ODSS

What ODSS does

On Demand Security Services LLC (ODSS) is a private security services company headquartered in New York, NY and licensed to operate in both New York and New Jersey. Founded in 2022, the firm delivers a comprehensive portfolio of protection services including uniformed armed and unarmed guards, executive and close protection, event security, retail loss prevention via undercover store detectives, parking lot and residential patrol, concierge access control, hospitality security, and certified Fire & Life Safety Directors. It also offers background check and employment screening services including E-Verify identity verification, criminal and driving record checks. The company is built around trained personnel and security consultancy rather than proprietary technology, with electronic security system design and installation delivered through partnerships with external providers.

ODSS serves a diversified client base spanning corporate and enterprise offices, retail and luxury stores, residential buildings, event organizers, hospitality venues, employers, and high-profile individuals. Pricing is fully quote-based, with multi-year contracts negotiated through direct engagement via phone, email, WhatsApp, and a website contact form; no standardized rate cards or self-serve pricing is published. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-client and supported by a recruitment-led workforce expansion via a public Carrier/Careers page. The firm holds state-issued regulatory credentials (NYS Private Investigation License, Watch Guard Agency registration, NJ Security Agency license, FEMA Diversity Awareness certification) and is registered as a federal vendor (Unique Entity ID DM1RZMB1SQG6, CAGE# 9FX92) under NAICS 561611 and 561612.

The business model is a classic professional services staffing and consultancy play: revenue is generated from security guarding contracts (both unarmed and armed, including law enforcement officer deployments), investigation and screening retainers, and add-on consultancy. There are no disclosed financials, no funding rounds, no institutional investors, and no parent company; ODSS appears to be an independently operated, owner-managed LLC with 83 employees and Northeast US geographic concentration.
