Strategic Security

What Strategic Security does

Strategic Security Corp. (SSC), founded in 2002 and headquartered in Smithtown, New York, is a privately held, nationwide integrated security solutions provider operating 7 regional offices and 56 branch offices across 35+ U.S. states with a workforce of more than 3,500 employees. The company's core offering is manned security—armed and unarmed guards, executive protection, event security, retail loss prevention, detention officers, off-duty law enforcement, and canine explosive detection teams—supplemented by emergency response and disaster recovery services delivered under federal contracts with agencies including DHS, FEMA, the Department of Defense, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Department of Justice, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

SSC protects in excess of 1,972,000 man-hours annually and has supported more than 189 emergency responses and 26+ Presidential Disasters since founding. Its technology layer includes a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC/GSOC), Remote Guarding with AI-assisted threat detection, autonomous robots and drones, CCTV and intrusion detection systems, a Workforce Management Software platform, and a proprietary Strategic Police Information Network (SPIN) for intelligence sharing with law enforcement. Additional capabilities include temporary life-support facilities for humanitarian and disaster response (40,000+ hours/week supporting asylum seekers in Texas and Arizona), Threat Watch, Travel Watch, Lot Watch, and business investigations and risk consulting.

Revenue is generated through professional-services hourly billing for guard deployments and managed-services contracts for government and enterprise clients. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated per engagement rather than publicly disclosed. The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales with pre-qualification on government procurement vehicles (GSA Multiple Award Schedule, TSA SPP IDIQ, State of Georgia DOAS), supplemented by thought-leadership marketing via a disaster preparedness webinar series, blog content, and broad social media presence. Certification posture includes ISO 9001:2015 accreditation across its core service lines and BBB A+ accreditation.
