The work, in your words

Where Duress earns its place on a government shift.

Each scenario maps to a Duress product and to an outcome we can show in the audit log.

App ›
A community worker on a public housing doorstep.

Duress App on the phone they already carry. Slide to alert, live audio to operators, manager paged in parallel. No second device to explain to the tenant.
Falcon ›
A parking inspector after dark, alone.

Falcon on the wrist with Bluetooth-beacon indoor positioning in car parks, GPS outdoors. Fall detection auto-escalates if they're knocked to the ground.
Eagle ›
A field inspector covering 600 km of rural roads.

Eagle on 4G LTE with live breadcrumb to dispatch. SOS reaches an operator in seconds. BLE beacons provide indoor positioning on site.
Phoenix ›
A court support officer in a contested hearing.

Phoenix under the lanyard, silent activation when escalation rises. No alarm sound to inflame the room. Just a live operator, sheriff paged, and a recorded audit trail of the exchange.
App ›
A council compliance officer at a difficult inspection.

Slide-to-alert from the Duress App, live location and audio to operators. Council security and police dispatch routed through the existing internal escalation path before the officer needs to ask.
Pathfinder
Annual compliance audit, agency assurance report.

Pathfinder produces a full activation log: time, location, officer, audio, video, dispatch route, outcome. APS-style assurance evidence without manual reconstruction.

Regulatory framing

Maps to the acts your auditors quote in Australia.

Primary obligation

Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth) and state mirror legislation

Australian public-sector employers carry a primary duty of care under the WHS Act, with the additional procurement-grade obligations of the Information Security Manual (ISM), Privacy Act 1988, and agency-specific assurance frameworks. Duress is sovereign-built. Australian-owned, Australian-hosted, Australian operations centre. And runs in IRAP-aligned configurations where required.
