A guard tour system verifies that security officers physically patrol required checkpoints on schedule, using RFID tags, NFC points, or QR codes scanned along a route. In data centers it confirms rounds through data halls, plant rooms, and the perimeter, timestamping each location for accountability. The recorded data provides audit evidence of patrol coverage and helps identify gaps or missed inspections.
