Strategos International

What Strategos International does

Strategos International is a privately held security services firm headquartered in Independence, Missouri, founded in 2001 (firmographics list 2002) and operating as an LLC with regional offices in Carrollton, Texas and Ocala, Florida. The company delivers integrated training, consulting, and protection services to healthcare systems, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, corporate enterprises, and houses of worship across the United States, with training and services extended to 15 countries. Its portfolio spans Active Shooter Intruder Response (ASIR) training, trauma-informed de-escalation (S.A.F.E. Approach), embedded School Protection Specialists (SPS), executive protection, investigations, digital threat monitoring, and crisis casualty care. Across more than 25 years of operation, the company reports having trained more than 600,000 personnel across 1,500+ organizations.

The firm operates a three-pillar framework—Consulting, Protection, and Training—built on proprietary technology including the FORTIFY data-driven security assessment platform, the S.A.F.E. Approach methodology, an e-learning platform, and the Digital Overwatch threat-monitoring service (covering open, deep, and dark web with digital geofencing). Delivery combines on-site engagements, a self-serve e-learning subscription arm, and embedded personnel placement. Talent base includes former Secret Service agents, school superintendents, law enforcement officers, and military veterans.

Strategos generates revenue primarily through professional services engagements (custom consulting projects, on-site training programs, and security staffing) supplemented by subscription e-learning and event security contracts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; engagements are typically multi-year and custom-designed around organizational needs. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise field sales supported by content marketing (blog, white papers, webinars), organic social, and channel partnerships—most notably a January 2026 partnership with Vizient Southern States for healthcare distribution. Documented customer outcomes include a 40% reduction in security calls and 35% decrease in violent incidents at a 45-facility hospital network, and a 51.42% decrease in fights at Fort Osage School District following SPS implementation.
