Never leave a post uncovered.
TalosGuardian connects security agencies and licensed guards across New York City to fill open shifts fast — with GPS-verified check-ins and automatic timesheets, so coverage never falls through the cracks.
A guard calls out. A post needs coverage — tonight.
Now someone's working the phones: texting the roster one by one, hoping somebody's free, hoping they answer in time. No visibility into who's actually available, no record of who said yes first, and a post that might go uncovered if nobody picks up.
How it works
From an open shift to verified coverage, without the back-and-forth.
Agencies describe the site, pay rate, and shift window in minutes.
The opening goes out to qualified guards on your own roster — first to accept, or your pick, locks it in.
Guards check in with GPS confirmation on arrival, and a clean timesheet is generated automatically.

Every guard provides their NYS Security Guard Registration Number and card photo at sign-up, which their hiring agency verifies against the state registry.
Arrival and departure are confirmed on-site, not self-reported.
Hours are generated straight from verified check-in/out data, ready for payroll export.
A strike system tracks reliability on both sides, with a fair appeal process for guards and reliability visibility for agencies.
Automatic rest-limit and overwork protections are built into every shift match.
Before TalosGuardian, I spent 5+ years as a security supervisor — enough time to know exactly what it feels like when a post is about to go uncovered and the clock is running out. I've made those calls, chased down last-minute replacements, and felt the pressure of a gap in coverage. TalosGuardian exists to solve that specific problem: getting a registered, verified guard into an open post fast, without the scramble.
