Guard Operations

Make Every Shift More Relevant.

Heimdall connects schedules, assignments, routes, checkpoint tasks, field execution and outcomes so guard teams can direct resources where they matter most.

Customer Proof & Measured Outcomes

Predictive intelligence connected changing risk to more focused security deployment at a 1.7-million-square-foot commercial property.

60%

improvement in analyzed guard-force operating efficiency

60.7%

reduction in criminal, safety and behavior-related incidents over five months

Results reflect Davista analysis of real commercial-property deployment data. The efficiency measure describes output from existing guard resources in this deployment, not a verified reduction in spending. Results vary based on operating environment, reporting behavior, connected data and implementation scope.

From contract plan to continuous improvement

Run guard operations as one measurable cycle.

Executives see portfolio value, supervisors direct each shift and officers receive specific, risk-driven instructions in the field.

Beyond guard tracking

A tour should respond to risk instead of repeating yesterday’s route.

Traditional guard tours

  • Fixed routes and predictable schedules
  • Equal attention regardless of changing conditions
  • Completion reporting without operational context
  • Limited connection to incidents or outcomes

Heimdall risk-informed tours

  • Risk-weighted routes, timing and tasks
  • Randomized or overlapping coverage where appropriate
  • Verified activity, exceptions and documented response
  • Tour-to-incident and outcome analysis

For security end users

Connect spend to protection.

See coverage, exceptions, response and outcomes in one current view. Hold the service to measurable operating objectives.

For guarding companies

Deliver a differentiated service.

Use customer data and patrol evidence to improve deployment, demonstrate value and support stronger renewals.

Operational capabilities

Control the tour. Understand performance. Change the outcome.

Flexible tour design

Support checkpoint, zone, road, overlapping and randomized tours with calculated dwell times.

Checkpoint verification

Verify activity through QR, NFC, geofencing and supported indoor positioning.

Real-time exceptions

Flag timing, dwell, proximity, missed-checkpoint and geofence exceptions.

AI-assisted & manager tasking

Generate or assign checkpoint actions, inspections and response steps through approved automation or an authorized manager.

Performance auditing

Audit timing, stops, tasks, route efficiency, response and recurring exceptions.

Impact analysis

Compare coverage and intervention with incidents, risk and outcomes.

Best for: multi-site or intelligence-led operations

Operational outcomes

Make every patrol more purposeful and measurable.

High-risk coverage

Confirm the right risk was covered during the right operating window.

Verified execution

Measure routes, checkpoints, tasks and required follow-through.

Response & intervention

See how quickly alerts were acknowledged and documented action and follow-through occurred.

Route & schedule efficiency

Identify redundant activity that can be reduced or redirected.

Site & provider comparison

Compare locations, shifts and operating practices by outcome.

Clearer service value

Show what happened, what changed and what the service delivered.

Operational accountability

Trace the patrol from assignment to outcome.

Risk-informed tasking becomes a verifiable operating record: what was assigned, where attention was directed, what was observed, who responded and what changed.
