Swift Sentinel

The Challenge

Keep preparation connected.

Training providers, contractors, supervisors and managers all contribute to a prepared organisation. SwiftSentinel gives that work a shared structure, so you can see what is in place, what needs attention and who is responsible for the next action.

Do people meet the requirements of their roles?

Ensure core qualifications, role inductions and mandatory refresher learning are verified before staff and contractors step onto the concourse.

Have the agreed checks been completed?

Connect pre-event briefings and physical venue walk-throughs with digital checklists that log completion and timestamp compliance.

Have outstanding findings been addressed?

Turn post-event observations and audit findings into tracked follow-up actions with assigned owners and verified completion.

Statutory Context & Public Protection

Martyn's Law Context

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025—commonly known as Martyn's Law—aims to improve public safety by ensuring qualifying premises and events take proportionate steps to prepare for and respond to potential incidents.

SwiftSentinel is Martyn's Law risk assessment software that supports venues in organising staff training, conducting premises-level checks and maintaining clear documentation of operational procedures for Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act compliance. SwiftSentinel is a coordination framework and software tool; individual organisations retain full responsibility for fulfilling their statutory obligations under applicable legislation.
