Protos Security

Protos primarily aggregates local security vendors rather than maintaining a captive W-2 guard force nationwide. The firm coordinates these vendors through its proprietary Protos Connect and Select apps, handling scheduling, compliance monitoring, and billing while acting as the single client point of contact. For off-duty law enforcement, it leverages what it calls the nation's largest off-duty network of officers and agencies.

The firm's website cites many Fortune 500 clients and describes deployments across multiple geographic locations requiring coordinated security. Its model is built for enterprises needing uniform service standards across dispersed sites, with a central dashboard for oversight. Specific client names are not publicly disclosed.

Protos states that it bills clients only for hours actually delivered by security personnel, monitored through its real-time check-in technology. The firm contrasts this with larger guarding companies that bill based on planned hours regardless of actual attendance. Whether Protos charges a fee on top of the underlying vendor labor cost is not publicly detailed.

Protos maintains a network of thousands of off-duty officers and agencies nationwide, offering these services as a distinct line. It handles dispatch and account management through a central operations function. The firm's May 2024 media activity around police mental health fundraising suggests active ties to law enforcement communities.

The firm does not publicly name its founders or disclose its ownership structure. Its website and available media focus exclusively on service delivery and technology, leaving the principals and backing sources undeclared. Altss has not identified primary-source documentation of the firm's capital structure.
