What Nastec International does

Nastec International is a private security, investigation, and risk management firm founded in 1994 by Sean Ben and headquartered in Agoura Hills, California, with an additional regional office in Accra, Ghana. The company delivers armed and unarmed physical security, executive and estate protection, event security, school district security, and public-private partnership (PPP) programs that supply municipalities and police departments with supplemental personnel as force multipliers; it also runs investigation services covering asset search and recovery, due diligence and background checks, fraud and financial crimes investigations, internal investigations, and social media monitoring. Adjacent offerings include HUMINT, OSINT, WEBINT, counter-surveillance, and crisis management support for government, military, and police clients, plus a dedicated Unhoused Services vertical focused on humane, unarmed patrol and social services coordination for cities managing homelessness.

Operationally, Nastec pairs this services portfolio with the MILO Simulator System, a portable, mobile virtual training platform that fits in a 12'x12' room and provides immersive practice for verbal de-escalation, firearm use, taser training, and small-arms scenarios via hand-held simulated weapons; the simulator is positioned as both an internal training asset for Nastec personnel and a billable product for law enforcement customers. Leadership is led by founder/CEO Sean Ben and includes EVP Anthony Chapa (retired US Secret Service Senior Vice President/Assistant Director), CFO Shiraya Honig (CPA, California State University Northridge), and VP of Operations Rick Curiel, bringing ex-federal and prior-contract-security depth.

Commercially, Nastec operates a B2B/field-sales go-to-market, pricing on customized quotes rather than published rates, and routes demand primarily through direct engagement with Police Chiefs, City Managers, City Councils, and school district administrators under PPP contracts, supplemented by organic social (Facebook, Twitter/X) and the company website. Revenue is generated across four streams: Security Services (professional services), Public Private Partnerships (managed services for cities with existing security budgets), Investigations Services, and Training Services. The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, parent companies, or M&A activity, and operates across roughly six customer verticals (school districts, police/municipalities, unhoused support, private sector/individuals, corporate/legal, government/military) with no public revenue disclosure.
