Guard staffing and incident management platform for retail and enterprise security
Protos Security operates a staffing-plus-technology model: they deploy guards nationwide through a network of local vendors and off-duty law enforcement, then layer in real-time incident reporting, time & attendance tracking, and custom billing. The hiring profile is almost entirely security and operations staff, with minimal engineering (2 headcount) — a signal that the platform is mature and stable rather than in heavy product development. Current pain points cluster around compliance (liquor law, non-compliance documentation), loss prevention (shoplifting, trespassing, property damage), and operational friction (billing accuracy, customer satisfaction), suggesting the product roadmap is tuned to retail and enterprise verticals rather than core platform expansion.
