What is proof of service in security?

It is an organised record of security activity delivered against an assignment, such as visit details, patrol activity, notes, exceptions and supporting material where captured.

What should a security client portal show?

Show authorised, relevant records agreed for each site or contract. This may include service reports, incident updates and patrol information, subject to configured permissions and review.

Can a client portal replace an incident response process?

No. Urgent threats, safeguarding concerns, crime and emergencies still require your organisation's escalation and reporting procedures.

Does a patrol record prove every task was completed?

No. It can provide useful operational evidence, but quality and scope depend on the configured process and underlying data.

WFCControl

Client portal and proof of service

Give clients clear, verified visibility of every security visit

Security clients need a clear view of the work delivered at their site, without chasing for a report after the fact. WFC Control brings relevant patrol, incident and service records into a controlled workflow for review and sharing.

A service record can show configured checks and submitted information. It does not independently prove that every task was completed or replace client, emergency, legal or privacy processes.
