Near Cleveland, Ohio, United States
What it is
Guard1 Real Time provides facility management with live information, alerts, tasks, and activity histories. It records events such as cell and well-being checks, suicide watches, meals, medication, handouts, and movement within or outside a facility. Alerts require acknowledgement and remain active until they are both resolved and acknowledged. The software is available as a hosted service or an on-premise installation, and offers one-way and two-way links with jail, offender, and records management systems. Named integration examples include ADSi, GTL, JailTracker, NetData, Offender360, Securus, and Superion. Guard1 says it encrypts information at rest and in transit and holds SOC 2 Type 2 certification; its security page also states HIPAA compliance. Access options include role-based controls, Azure AD and SAML single sign-on, and multi-factor authentication through identity federation. Guard1 lists Android, web, and Windows platforms. Prices range from EasyTour Software at $99, paid once to Guard1 Real Time Base Software at $9,995, paid once, with other software, device, and system options available. Guard1 has no free plan, but offers a trial.
