How it all works
Clear processes matter in critical moments. From initial setup through live use, our platform is designed to be simple, secure, and dependable, supporting confident action when it matters most.
Lockdown Ready
Using the system is simple and controlled. Authorised responders can log in securely from any device and access the tools they need without technical complexity. Select an incident type, choose who to notify, and send a lockdown alert instantly.
Easy Set Up
Getting started is straightforward. We handle the setup for you, ensuring your system is tailored to your organisation’s needs without any complex technical involvement. We’ll guide you through the available options and help you configure everything to your needs.
Step 1: Select an Incident Type
Authorised responders choose from a list of incident types that are set up in advance. This ensures alerts are clear and consistent, reducing uncertainty and supporting a coordinated response.
Step 2: Select Alert Recipients
Choose whether to alert specific staff groups or all contacts, depending on the situation. This allows messages to reach the right people quickly, without causing unnecessary confusion.
Step 3: Send the Lockdown Alert
With one action, the alert is sent instantly via secure channels to selected recipients. Staff receive clear information, enabling fast awareness, calm decision making, and a controlled response.
Regulatory Compliance
UK law requires many organisations to assess security risks and maintain documented emergency response plans. This includes preparing for intrusion and serious incident scenarios, and ensuring staff can be informed quickly and clearly when an incident occurs. Our platform supports these responsibilities by providing a secure, reliable way to communicate lockdown and incident alerts across an organisation.

Feature overview
Our features are designed to support clear decision making, controlled access, and reliable communication during critical incidents, helping organisations respond consistently, responsibly, and with confidence when it matters most.
Configure Incident Types
Set up incident scenarios from a predefined library, or create your own, tailored to your policies and requirements. Staff recognise the situation instantly, reducing confusion, and supporting a calm, coordinated response when time is limited.
Authorised Responder Controls
Assign who can raise a lockdown alert using Authorised Responder permissions. Limit access, encourage staff accountability, and ensure every alert is initiated with confidence, even during high pressure and time-critical situations.
Flexible Contact Management
Maintain accurate staff contact lists with bulk import, copy and paste, manual entry, or secure invite links. Keep details current across teams with minimal admin effort, so alerts reach the right people quickly when it really matters.
Multi Channel Alert Delivery
Send alerts across multiple channels including SMS, Email, WhatsApp, and Voice Calls. This improves reach, supports accessibility needs, and ensures all of your staff receive clear information with maximum deliverability.
Access From Any Device
Authorised responders can log in securely from any device with internet access, including mobile, tablet, or desktop. This supports rapid response action if staff are away from a desk, and keeps the response process consistent at all times.
Audit and Activity Logging
Every alert is logged automatically, who sent it, when it was sent, and which contacts were notified. This creates a clear audit trail for post incident reviews, governance, and continuous improvement of your incident procedures.
Guided User Experience
A simple, step by step flow guides authorised responders through selecting an incident, choosing recipients, and sending the alert easily. This reduces training time and helps ensure confident use for all staff during time critical events.
Targeted Alert Distribution
Send alerts to the right audience, choose a specific contact list group, or select all contacts. Targeted delivery keeps messages relevant, reduces disruption, and supports clearer action during sensitive incidents for all staff.
External System Integrations
Connect the platform to external systems and devices using secure network and API integrations. Alerts can trigger linked security systems, alarms, signal transmissions, or other connected tools, supporting a coordinated and automated response.
