Four categories. Each with its own bar to clear.
A gate guard and an armed PSO are not the same hire, so we don’t verify them the same way. The heavier the responsibility, the more paperwork a provider has to satisfy before they appear in your search results.

How it works
Every screen between search and payment.
These are the client app’s own screens, in the order you meet them. A booking is priced before it is placed, and it does not move past the two disclaimer screens until you have read and ticked both.
Step 01
Find a verified provider
Filter by city and service. Every listing carries the rating, the day and hourly rate, and the badges that provider has actually cleared.
Step 02
Read the whole profile
Completed bookings, rating, years served and the credentials behind them — PSARA, ex-serviceman, elite protection — before you commit to anything.
Step 03
Say what the duty is for
Political, wedding, corporate, celebrity, industrial or building duty. The purpose is what decides whether this provider is the right match at all.
Step 04
Set the date, hours and site
When the duty starts, how long it runs, where, and whether a vehicle comes with it. The price itemises as you go — base, fee, night surcharge, GST.
Step 05
Acknowledge the risk
Security work carries risk the platform cannot guarantee against. That is stated on its own screen, and it has to be ticked before anything proceeds.
Step 06
See what we do not control
The platform does not supervise personnel on site or make operational decisions for them. Continue stays greyed out until this is read and ticked.
Step 07
Confirm on the record
The summary, the independent-contractor position stated plainly, and your confirmation logged against the booking — all before any money moves.
Step 08
Pay once, itemised
Provider charge, platform fee and GST, each on its own line. SecureCoins, points and coupons come off the top. The total is the total.
The duty log
One booking, proven at every state.
Requesting and paying happen on the screens above. From there the duty runs on proof — a provider accepts it, a code opens and closes the shift, and both sides rate each other. Nothing skips a step, and nothing is marked done without a record.
Accepted
A provider takes it, or says why not
The booking moves to live, awaiting or pay-now in your list. No silent expiry, and no waiting to find out where you stand.
Started & ended
A code opens and closes the shift
Six digits on your phone. You read them out on arrival, they enter them — that is the attendance record, and it releases the first 30%. The same again at the end, which closes the duty and schedules the remaining 70%.
Rated
Both sides rate each other
Punctuality and professionalism, scored separately, with tags for what went well and what did not. Reputation follows the account into the next booking.
Trust badges
Badges are earned, never self-declared.
Every badge below is computed from documents a 20fourr admin has reviewed and approved. A provider cannot switch one on for themselves, and a badge disappears automatically the moment the underlying document expires or is revoked.
- Verified means verified.
- Checked before they’re listed.
- We check the papers, not just the profile.
Verified identity
Government photo ID checked against the person or entity applying, and approved by our compliance team.
Checked by compliance team · at onboarding
Background verified
Police verification on file and read by an admin before the provider is allowed to appear in search results.
Checked by admin review · before listing
PSARA verified
Holds a current licence under the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005, with expiry tracked on a rolling basis.
Checked by compliance team · re-checked on expiry
Firearms authorised
Holds a valid individual weapon licence, verified separately from the agency licence. Required for any armed booking.
Checked independently · per officer
Ex-serviceman
Discharge or retirement certificate from the armed forces or police on file and verified.
Checked by compliance team · document-backed
Top rated
Averages 4.5 or higher across at least five completed bookings. It cannot be bought, and it is removed automatically if the average drops.
Computed from client ratings · live
Elite protection
Our highest verification tier, reserved for close-protection specialists who clear every check above plus an assignment history review.
Highest tier · manual approval
No badge shown
If a badge is absent, that check has not been cleared. We show what has been verified rather than implying everything has.
Absence is information, not an oversight
Know the price. Then decide.
Compare ratings. Pick your agency or individuals. Set your dates. See just the price — in seconds.
Compare security agenciesTrust & compliance
The rules are in the software, not in a policy document.
A promise you have to enforce by hand is not a protection. These are constraints the platform applies on every single booking, whether or not anyone is watching.
Numbers stay hidden until you pay
A provider cannot see your address and you cannot see their number until the booking is paid. It keeps deals on the platform — which is what keeps the licence checks, the insurance trail and the dispute route intact.
They arrive knowing what they’re walking into
If you’ve been threatened or attacked before, you record it once in your profile. It’s released to the assigned provider after payment only — late enough to protect you, early enough for them to prepare.
KYC reviewed by a person
Documents are uploaded, then approved or rejected with a written reason by our compliance team. Unverified providers cannot accept a single booking. Gunmen need a current firearm licence on top.
Refunds on a published clock
Cancel more than 24 hours out and 90% comes back to your wallet. Between 12 and 24 hours, 50%. Inside 12 hours, nothing — because by then the guard has already turned down other work.
A ticket, an owner, an outcome
Raise a dispute and it becomes a tracked ticket with an assigned reviewer, a full chat record, and a resolution type — refund, credit, replacement or penalty. Not an inbox.
Both directions
You rate the guard on professionalism, punctuality, communication and compliance. They rate you too. Ratings follow the account, so repeat behaviour is visible before anyone accepts.
Read this before you book
What verification does not mean.
Being straight about the limits is part of being trustworthy. Verification is a check on documents and history — it is not a guarantee of future conduct, and no platform can honestly claim otherwise.
Who performs the duty
20fourr is a technology platform
The security services themselves are performed by independent, PSARA-licensed agencies and their personnel, and responsibility for their conduct on duty sits with them.
Emergencies
We are not an emergency service
In an emergency, contact the police on 112 first, then raise an incident on your booking so the record, the agency and our compliance team stay aligned.
What a badge proves
A document was checked on a date
A verified badge does not predict behaviour. Ratings, check-in records and the incident process exist precisely because paperwork alone is not enough.
Report a concern · PSARA compliance
If something is wrong, there is one route.
An officer who did not report, conduct you are unhappy with, or a document you believe is not genuine — raise it against the booking. It reaches our compliance team and the agency at the same time, with the booking record attached.
Falsified
Falsified documents result in immediate and permanent removal from the platform.
Delisting
Repeated no-shows or persistently poor ratings lead to delisting.
Evidence
Check-in and check-out are recorded against the shift you paid for, so attendance is evidence rather than opinion.
PSARA 2005
The Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005 governs who may lawfully supply private security personnel in India.
Pre-listing
20fourr verifies each provider’s PSARA licence before listing them, and re-checks expiry on a rolling basis.
On lapse
When a licence lapses, the provider is blocked from search and from accepting new bookings automatically — not at an admin’s discretion — until the renewed licence is verified.
