What Perimeter Security does
Perimeter Security Group (PSG) is a privately held, woman-owned small business founded in 1998 and headquartered in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The company operates as a turnkey physical security systems integrator, designing, fabricating, and installing perimeter security solutions across the western United States, with offices in Coeur d'Alene, Federal Way (Seattle/Tacoma), Sylmar (Southern California), and Seattle. PSG serves federal and military clients (Navy HQ San Diego, NIH Rocky Mountain Labs, Department of Corrections, federal courthouses, Grand Coulee Dam), marquee commercial and entertainment properties (Nike, SpaceX, Climate Pledge Arena, Staples Center, Port of Seattle), municipalities (Venice Beach), and residential customers.
PSG's product portfolio spans automated standard and custom gates, prefabricated security booths, access control systems, parking and fee collection systems, turnstiles and ADA gates, anti-climb and anti-ram fencing (K4/K8/K12 rated), anti-ram walls, anti-ram bollards, anti-ram gates and barriers (C40 to M50 rated, capable of stopping 15,000 lb vehicles at 50 mph), video surveillance systems, and custom metal fabrication. The company's proprietary GIS-based security planning methodology uses computer modeling to map forced-entry routes, overlay speed ratings, and position crash walls, bollards, and architectural elements to mitigate vehicle-borne threats. PSG has installed more than 5,000 retractable and fixed bollards and maintains an installed base of automated entry systems across federal, commercial, and residential sites.
PSG generates revenue through four primary streams: gate installation services (design, fabrication, and installation of standard and custom automated gates), service/repair/maintenance contracts on installed systems, physical security consulting (risk assessments, threat/vulnerability analysis, design-build assistance, GSA Security Standards compliance), and custom metal fabrication (railings, cable/glass panel systems in aluminum, steel, stainless steel, bronze, brass). Pricing is quote-based, and PSG sells both directly to end customers (residential, municipal, enterprise) and as a subcontractor to Tier 1 general contractors including Turner Construction, Skanska, Clark Construction, Hensel Phelps, and M.A. Mortenson. The company holds DBE, WBE, and SBE certifications across 10+ states, anti-terrorism certificates through the US Department of Homeland Security, and a California Contractor's License, providing preferential access to government and public-sector set-aside contracts.

Perimeter Security competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Convergint Technologies: Convergint is one of the largest US security systems integrators offering electronic security, access control, video surveillance, and perimeter solutions across enterprise and government. They are a broad incumbent that can absorb the full perimeter integration scope that PSG delivers for clients.
- Heras (formerly Betafence): Heras is a large European-headquartered perimeter protection specialist offering fencing, gates, bollards, and access control. They are a PSG supplier (as Betafence) and a broad incumbent in the perimeter security market globally.
Direct peers
- Delta Scientific: Delta Scientific manufactures and supplies high-security vehicle barriers, bollards, and crash-rated gates (including M50-rated systems) that PSG installs. As the leading US manufacturer in this category, it competes with PSG's integration scope when selling direct to end customers.
- B&B Roadway Security Solutions: B&B Roadway specializes in high-security gates, bollards, barriers, and fence systems for government, military, and critical infrastructure customers. They compete head-to-head with PSG on federal and large commercial perimeter security bids.
- Ameristar Fence Products: Ameristar manufactures anti-climb fencing, access control integration, and high-security perimeter products (a PSG supplier). They compete in the same anti-climb fence and perimeter security category with both direct sales and contractor distribution.
- SecureUSA: SecureUSA provides anti-ram bollards, wedge barriers, and high-security perimeter protection systems for federal buildings, military, and commercial sites. They offer a comparable product portfolio to PSG with both direct sales and turnkey installation.
- Barrier1 Systems: Barrier1 is a manufacturer of fixed and removable security bollards and vehicle barrier systems (a PSG supplier). They compete in the same crash-rated bollard category and can sell directly to end customers that PSG serves.
- Cova Security Gates: Cova Security Gates manufactures and installs high-security gates, bollards, and barriers for airports, embassies, and government facilities. Their offering closely mirrors PSG's crash-rated and anti-ram product line.
- Nasatka Security Barrier Systems: Nasatka designs and manufactures anti-ram bollards, crash-rated barriers, wedge barriers, and active vehicle barriers for military and high-security sites. They overlap directly with PSG's anti-ram portfolio as both a product manufacturer and project installer.
Emerging players
- American Fence & Security Co. American Fence & Security offers commercial fencing, automated gates, and access control installation across the Western US. They overlap with PSG's residential and commercial gate business but have a smaller presence in crash-rated government work.
