Security services are a field that Francis St. Holder has spent time studying while serving as an IT executive in Washington DC. As technology continues to grow, the level and types of services available to clients expands accordingly. The following are the most common types of security services that are available for the public and private sectors.
- Personal security service finds a security business providing human protection for an individual client or group of clients. The most common form of personal security is the use of a bodyguard. Depending on the status and needs of the client being watched, one or more bodyguards may be contracted to cover the client.
- Business security services vary in options and severity depending on the type of business and what assets are kept on site. A basic level of business security will involve cameras and monitoring devices that can be viewed remotely. For larger-scale or higher revenue installations, the business security service may include armed guards that patrol the property during and after business hours.
- Home security services are the most popular as they act as a first level of protection for a homeowner and their family. Installations such as security alarms, surveillance cameras, and wireless security products are commonplace. These systems offer protection from theft as well as a link to emergency personnel in case of fire.
- Vehicle security systems are becoming second-nature to the automotive industry. Francis St. Holder has witnessed the rise in vehicles that come equipped with options such as OnStar.
