Product updates, new features, and improvements across the Lorica platform.
v2026.09.09
Company Versions — company-maintained professional profiles
Company Versions is here. Companies can now maintain their own relationship-scoped version of a professional's profile — presenting the roles, bio, education, work history, and credentials most relevant to a given partnership, without altering the professional's own profile.
Editable, company-authored credentials. Add, edit, renew, and version credentials on a company-maintained profile, with clear signals when an update is available from the professional and a side-by-side way to compare versions.
Share with confidence. Preview and share company-version profiles with partners, with visibility controls that keep each side in control of what's presented.
Cleaner credential views. A canonical credential list and a streamlined read-only experience for unmanaged profiles make it easier to see what's current at a glance.
A redesigned Lorica website
Brand-new marketing site. Refreshed homepage, platform, pricing, company, private security, municipal, resources, and contact pages — all on a unified design system.
Try it live. An interactive product demo is embedded directly in the site so visitors can experience the platform before signing up.
Great on mobile. Demos gracefully fall back to crisp screenshots on smaller screens, with polished mobile navigation, heroes, and scroll reveals throughout.
Consistent legal & onboarding pages. Privacy, Terms, Master Services Agreement, subprocessors, vendor and professional invitations, join-team, and get-the-app pages now share the same modern look and feel.
Credentials & Compliance
Improved credential management and compliance signals across profiles, including clearer attestation and renewal handling.
Introducing the Document Manager. Companies and professionals each now have a dedicated document library — upload, organize by category, version, search, and filter your files in one place. Downloads and previews are served over encrypted storage.
Share documents across a relationship. Securely share documents with a partner company or professional you work with; the other side sees them under "Documents Shared With You," and every share is logged and notified.
Sharing that respects the relationship. Mark a document as no longer shareable to instantly revoke access, and when a working relationship ends, shared documents are frozen into a read-only historical snapshot both sides can still reference.
🔒 Trust & Privacy
Advance notice of subprocessor changes. Our Privacy Policy now commits to notifying your designated account contact before we add or replace a subprocessor, with a 30-day window to raise an objection — giving you more transparency and control over how your data is handled.
🎨 Interface & Experience
Cleaner, more consistent company branding. Company logos now render as rounded squares across directories, search, staffing, and messaging, making it easier to tell companies and people apart at a glance.
Redesigned the insurance policy credential experience with clearer policy fields and expiration tracking, plus a new company-level Certificate of Insurance document library.
Fixed credential document uploads so custom credentials show the correct upload slots, and ID cards like Driver's Licenses now capture both front and back images.
Networking & Discovery
Introduced highlighted professionals in "Suggested Contacts," giving standout profiles greater visibility while strong organic matches can still rank on top.
Improved people search when inviting professionals — fuzzy matching now surfaces relevant people even when they're already connected to you.
Onboarding
Added a friendly profile completion reminder email at 7 and 12 days that shows only the sections still left to finish, so professionals can unlock a shareable profile faster.
Partnerships & Sharing
Polished the partner company experience: accurate status labels, managed/unmanaged badges, coverage visibility, and cleaner navigation highlighting.
Shared professionals now display a clear "Shared Profile" label across association views.
Profile share cards now show the expiration date in every state — pending, active, paused, or ended — not just active shares.
Notifications
Bulk relationship changes now arrive as a single clean digest email and in-app summary instead of a flood of individual messages.
Fixed an issue where expiring invitations could incorrectly trigger "relationship ended" notifications.
Trust & Transparency
Published a public Subprocessors page disclosing the third-party providers that process customer data, linked from our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and footer.
Insurance expiry alerts now reach the right people. Alerts for company-held insurance and Certificates of Insurance (COIs) are now delivered to company administrators rather than individual professionals, so the people responsible for coverage are the ones who hear about it.
No more repeat alerts. Expiry reminders are now sent once per recipient instead of re-firing every day, cutting inbox noise while keeping you informed.
Company coverage is tracked at the company level. Workers' compensation COIs uploaded by companies are now correctly owned by the company, keeping compliance records accurate as team members come and go.
Sharing & Profiles
See exactly what your recipients see. "Preview Shared Profile" now opens your shared profile in a new tab, rendered just as an external recipient would view it — no internal dashboard chrome.
Shared credential details on any device. Recipients can open a clean credential detail view for each shared credential, fully accessible on mobile and by keyboard, showing only the information you've chosen to share.
A more personal touch. Shared profiles now reference the professional by name (e.g. "This profile was shared by Jane Doe via Lorica").
Rebuilt notifications on a unified, event-driven pipeline for more reliable and consistent email and in-app alerts across profile sharing, staffing, credentials, billing, and security events.
Vendor & Prime Coordination
Vendors can now review and respond to prime change requests directly from the vendor management screens.
Added accept / deny controls for credential type-change requests, with clearer at-a-glance status badges.
