Features for UK sponsor licence compliance

SponsorGuard is the operating layer for sponsor licence duties — worker hub, RTW automation, absence monitoring, one-click audit packs, and CortexAI for cited immigration rule lookups.

Platform modules

The operating layer for sponsor licence duties.

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.

CortexAI for Immigration

A cited AI assistant over current UKVI rules. Every answer references the specific rule or Home Office guidance it draws on. Available to enterprises and solicitor firms. AI-assisted, human-reviewed — not legal advice.

Getting started workflow

From workforce import to audit pack.

The system keeps operational work visible while preserving human accountability for legal, policy, and document review decisions.

  1. 1

    Import your workforce from a spreadsheet (CSV/Excel) or your HR/payroll export, and upload your Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) PDFs — SponsorGuard extracts and keeps them as your system of record. Review the auto-mapped column layout and confirm; no personal data is committed before the review step.

  2. 2

    Monitor Right-to-Work checks, SMS reporting events, absences, reportable changes, visa and eVisa expiry windows, renewals, and missing evidence from one priority view.

  3. 3

    RTW re-check sweep runs on a monthly automated cycle with tiered alerts at T-90, T-60, T-30, T-14, T-7, and overdue — every check logged to the audit trail.

  4. 4

    Absence data arrives via CSV file, inbound REST API, or HRIS connector (Workday, SAP, BambooHR). Each absence is matched to the relevant compliance record and flagged at the 4-week reportable duty threshold.

  5. 5

    One-click Appendix D evidence assembly per sponsored worker plus a pre-visit self-assessment questionnaire grounded in current Home Office guidance. Your team authorises before use.

  6. 6

    Ask CortexAI for cited rule lookups over current UKVI guidance. AI-assisted outputs require authorised human review before any submission or action.

Monitoring signals

Surface the events that need human action.

SponsorGuard flags missing information and deadline pressure so HR teams and advisers can decide what to do next.

  • Right-to-Work evidence and automatic repeat-check dates.
  • Visa and eVisa expiry windows, with share-code re-check reminders.
  • SMS reporting events, 10- and 20-working-day deadlines, and overdue actions.
  • Absence records, reportable absence flags, and owner follow-up.
  • Missing, expired, or unreviewed worker evidence.

CortexAI for Immigration

AI-assisted and human-reviewed — CortexAI does not provide immigration legal advice. Authorised human review is required before any submission or action.

Cited answers, not guesses

Every CortexAI response references the specific UKVI rule, Home Office guidance, or policy document it draws on — verifiable before acting.
