Description
Affordable private security, on demand. XGuard is a platform for both clients and licensed security guards — schedule the kind of protection that fits your night, your event, or your property, and get peace of mind from a verified professional in minutes.
From a girls' night out to the club, to showings for high-status performers, to patrol routes for your locations and property, XGuard helps you protect what matters. Bookings can be short-term — a few hours of door coverage, a single-event detail, an overnight watch — or long-term standing assignments.
XGUARD IS A TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM, NOT A SECURITY COMPANY
We don't employ guards or provide protection services. XGuard is a marketplace that connects clients with independent, separately-licensed security professionals and agencies. All services are performed by those providers under their own credentials, insurance, and licensing — XGuard makes the connection, handles messaging and payment, and provides shift tools.
Available across the US, Australia, the UK, Canada, and New Zealand. Find a verified independent provider — usually in under 10 minutes.
WHY XGUARD

• Licenses checked against the issuing authority — BSIS, SLED, SIA, ACIC + 168 regulators
• Every booking documented, with real-time GPS tools for the provider
• Transparent flat platform fees — no surge pricing, no hidden markup

TOOLS THE PROVIDER USES ON SHIFT
Live GPS tracking with geofenced checkpoints, QR-code patrol tour reports, hold-to-fire SOS alerts, time-stamped incident logs with photo evidence, and offline mode that syncs automatically when reconnected.
FOR SECURITY PROFESSIONALS
Licensed guards, agency owners, and off-duty officers list services on the marketplace, set their own rates, get matched by license and region, and receive direct Stripe payouts. Build a reputation with verified reviews and use the Compliance Hub for renewals, CE tracking, and insurance. Tier up — Founding Pro, Verified Pro, Elite.
COMPLIANCE & SAFETY
Region-specific license validation across the US, AU, UK, CA, and NZ. Public liability and workers' compensation verification, ABN/ACN agency credentialing, Labour Hire Licence checks where required. Encrypted chat, location used only during active shifts, no background recording, full data export and deletion — GDPR & CCPA compliant.
PRICING
The app is free. Service rates are set by the independent provider; XGuard charges a transparent platform fee on each booking. Typical rates start around $35/hr unarmed and $55/hr armed (varies by region and credential tier). Payment is held when you confirm and released to the provider after the shift completes.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Tell us what you need to protect
2. Confirm your location and shift window — short-term or long-term
3. Review verified independent providers, rates, and reviews
4. Book — the provider you chose is on the way
IMPORTANT: XGuard, Inc. is a neutral technology platform, not a licensed security provider in any jurisdiction. All security services are performed exclusively by independent third-party professionals on the marketplace, who are solely responsible for their conduct, service quality, and legal compliance. Use is governed by our Terms of Service.

What's new (v1.3.5)
Pick how you get your verification code, plus a wave of polish across signup, agency dashboards, and shared profile links.
NEW
• Choose SMS or WhatsApp for your verification code — on signup and when adding a new phone. The picker remembers what works best for your country (China gets SMS only, Thailand defaults to WhatsApp, etc.) so the code actually arrives.
FIXED
• Tapping a shared profile link from outside the app now opens straight to that profile instead of bouncing you back to Home.
• Agency dashboard: the roster quick-link finally opens the roster (it was a dead button), and we removed the duplicate Jobs shortcut since it already lives in the bottom tab.
• Skill and certification badges always render in XGuard red — no more washed-out white squares on darker profiles.
• Guard onboarding: the "Skip for now" path on document upload actually skips, and uploads no longer get stuck when iOS doesn't tell us the file's MIME type.
• Sign up with a "+" in your email address again (e.g. you+work@gmail.com).
• Rating cards and agency pool tiles navigate when you tap them.
IMPROVED
• Cleaner agency command surface — shield, search, and dashboard tiles now share one consistent layout.
• Faster, more reliable verification SMS delivery in countries where Twilio's SMS reliability dropped (Brazil, Vietnam, Indonesia) — WhatsApp is now the default there.
Keep the reports coming — every Founding Pro bug we ship a fix for makes the next build better.
