What VenueLinQ Does (and Doesn't Do)

We're honest about what software can and can't solve

VenueLinQ Handles This

  • Terrorism evaluation templates with guided completion
  • Procedure creation wizards (evacuation, lockdown, invacuation)
  • Staff training records with acknowledgement tracking
  • Policy version control and approval workflows
  • Compliance scoring and gap identification
  • Evidence pack generation for inspections
  • Incident logging with full audit trails

You Still Need To

  • Actually conduct the terrorism evaluation
  • Train your staff in person (we provide the framework)
  • Install any required physical security measures
  • Register with the regulator when required
  • Make judgement calls on what's "reasonably practicable"
  • Seek professional security advice for complex situations
