Questions buyers askbefore the demo.
Straight answers on scope, access, corrections, compliance, billing, and setup. If something here is not covered, contact us and we will answer it directly.
Fit
- Who is Bastrion for?
- Private security companies running manned guarding, static site, patrol, and event contracts, where shift reports and incident records are delivered to clients and need to survive review.
- How small an operation does this suit?
- It is built for companies holding multiple contracts with supervisors reviewing officer work. A single-guard operation will find it heavier than it needs.
Clients
- Can our clients log in?
- Yes. Each client organisation gets a portal account scoped to its own contracted sites, showing approved reports, released incidents, summaries, documents, and issued invoices.
- Can clients see internal review activity?
- No. Review notes, correction history, quality findings, and internal notifications never appear in the client portal.
Reporting
- Can reports be corrected after submission?
- Yes. A supervisor returns the report with a written reason, the officer corrects it, and both the original and the correction remain part of the record.
- Do incidents support attachments?
- Yes. Photos and supporting files attach to the incident or entry they belong to, with the officer and time recorded against them.
- Are reports structured or free text?
- Structured. Templates set the fields and required detail per site, so reports arrive complete instead of being chased the next morning.
Compliance
- Can we manage compliance items in the platform?
- Yes. Licences, permits, training, and onboarding stages are tracked per officer, with expiry reminders and a readiness view of who is deployable.
Commercial
- Do invoices and billing exist inside the platform?
- Yes. Plan details, seat counts, and invoice history with line items sit in the company workspace, and released invoices can be surfaced to client accounts.
- How does pricing scale?
- Reporting starts at $199 per month and Platform at $499 per month, scaling by active users, organisation size, or agreed operational volume. Enterprise terms are quoted against your contract book.
Automation
- Is the AI a chatbot?
- No. Quality review runs in the background against your own rules, flagging vague wording, timeline gaps, and missing detail to supervisors. Officers receive a normal correction, and clients only see the finished summary.
Getting started
- How does setup work?
- Setup is a deployment, not a wizard. You configure the company profile, sites, templates, team, client portals, and compliance rules, then a readiness checklist separates hard blockers from advisories before launch.
- How long does it take to go live?
- That depends on your site count and template complexity. Most of the work is agreeing what a report must contain; the configuration itself is quick once that is settled.
Support
How support reaches an operational team.
- In-platform support desk
- Administrators raise tickets from inside the workspace, with the affected record attached. Ticket history stays on the account so nothing depends on a single inbox.
- Operational escalation
- Issues that block reporting during a live shift are escalated on the same day. Escalation targets are set by plan and confirmed in the agreement.
- Before you are a customer
- Evaluation questions, security reviews, and procurement paperwork go through the contact page and are answered by a person, not a queue.
- Status and notices
- Planned maintenance and material platform changes are announced through the in-platform notice system ahead of time.
