Why SponsorGuard
The things no other sponsor tool does.
Deadline trackers and document vaults are everywhere. SponsorGuard is built around the gaps the market leaves wide open — the ones that actually decide an audit.
Your SMS history, finally yours
The UKVI Sponsorship Management System has no bulk export and no history viewer — yet an audit can reach years back. Import your CoS PDFs, keep a permanent, searchable record, and auto-reconcile it against your live workforce.
One dashboard, every client
Built for immigration solicitors and advisers: see compliance status, deadlines, and audit readiness across all of your sponsor clients in a single multi-tenant view. No spreadsheets, no shared folders.
Workers do the legwork
A worker self-service portal collects share codes, documents, and absence updates — flowing straight into the employer's audit record with the identity-match step preserved for a valid statutory excuse.
Audit packs in seconds, AI that cites the rules
Generate an Appendix-D audit pack at the click of a button. CortexAI explains each evidence gap with citations to current Home Office guidance — assistance you review, never legal advice.
Operational workflow
From onboarding to audit pack.
A clear workflow keeps day-to-day HR tasks connected to sponsor licence compliance and audit readiness.
1. Import
Pull in CoS PDFs and worker data — your SMS history, kept for good.
2. Evidence
Workers and owners attach documents for authorised review.
3. Monitor
Track RTW, visas, SMS deadlines, absences, and renewals automatically.
4. Review
CortexAI flags gaps with citations; humans approve before any action.
5. Audit-ready
Generate a complete Appendix-D pack the moment you need it.
Use-case paths
A compliance workspace for the people who keep sponsor duties moving.
Built for everyone who keeps a sponsor licence safe — HR and People teams, immigration solicitors and advisers, and the sponsored workers themselves. Each path keeps compliance evidence visible without turning workflow automation into immigration legal advice.
Prioritise daily sponsor actions
HR compliance owner
Every licence duty, worker status, expiry window, and overdue action in one view — no reconciling separate trackers the morning an audit lands.
Run a whole client portfolio
Immigration solicitor / adviser
Manage compliance, deadlines, and audit readiness across every sponsor client from one multi-tenant dashboard — and bill it back as part of your retainer.
Self-serve, no email chasing
Sponsored worker
Submit your share code, upload documents, and report absences through a simple portal that feeds straight into the employer's audit record.
Be audit-ready every day
Audit pack preparation
Turn a £2,000–£10,000 mock-audit into an always-on posture: assemble a defensible Appendix-D pack with review history in seconds.
Core capabilities
Built around sponsor licence compliance modules.
Each module supports a practical compliance task: tracking the licence, managing workers, monitoring duties, preparing evidence, routing enabled AI-assisted outputs through authorised human review before submission or action, and coordinating adviser workflows where configured.
SMS import & reconciliation
Import Certificate of Sponsorship PDFs, keep a permanent SMS history the portal won't give you, and reconcile it against your workforce to surface mismatches before an inspector does.
Worker hub
Every sponsored worker in one place: CoS, role and site, visa and eVisa expiry, RTW status, owner, and exactly which evidence is missing.
RTW, SMS & absence monitoring
Never miss a 10- or 20-working-day reporting window. Automatic right-to-work re-checks, eVisa share-code reminders, absence flags, and overdue-action alerts.
One-click audit packs
Assemble a complete, defensible Appendix-D pack with document status and review history — exported as PDF or ZIP the moment an audit is announced.
CortexAI compliance assistant
Ask a question and get an answer grounded in current Home Office guidance, with citations — plus per-gap explanations inside every audit pack. Always routed to human review before action.
Solicitor & adviser workspace
Coordinate evidence, deadlines, and audit readiness across an entire portfolio of sponsor clients from one multi-tenant dashboard.
Monitoring workflow
Keep time-sensitive sponsor duties visible between formal reviews.
