Cyhawk Security Group

What Cyhawk Security Group does

Cyhawk Security Group, Inc. is a Florida-based, privately held contract security and security-training provider headquartered in Fort Lauderdale under Florida State License #B2800115. Founded by Fabian Dodd, the company delivers armed and unarmed uniformed security officers to commercial clients across verticals including condominiums, gated communities, hospitals, financial institutions, hotels, and warehouses, alongside residential concierge services, personal protection/bodyguard services for high-net-worth individuals and executives, and a confidential investigation line covering civil, criminal, and domestic matters, background checks, skip tracing, asset searches, and process service. Its service-level commitments include a 15-minute manager response guarantee (24/7) and mandatory First Aid/CPR certification for all officers.

A core element of the operating model is an in-house Security Training Academy that delivers Florida-mandated licensing courses (D Unarmed, 40-hour at $150; G Armed, 28-hour at $225-$250), an annual G License requalification ($100), a concealed weapons permit course ($150) taught by NRA-certified instructors, and a D-16hr unarmed licensing track ($85). The academy exceeds state requirements by mandating a minimum of four hours of additional training per officer per month, and the company offers free job placement to graduates, creating a vertical pipeline that supplies its own service contracts.

Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: a high percentage of business is described as coming from repeat customers and referrals, with marketing concentrated on the corporate website (cyhawksecuritygroup.com) and word-of-mouth. Revenue streams consist of managed-services security contracts, one-time training course fees, and professional-services investigation engagements. The company operates from a single Fort Lauderdale location with 51-100 employees, serves only the Florida market, has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no named institutional investors, consistent with a founder-owned small business rather than a venture-backed or PE-backed operator.
