Strategic Security Solutions is a small business with a lot of passion and a big vision.
We started out the way many small businesses do with a desire to do good work and take care of customers and have evolved over the years. Today, we see a significant gap in the electronic security market with many of the middle-tier security integration firms getting acquired by larger firms leaving customers fewer choices. We want to step into that gap and give customers a quality choice for a middle-market ($10M-$100M as we define it) security integrator with regional, national, and global expertise.
Mission: To drive higher standards and create a new dimension of performance in the electronic security industry.
Vision: To be the preeminent, independent, middle market electronic security integrator in each of the markets we serve by earning the trust of clients, one step at a time.
Passion: A culture that fosters taking on the toughest challenges and promotes holistic growth that is beneficial to everyone on this journey with us.
