Contract security services for Fortune 500 companies and municipalities
Sunstates Security operates a geographically distributed contract security business serving enterprise and public-sector clients across the U.S., with 5,000–10,000 employees and a tech footprint centered on Microsoft productivity tools and mobile device management. The hiring profile is heavily skewed toward junior security personnel (267 of 413 active roles), and pain points cluster around shift coverage and staff retention—classic operational friction in labor-intensive security staffing. Current project focus on business development and market positioning suggests growth ambitions beyond organic attrition replacement.
Notable leadership hires: Space Lead, Fire Life Safety Director, Shift Lead, School Safety Director, Site Lead
