Tangent Group International

What Tangent Group International does

Tangent Group International is a private security services firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in North Miami Beach, Florida. It delivers enterprise-grade security to Fortune 1000 and Fortune 500 clients through ten service modules: Executive Protection, Corporate Security, Media/Film Security, Workplace Violence Prevention, Disaster Response, Estate Security, Threat Assessments, Surveillance/Investigations, Drone/UAV Assessment, and Pandemic Management. The company employs 11–50 staff directly with hundreds of additional operators on its active roster and hundreds more available through a strategic partner network, with more than 70% of personnel drawn from military, police, or government backgrounds. Founder and President David Brown is ex-Pinkerton, and CEO Roxxy Brown (joined 2017) brings an oil & gas security background to the corporate scaling effort.

The firm operates a proprietary technology platform called Overwatch® Project Management Systems, built in 2019, which functions as a virtual Global Security Operations Center (GSOC) and integrates operational delivery, scheduling, and incident management across all ten service modules. This platform is the operational backbone that enables the firm to oversee hundreds of deployed operators from a thin direct headcount. The company maintains Texas and Florida state security licenses and holds credentials across ASIS, IAHSS, OSAC, ATAP, SAM.gov, and DUNS, qualifying it for government and large-enterprise procurement.

The business model is enterprise B2B with custom quote-based pricing on multi-module engagements, supported by SAM.gov and DUNS procurement credentials for federal contracting access. Geographic reach is nationwide through the strategic partner network, with direct licensing and operations concentrated in Florida and Texas and expanding into California, Washington, Illinois, and Missouri. Revenue mechanics are anchored on long-cycle enterprise retainers and project-based deployments rather than transactional volume. The 2022 Inc. Best In Business award and a disclosed milestone in which Eric Williams' due-diligence leadership oversaw over $40M in allocated revenue in 2022 indicate the firm has reached scale capable of supporting Fortune-tier multi-engagement portfolios.

Core offering

Tangent Group International provides contracted security services including executive protection, corporate security, disaster response, workplace violence mitigation, estate security, and threat/risk assessments for Fortune 1000 clients across the US and internationally. Service delivery is powered by its proprietary Overwatch® Project Management Systems, a custom-built software platform that enables real-time personnel tracking, automated reporting, invoicing, and payroll, combined with a virtual GSOC staffed across multiple regions for 24/7/365 continuity. The company deploys hundreds of protection personnel, over 70% of whom are former military, police, or government officers, with capabilities spanning armed/unarmed close protection, secure ground transportation, FAA-certified drone operations, and surveillance/investigations.

Product overview

Tangent Group International operates a security services portfolio architected as a proprietary software platform plus a set of named service modules. At the core sits Overwatch® Project Management Systems, Tangent's wholly-owned platform that drives real-time personnel tracking, reporting, customer onboarding, staffing, invoicing, and payroll, and that, combined with a virtual GSOC staffed across multiple regions and time zones, powers 24/7/365 nationwide operations. Layered on top of Overwatch are ten named service modules: Executive Protection, Corporate Security, Media/Film Security, Workplace Violence (hostile termination/reduction in force), Disaster Response and Loss Mitigation, Estate and Residence Security, Threat, Vulnerability and Risk Assessments, Surveillance and Investigations, Drone/UAV Assessment, and Pandemic Management. The platform provides the operational backbone while the modules are the customer-facing service lines, allowing Tangent to assemble custom protection solutions (often combining close protection, surveillance, and investigations) for Fortune 1000 clients across the US and abroad.

Brands

• Overwatch® Project Management Systems: Proprietary, company-owned software platform designed by Tangent Group to manage security operations in real time, including personnel tracking, automated invoicing/payroll, and reporting. Powers Tangent Group's virtual GSOC.

Products and services

• Overwatch® Project Management Systems Tangent's proprietary, wholly-owned platform underpinning all service delivery: real-time field personnel tracking, automated reporting, customer onboarding, job staffing, invoicing, and payroll automation. Combined with the virtual GSOC, it enables 24/7/365 multi-location project management and continuity.
• Executive Protection Close protection for executives and high-net-worth individuals using personnel trained in methods adopted from military, police, U.S. Secret Service, and U.S. State Department. Officers can be armed or unarmed, deployed overtly or covertly, 24/7, for travel or workplace-only assignments; includes secure ground transportation via single- or multi-vehicle motorcades with protection-agent-licensed drivers.
• Corporate Security On-site security officer coverage for corporate clients covering access control, customer service, first aid, crisis management, pandemic screening, and active-threat mitigation. Officers are trained to integrate into clients' day-to-day operations and relieve non-security employees of hazardous duties.
• Media/Film Security Protective coverage for media and film production crews, on-air talent, interviewees, and physical studio locations, addressing risks from crowds, protests, controversial topics, and politically charged coverage. Coverage can be static or mobile across the entire crew and filming sites.
• Workplace Violence (Hostile Termination / Reduction in Force) Security deployment for employee separation events, reductions in force, hostile terminations, and strikes. Tangent works directly with clients' HR and Security departments to design safe separation plans and mitigate risk of property loss and liability injuries.
• Disaster Response and Loss Mitigation Rapid personnel deployment following hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, and protest/civil unrest to secure damaged facilities and prevent post-event theft, looting, and vandalism. Capabilities include flood rescue and recovery, undersea search/recovery, and underwater photography/inspection of marine vessels and seawalls.
• Estate and Residence Security Physical deterrent and trained protection professionals deployed at the personal residences of executives and high-net-worth individuals, providing protection beyond cameras and addressing threat environments that spill over from the workplace into private homes.
• Threat, Vulnerability and Risk Assessments Enterprise Security Risk Management services including threat, vulnerability, and risk assessments, executive residence assessments, site security assessments, and security plan auditing, applying a multi-dimensional risk perspective to avoid blind spots of single-dimension reviews.
• Surveillance and Investigations Corporate and private investigations focused on insurance fraud, theft, and surveillance of individuals who have made threats of violence or are suspected of illegal workplace activity. Investigations can be combined with close protection and internal investigations as needed.
• Drone/UAV Assessment FAA-certified drone pilots deploy UAVs to capture 4K video for damage assessments, search and recovery (property, people, pets), and security overwatch of large properties or venues, supporting disaster management, crowd management, and property patrol without placing personnel in harm's way.
• Pandemic Management / Pandemic Response Licensed and trained officers provided to clients in banking, grocery, pharmacy, medical, and fueling-station sectors during viral-threat events. Services include screening of patients and staff, occupancy-load management, crowd control, and protection of high-value essential inventories against theft or robbery, with insurance levels exceeding state minimums.

Broad incumbents

• Pinkerton: Global corporate security and investigative services firm, and the firm where Tangent's founder David Brown rose to regional detail leader. Most directly comparable as a brand and talent pedigree reference, though Pinkerton operates at vastly larger scale across enterprise risk, investigations, and executive protection.
• Securitas: World's largest security services group offering guarding, mobile, and electronic security. Comparable on corporate-security and event-security modules, but operates at a much larger branch-driven scale and competes on national-account RFPs that Tangent also bids.
• G4S (now part of Allied Universal): Global security and facilities-services group historically competing across guarding, secure transportation, and event security. Comparable on large-scale enterprise and government security contracts, particularly around secure transportation and event deployments.
• Allied Universal: North American security services giant providing on-site officers, executive protection, and risk consulting. Comparable across corporate security, event security, and disaster-response modules and a primary pricing competitor for Tangent's enterprise pipeline.
• Control Risks: Global risk consultancy combining executive protection, security advisory, and threat/vulnerability assessments. Closely comparable to Tangent's threat-assessment and executive-protection modules for Fortune 500 clients.

Direct peers

• AS Solution: Executive protection specialist serving corporate executives and HNW families with globally deployed agents — the closest like-for-like competitor to Tangent's close protection and secure transportation core.
• SOS Security: US provider of executive protection, corporate security, and event security with national reach. Closely comparable in service mix and client profile (corporate and HNW), and a frequent head-to-head competitor for executive-protection RFPs.
• Hillard Heintze: Corporate security advisory and investigations firm serving Fortune-class enterprises with threat assessments, workplace-violence, and protective services — direct overlap with Tangent's threat-assessment and workplace-violence modules.
• Walden Security: US security services firm delivering on-site officers, special-event coverage, and protective services to enterprise and government clients. Comparable on corporate-security module and event-coverage engagements at a similar SMB-to-mid-market scale.
• St. Moritz Security Services: US-based security services provider offering armed/unarmed officers, executive protection, and event security. Comparable on service breadth and mid-market enterprise positioning, with overlapping modules in executive protection and corporate guarding.
