Lipman in 1963, Guardsmark has created uncompromising standards of excellence that result in superior service and value.

Guardsmark, with a record 19,000 employees, is the largest employer of former FBI agents in the world. Many who were leaders in the FBI are now among the company’s managers, including some of America’s top experts in counterterrorism, executive protection, workplace violence and organized crime.
Further, Guardsmark announced it has earned ISO 9001:2000 registration covering all of its offices, the only large internationally-based security services firm to have earned registration of its quality management system for 100 percent of its branches for both service and design.

What sets Guardsmark’s ISO 9001:2000 registration apart from that of other security services firms is the establishment of a higher measurement program through the design of unique and unusual solutions for its clients.
