Typical customers are banks and fintechs, retailers, logistics operators, critical infrastructure owners, government agencies, and high-net-worth individuals seeking outsourced security expertise. Operators navigate strict licensing, firearms handling, privacy and data protection rules, as well as labor, union, and liability exposures tied to use-of-force incidents and theft or loss of valuables. In 2024–2025, the sector is shaped by rising cyber-physical convergence, AI-driven analytics in cameras and control rooms, wage inflation and staff shortages, and growing demand for scalable security-as-a-service contracts.
