Dynamically Adaptive Client Services
Dedicated Support

Each Protos client is assigned a Senior Service Agent as their main point of contact. Beyond that personal focus, we also have a documented process in place for listening to your concerns and acting on them.

Commitment to Excellence

When issues arise we create a full description along with follow-up tasks. Dispatch manages the hot spot, communicating with the client and documenting the situation. If the issue can’t be resolved with the current partner, Protos will replace the officer or the vendor as necessary. And we’ll use the feedback for future process improvements, both for your account as well as for others.

Protos Promises an unwavering security experience
Greater speed and flexibility

Modern, responsive security fast; when, where and how you need it.

Data-validated billing

We only bill what we deliver, backed up by 24/7 monitoring.

Continuous improvement program

We never settle; we’re always pushing ourselves to be better.

Always-accountable customer service

You get a single point of contact to coordinate a team of experts.
