Security Incident Documentation Features

Built for SIA door supervisors, event security, and security teams. Log incidents on shift, generate court-ready reports, and protect yourself when it matters.

Core Features

Voice Recording

Capture incident details on the door without stopping to type. Audio is encrypted, timestamped, and locked to the record — it can't be edited after submission.

  • Record on mobile or desktop
  • Automatic secure upload
  • Included in PDF evidence pack
  • Tamper-detected if modified

Photo Evidence

Attach photos directly to an incident record. Each image is hashed and tied to your cryptographic signature — so any alteration is detectable.

  • Multiple photos per incident
  • SHA-256 hash per image
  • Embedded in PDF report
  • Secure AWS S3 storage

GPS Location

Every incident is stamped with GPS coordinates at the moment of logging. Location data is locked into the record and shown on an embedded map in the PDF.

  • Automatic GPS capture
  • Accuracy metric recorded
  • Map embedded in PDF
  • Cannot be backdated

Cryptographic Proof

An HMAC-SHA256 signature is generated the moment an incident is submitted. It covers every field, photo, and audio file — any modification breaks it.

  • HMAC-SHA256 signatures
  • Tamper detection on every record
  • Verification certificate in PDF
  • Admissible as evidence

AI Quality Check

Before you submit, AI reviews your notes against the 5-part statement framework (Who, What, When, Where, How). It never rewrites your words — only flags gaps.

  • 5-part statement analysis
  • Completeness check
  • Objectivity review
  • PII redacted before processing

Court-Ready PDF Reports

Generate a professional PDF that includes your notes, photos, GPS map, audio, timestamps, and cryptographic verification certificate — ready for police, solicitors, or licensing hearings.

  • All evidence in one document
  • Verification certificate included
  • Branded with your organisation
  • Bulk export for Professional/Enterprise

Team & Operations

Mobile App

Log incidents on the door from your phone. Original Note is available on both iOS and Android with a fast, minimal interface designed for use in the moment.

Team Management

Manage your whole security team from one account. Role-based access means managers can review all records while operatives only see their own.

Full Audit Trail

Every login, action, and record change is logged. Complete audit trails support SIA compliance and protect you if a record is ever questioned.

Multi-Factor Authentication

Users can enable MFA in their account settings. A one-time code is sent to their email at each login, adding an extra layer of protection against unauthorised access.

Search & Filter

Find any incident record instantly by date, location, officer, or severity. Advanced filters make compliance reporting and legal disclosure straightforward.

Secure Cloud Storage

Records are encrypted at rest and in transit on AWS. Configurable retention policies from 365 days up to 10 years — meeting licensing and legal requirements.

WhatsApp Reporting

Share incident PDFs directly via WhatsApp to supervisors, clients, or the police — without leaving the app.
