Securus Monitoring

What Securus Monitoring does

Securus Monitoring, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aventiv Technologies (legal entity Securus Technologies, LLC), provides electronic monitoring hardware, software and managed services for community supervision programs across the United States. Founded around 2003-2004 and headquartered in Houston, the company serves nearly 1,000 government and non-government parole, probation, pre-trial and court agencies nationwide. Core products include BLUtag® one-piece GPS ankle devices, BLUhome®/BLUband® RF receivers with GPS, SoberTrack™ remote alcohol testing with facial recognition, VeriTracks® as the central web-based management platform, ENROLLINK as the enrollee-facing smartphone application, and Solutions+ for outsourced 24/7/365 monitoring and case management. Underlying technology emphasizes dual-carrier cellular coverage, anti-jamming and tamper detection on hardware, with cloud-based analytics aggregating location, RF and biometric compliance data for supervising officers.

The business model combines three revenue streams: hardware sales (ankle monitors, RF and alcohol devices), recurring software platform subscriptions via VeriTracks® and ENROLLINK, and managed services through Solutions+ on multi-year, quote-based contracts. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeted at state and county corrections agencies, supplemented by an event-driven motion across APPA, RISE, NYSPOA, FPPOA, NCPPA and the firm's own annual Securus Monitoring Training Institute in San Diego. Distribution scale, procurement cycle experience and integration with Aventiv's sister brands JPay and Securus Technologies create embedded access to government customers, while the June 2024 alliance with Talitrix adds wearable GPS and the Talitrix Score predictive-compliance algorithm to the portfolio. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; contracts are custom and tied to program scope and service intensity.

Direct peers

• SCRAM Systems: SCRAM Systems is a leading provider of alcohol and GPS monitoring equipment for community corrections agencies. It is a direct competitor to Securus's SoberTrack™ and BLUtag® product lines, targeting the same parole and probation customers with similar continuous alcohol monitoring and location-tracking solutions.
• BI Incorporated (GEO Group): BI Incorporated, owned by GEO Group, is one of the largest U.S. providers of electronic monitoring and community supervision services. It competes directly with Securus Monitoring across GPS, RF, and alcohol monitoring categories for government parole and probation contracts.
• Attenti (Verizon Connect): Attenti, formerly part of 3M's Electronic Monitoring business and now owned by Verizon, provides GPS and RF offender monitoring solutions globally. It is a direct competitor to Securus Monitoring in the electronic monitoring segment with overlapping product offerings.
• Track Group: Track Group provides offender monitoring and surveillance technology, including GPS tracking and analytical tools for community corrections agencies. It competes directly with Securus Monitoring's GPS tracking and analytics platform offerings.

Emerging players

• Corrisoft: Corrisoft is an emerging technology company that provides smartphone-based case management and GPS monitoring tools for community supervision. It represents a newer generation of digital-first alternatives to traditional hardware-anchored EM solutions like Securus's BLUtag.
• Talitrix: Talitrix is a justice-tech startup that entered a nationwide alliance with Securus Monitoring in June 2024. While currently a partner, its wearable T-Band technology and predictive Talitrix Score algorithm overlap with Securus's roadmap, making it both a partner and a potential future competitor.

Broad incumbents

• GEO Group: GEO Group is one of the largest private corrections and community reentry operators in the U.S., owning BI Incorporated for electronic monitoring. As a vertically integrated incumbent, it competes for large bundled corrections contracts where Securus would otherwise be the EM provider.
• CoreCivic: CoreCivic is a major U.S. private corrections and detention operator with growing community corrections services. While not an EM-first player, it competes for government reentry and supervision contracts where bundled EM capability is a procurement requirement.
• Allied Universal (G4S Justice Services): Allied Universal, which acquired G4S, provides integrated security and justice services including electronic monitoring and offender supervision programs. It competes with Securus Monitoring for government contracts in the broader investigation and security services category.

Regional players

• Buddi: Buddi is a UK-based provider of GPS offender tracking technology with international reach. While primarily serving European markets, it is a comparable electronic monitoring technology provider addressing the same use cases as Securus's BLUtag and BLUhome products.
