Protos Security is a security services and technology company founded in 2006 that operates across North America, including the United States and Canada. It delivers security through a vendor-managed model, coordinating a network of some 2,800 active security vendors alongside its own service lines. The company maintains 12 office locations, among them operations in Virginia, Texas and Georgia, and runs three security operations centres.
Its four service lines cover guarding, specialised services, remote services and off-duty law enforcement. The last of these draws on a network of more than 40,000 off-duty officers, described by the company as the largest of its kind. For serving and former law-enforcement personnel, this represents direct continuity of policing work - off-duty assignments coordinated at scale - while the remote and specialised lines offer adjacent roles in monitoring and protective services.
Protos runs these services on its proprietary Dynamic Security Management Platform, which handles staffing, vetting, training oversight and accountability, supported by real-time billing and custom reporting. The underlying technical work spans security workforce management, vendor management platforms, remote monitoring, and staffing and vetting technology. The company reports a 97% client retention rate and partnerships with numerous Fortune 500 firms.
