MP Security

What MP Security does

MP Security, Inc. is an independently owned, Texas-based private security company founded in 1988 and headquartered at 1102 Houston Street in Conroe. The firm provides armed and unarmed security guards, mobile and foot patrol services, alarm response, event security, and a portfolio of specialized offerings including corporate, healthcare, residential, VIP, cash-in-transit, and covert security, supplemented by surveillance-system installations, 24/7 remote monitoring, and cybersecurity services. Operations run continuously, with rapid (sub-hour) deployment claimed for urgent staffing needs, and the workforce is described as fully vetted through state-mandated fingerprinting, drug screening, and background checks, with the company claiming 100 combined years of staff experience.

The company's underlying technology stack is modest: it consists primarily of standard surveillance and alarm hardware installed at client sites, a remote-monitoring capability feeding real-time alerts to in-house personnel, and basic cybersecurity services — there is no proprietary software platform, no disclosed AI/ML capability, and no public API or developer ecosystem. Regulatory assets are central to the operating model, including Texas Department of Public Safety Private Security Bureau licensure (B09069, B26261901), $1 million in general-liability coverage, and workers' compensation insurance, all of which are required to legally deliver armed security services in Texas.

Commercially, MP Security operates a direct, sales-led B2B (and selective B2C) model with no disclosed institutional backing. Revenue is generated on a professional-services basis through long-term contracts and short-term assignments, with pricing quoted per engagement rather than published. The go-to-market is anchored by a 400+ article content-marketing blog and service-area landing pages targeting the Houston metro (Conroe, Katy, Cypress, The Woodlands, and broader Montgomery and West Harris counties). The customer base spans commercial, industrial, healthcare, residential, and event clients, with named logos including US Rubber Corp., National Wire LLC, Colony Ridge Land LLC, Forest Park the Woodlands, and Smith Road Humble — though revenue concentration by client is undisclosed.
