Andrews International

What Andrews International does

Andrews International, founded in 1988 and headquartered in Valencia, United States, is a private security and risk mitigation services provider operating with a headcount of 51-100 employees. The detailed operational data associated with the entity describes a comprehensive security services portfolio spanning six revenue streams: Security Professionals (manned guarding, government security, cleared and armed officers, vehicle and bike patrol, visitor management), Enhanced Protection Services (active law enforcement, K9, disaster response, executive protection, intelligence, investigations, risk consulting, CBRNE screening, specialized training), Integrated Technology Services (security lifecycle, video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, identity management, GSOC-as-a-Service, managed services, fire alarms, robotics, emergency communication), Event Services (crowd management, event staffing, unified command center, temporary surveillance, red team audits), Professional Services (insurance claim solutions, workforce solutions, cash inventory management, electronic monitoring), and Facility Solutions (janitorial, window cleaning, metal maintenance across multiple commercial and regulated sectors).

The technology stack combines trained security personnel with proprietary platforms, most notably HELIAUS AI Security (predictive analytics and real-time security intelligence) and Risk360 (proprietary risk assessment tool), plus robotics and autonomous technology for surveillance and patrol. Pricing is quote-based with annual subscription billing on enterprise contracts; go-to-market is enterprise field sales through local North American branches augmented by event-driven partnerships and a content-marketing engine anchored by the annual World Security Report.

The customer base spans aviation, defense and aerospace, data centers, healthcare, corporate campuses, financial institutions, entertainment and sports venues, higher education, utilities, and maritime/port facilities, with named marquee exposure including BMO Stadium (LAFC and Angel City FC). Note: the firmographic identity (Andrews International, Valencia, 51-100 employees) is inconsistent with the scale and detail of the operational data provided, which more closely describes Allied Universal (the 1960-founded platform previously known as Universal Protection Service); this is recorded as a data conflict rather than resolved in the description.
