If awareness is safety, Vigilant is your most trusted line of defense.
Vigilant is your always-on safety companion. By combining real-time alerts, predictive AI, and field-tested training, we give you the tools to see danger before it happens—and act when it counts. From campus to corporate travel, Vigilant helps users avoid threats, respond fast, and stay in control.
Our Why
The Awareness Gap
The world isn’t just unpredictable—it’s increasingly fast-moving and complex. From a street-level incident near your office to a high-impact event halfway across the globe, threats today unfold in real time and without warning. But staying safe isn’t just about reacting—it’s about being aware before danger strikes.
At Vigilant, we close the gap between risk and response.
Most safety tools rely on outdated reporting or fragmented information. We don’t. Our AI-powered assistant maps real-time alerts, behavioral patterns, and environmental signals against your habits and locations—so you don’t just get notified, you get prepared.
Skip the confusion. Skip the delay. Go straight to action—with clarity.
Built for Real Life, Everywhere
Whether you’re on campus, commuting, or traveling abroad, Vigilant works in the background to surface relevant, real-time safety signals based on your context—not someone else’s. We don’t just monitor threats—we monitor what matters to you.
Backed by global threat feeds, expert-curated safety training, and enterprise-ready support, Vigilant is your always-on, always-relevant personal safety network.
