MEET THE FOUNDER
Built by Someone Who Saw the Need for a Better Solution.
Cliff Gott is a Ministry of Justice certified security consultant and technician with over 18 years of hands-on experience across New Zealand. Site Guardian is what he built when he realised the industry needed an easily deployed, effective system to protect sites with no power or internet.
Why Site Guardian Exists
Cliff Gott didn’t set out to build a technology company. He set out to solve a problem he’d watched go unsolved for most of his career.
After 18 years working in security installations — from residential alarm systems on the Kapiti Coast to large commercial sites across the lower North Island — Cliff started his own company, Secure Time, in 2018. The business grew steadily, built on a reputation for honest advice, quality workmanship, and the kind of reliable local service that only comes from someone who genuinely knows their community.
But the call for a better solution for large sites or sites with no infrastructure kept coming. A farmer who’d had diesel siphoned from equipment spread across fifty hectares of paddocks. A construction site manager whose tools had been stripped two nights running. A property owner with a remote block and nothing between their assets and whoever decided to show up after dark. The common thread was always the same: no power, no internet, no practical way to install a conventional system. The existing solutions couldn’t reach them. An easily deployed, stand-alone system was needed to solve these problems.
Site Guardian was Cliff’s answer to that gap. A solar-powered, 4G-connected security tower that could be deployed anywhere — not as a recording device, but as a genuine prevention system. Actively monitored. Professionally responded to. Visibly deterrent. Built for the New Zealand sites that every other security solution had written off as too hard.
The goal has never changed: make it so your site doesn’t get robbed in the first place. Everything Site Guardian does — the hardware, the monitoring, the territory operator network — exists to deliver that one outcome.
The Credentials Behind Every Deployment
A monitored tower gives you prevention. After 18 years in this industry, I know an easily deployed and moveable system is a great solution for protecting sites.
