Protos Security History – Our Story

When Protos Security was founded in 2006, the vision was simple: there had to be a better way to manage security programs.

The traditional model was fragmented and difficult to scale, with organizations often managing multiple providers, contracts and invoices with limited visibility into what was happening across their security programs. Protos set out to change that by combining local security expertise with centralized management, accountability and technology.

What began as a modern alternative to traditional guarding has evolved significantly over the past 20 years.

Protos has expanded across North America, built one of the nation’s largest off-duty law enforcement networks and broadened its capabilities beyond guarding into remote monitoring, specialized services, intelligence, executive protection and risk management. At the same time, continued investment in proprietary technology has connected clients, providers, field personnel and Protos’ operations with greater visibility and access to real-time information.

Each step has strengthened the same idea Protos was built around: give organizations the flexibility to deploy the right security resources, in the right places, at the right time – all through one accountable partner.

Today, Protos delivers an integrated, technology-enabled security ecosystem built to adapt as client needs and risks evolve.

Read on as we look back at the milestones that transformed a bold idea into the Protos of today.
