How Guardix researches its guides and comparisons

Guardix guides and comparison pages are written by the Guardix team from primary sources: the state agency or law for licensing rules, each software company's own website for product facts, and Guardix's own product for how Guardix works. Every guide names its sources with links, says the day we checked them, and shows an Updated date when we change it.

This page explains how that works, so you can judge what you read and check it yourself.

Key points#

• Licensing and legal guides cite the state agency, statute or official fee schedule, with a link.
• Comparison pages use only each company's own website: product, pricing, help and FAQ pages. No review sites and no guesses.
• Every guide and comparison gives the day its facts were checked.
• When a fact changes, we correct the page and show an Updated date at the top.
• Guardix makes security guard management software, so read our comparisons knowing we are one of the products compared.

Where the facts come from#

State licensing guides. Requirements, training hours and fees come from the state body that issues the license, such as the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services or the Texas Department of Public Safety, and from the law or rule it applies. We link the agency's own page and fee schedule, and we quote the rule, not a summary of it from another site.

Comparison pages. On the comparison pages, statements about another product come from that company's website. Each one links to the page it comes from. When we cannot find something there, the page says "Not published". That means we could not find it, not that the product lacks it, so ask the company.

How Guardix works. Descriptions of the Guardix platform come from the product itself: the screens, settings and steps as they are in the web app and the phone app. We do not describe features that are not released.

Industry news. News posts name the company, agency or publication that reported the event and link to it.

How we date and update pages#

Each guide says when its sources were checked, such as "checked on November 11, 2026". Rules and prices change, so we review guides when an agency changes a rule or fee and when a company changes its pricing. A page we have changed shows "Updated" with the date next to the date it was first published, and the same date goes into the page's structured data for search engines.

Prices on comparison pages are the published prices on the day we checked. Ask each company for a written quote for your number of officers and sites.

What we do not do#

• We do not use review sites, forums or AI summaries as a source for a fact.
• We do not take payment to include or rank a product.
• We do not give legal advice. A licensing guide explains the published rules; for your own case, ask the state agency.

Tell us when something is out of date#

If you find a fact that is wrong or out of date, tell us through the support page with a link to the source. We check it and correct the page.

Frequently asked questions#

Who writes Guardix guides?#

The Guardix team writes them, using the primary sources named in each guide: state agencies and laws for licensing, each company's own website for comparisons, and the Guardix product for how Guardix works.

Are Guardix comparison pages fair to other products?#

Every statement about another product comes from that company's own website, with a link and the day we checked, so you can verify it. Guardix is one of the products compared, so check the linked pages and ask each company for a quote.

How often are guides updated?#

When a source changes, such as a new fee or training rule, we correct the guide and show an Updated date at the top of the page.
