On-site and mobile security services with integrated guarding across North America
Securitas USA operates a 95,000-person security services business focused on on-site guarding, mobile patrol, electronic security, and fire/safety compliance. The tech stack reveals a hybrid operational model: heavy reliance on Microsoft enterprise tools (SharePoint, Dynamics 365, PeopleSoft) for workforce and client management, paired with specialized security platforms (Genetec, Avigilon, Lenel OnGuard) for monitoring and access control. Hiring velocity is steady across security roles, but pain-point data surfaces structural challenges—compliance training gaps, overtime cost pressures, and fast-paced recruitment friction—that suggest the business is scaling faster than its operational infrastructure can absorb.
