintenance or exceptional circumstances. Resume when ready — no data lost.
How It Works
The operations director configures 3 automations: (1) If a patrol checkpoint is missed for more than 5 minutes, notify the guard. If still missed at 10 minutes, SMS the supervisor. (2) Every Monday at 07:00, generate weekly reports for all active sites and queue for review. (3) Every day at 06:00, check for certifications expiring within 30 days and email the compliance officer. These three automations eliminate approximately 5 hours of manual checking and follow-up every week.
Who Benefits
Operations Director
Design automations once. They run reliably forever. Free your team from repetitive monitoring tasks.
Control Room Staff
Focus on exceptions that need human judgment. The system handles routine checks and escalations automatically.
Compliance Officer
Never miss an expiry date again. Automated checks mean continuous compliance, not pre-audit panic.
Security & Privacy
Automations run server-side with authorised credentials. They cannot perform actions beyond the permissions of the configured service account. Automation rules are audited — changes are logged with actor identity and reason.
