As the security landscape evolves, so too must the tools and processes that protect those working on the front lines. Aura’s latest feature demonstrates innovations that strengthen responder safety and operational oversight.
Aura UK has introduced Automatic Welfare Checks, a new in?app safety measure designed to support responders during prolonged callouts and provide control rooms with enhanced visibility.
Responder welfare is a core responsibility across the private security sector. Incidents can extend unexpectedly, and ensuring the wellbeing of the individuals attending them is critical for safe and effective operations.

While the update is small in function, it carries substantial value. Automated prompts reduce the risk of delayed welfare checks, support compliance with duty?of?care standards, and help ensure responders remain connected throughout longer deployments.
The introduction of Automatic Welfare Checks highlights how technology can reinforce the human element of security. By safeguarding responders — not just customers — Aura supports the wider industry mission to raise standards, improve safety practices, and ensure end?to?end protection across every stage of incident response.
