Security 101

Franchise Overview

This franchise operates in the commercial security integration space, offering businesses comprehensive physical security solutions including access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, visitor management, and cloud-based managed security services. Franchisees serve commercial clients by designing, installing, and managing integrated security systems tailored to each facility. The business model leverages a proven platform with recurring managed service revenue streams alongside project-based installation work, providing multiple income channels.

Franchisees benefit from an extensive training program, a collaborative network of fellow owners sharing knowledge and best practices, and strong operational infrastructure support from the franchisor. The customer base consists of businesses across industries seeking to protect assets, manage facility access, and monitor activity.

The model is storefront-independent, with franchisees typically operating from an office or light commercial space while servicing client sites directly. Since 2021, the platform has undergone significant national expansion through an acquisition strategy, and was sold to Morgan Stanley Capital Partners in early 2026, indicating continued investment and growth momentum.
