Freeze

Stop everything from moving, immediately, when something is wrong.

Freeze in SigmaPointPi
/freeze

A freeze halts outbound payments, card authorisations and scheduled runs at once. It exists for the moment you suspect compromise, fraud, or an error about to execute at scale.

Freezing is instant and reversible. Every freeze and release is recorded with the person and the reason.

How to work this page

Freeze first, investigate second

The cost of an unnecessary freeze is an hour of inconvenience. The cost of investigating first is whatever executes while you do.

Choose the scope

Everything, or payments only, or cards only. Narrow scope keeps payroll running while a card problem is contained.

Work the held queue

Everything stopped is listed with what it was and when it was due. Release individually as each is cleared.

Release deliberately

Releasing requires a reason and reinstates scheduling from that moment. Anything that missed its date is shown rather than silently sent late.

On a phone

Freeze on iPhone 15 Pro Max

Every figure from the desktop appears here, stacked rather than reduced. Tables scroll inside themselves so the page never moves sideways, and figures keep their separators and their alignment at every width.

Questions people actually ask

Does a freeze affect money already sent?

No. Executed payments have left. A freeze stops what has not gone yet, which is why speed matters.

Who can freeze?

Any administrator, deliberately, because a control that requires finding the right person is a control that arrives too late.
