Logging and Tracking Each site and/or post is issued with a log book used to record daily security activity. The log books are checked and notated daily and weekly by the site supervisor. All major occurrences are recorded in the log book and reported immediately. An incident report is also generated for significant or suspicious matters. SECUREcorp is also rolling out a mobility-based solution, which enables our staff to record and verify time and attendance and geo-aware data, as well as open, track, and close both regular and ad hoc tasks. Incident reports Customised Incident Reports are designed for each client to suit their business reporting needs. These Incident Reports (IRs) are generated where necessary detailing all the required information to record, report and action a given incident. These IRs are used as a basic reporting mechanism for monthly reports. SECUREcorp has also deployed the PPM 2000 web-based incident management and workflow solution. This gives us and our clients further actionable insights into incidents and investigations, including trend and statistical analysis and resolution tracking. 24-hour support - National Operations and Communications Centre (NOCC) Our security and cleaning teams are supported 24 hours a day by our National Operations and Communications Centre (NOCC).

ipatrol / Sentinel SECUREcorp is excited about this new product that will revolutionise security protection for homes and businesses. The system uses videofied motion detectors to record a 10-second clip when a motion detector is activated. The clip is sent, to the monitoring centre, where the operator can determine immediately whether there has been a genuine intrusion or if the activation is a false alarm. If the activation is a false alarm, a report is generated for the client, but no response is required. Where there is a genuine intrusion, the police will be called to attend because the intrusion can be verified. The videofied system has the potential to save clients significant costs from mobile patrols responding to false alarms. As an extension to ipatrol SECUREcorp has developed a wireless video security system that can be installed in situations which require a flexible positioning and temporary usage. Named Sentinel, this standalone tower has been designed specifically to cater for the requirements of construction and event sites where it is not possible to install fixed cameras. Our customers who have implemented the ipatrol and Sentinel systems have been amazed at the results and the cost savings achieved. 10 P a g e Reliability Integrity Results
