Guardhouse Makes Its U.S. Debut at GSX 2025

‍Co-founders Jack Alpe and Julian Cartwright Champion Global Standards and Celebrate Excellence on the GSX Stage

The Guardhouse journey reached a major milestone this year with our official entry into the U.S. market, highlighted by our attendance at the Global Security Exchange (GSX) 2025 in New Orleans. The event was also a proof of the immense demand for a unified, modern workforce management system tailored for the American security industry.

Leading the charge were our co-founders, Jack Alpe and Julian Cartwright, who were on the ground to meet with security leaders and demonstrate how Guardhouse is engineered to meet their complex operational needs.

The Highlight: Championing OSPAs Standards

As a commitment to global excellence, Julian Cartwright participated in the Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) program.

During the event, Julian Cartwright presented the award for Outstanding Security Team. It was a confirmation that Guardhouse's core functionality is aligned with the global standards the OSPAs uphold:

• Credibility: Our platform ensures data integrity—from GPS tracking and digital timesheets to compliant payroll and invoicing—giving security leaders verifiable records they can trust.

• Transparency: We eliminate administrative fragmentation, providing clear, real-time reporting and audit trails for every operation.

• Excellence: Our end-to-end system empowers agencies to move beyond fragmented legacy tools, driving the superior performance necessary to succeed in a demanding market.

Why the U.S. Market Needs Guardhouse

After successfully expanding in the UK, we know that the U.S. security industry requires a platform built for both scale and stringent compliance. By offering a single, powerful system, Guardhouse is ready to address the need for greater accountability and operational control in America.

Thank you to everyone who visited us at Booth 3401 and shared their challenges. We are energised by the reception and excited to partner with U.S. security businesses to streamline their end-to-end workforce management systems.
