Last-minute security for an event. Round-the-clock coverage at a construction site. Ongoing access control for an office park. Since 2010, we have staffed all three — and most things in between — for clients ranging from Fortune 500 headquarters to single-site operators.
Born out of relentless dedication and firm resolve for exceptional standards, our story exemplifies how a single individual’s vision can transform an entire sector.
Message from our CEO & Founder, Souleymane Ball –
The Guard Alliance Inc. began as the humble dream of a young immigrant looking to build a brighter, stronger, and safer future for his community.
From a team of one, we now employ hundreds of security specialists nationwide who share our commitment to professionalism, expertise, and integrity.
A mathematics graduate who started out working security posts himself, Souleymane founded Ball Security & Patrol Services in June 2010 with a single employee. As the client base grew beyond the Bay Area, the company became The Guard Alliance — today licensed and operating in all 50 states.
The Guard Alliance provides security services for commercial properties, residential complexes, schools, office buildings, retail stores, and construction sites across the country.
Our reputation for reliability and professionalism has earned us the trust of organizations across every sector — from global brands like Amazon, Apple, Disney, Chevron, FedEx, and McDonald’s, to sports and entertainment partners like the Golden State Warriors. We’ve supported major builders like Clark Construction, leading institutions including UC Berkeley and Cleveland Clinic, and mission-driven organizations such as Greenpeace and The Salvation Army, alongside global technology leaders like Siemens.
Growth has never been only about contracts. The Guard Alliance was selected for the Golden State Warriors Franchise Fund — a program supporting Bay Area businesses — with founder Souleymane Ball speaking at the event.
From one guard in 2010 to licensed operations across all 50 states, the company has stayed rooted in the community that gave it a start.
Our team has grown and adapted to rapidly changing conditions in our industry. We’ve made a lasting impact as a security guard company by collaborating with our clients and tailoring solutions to their specific needs. You can trust our armed and unarmed security guard services to safeguard your property, assets, and people. Depending on your security needs, we are also ready to deploy fire-watch services, on-site vehicle patrol services, and event security.
We are licensed in seven states — California, Oregon, Washington, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Ohio — where we recruit, train, license, and manage every guard ourselves: hundreds of officers across more than 50 cities.
Everywhere else, we extend coverage through a vetted partner network. Every partner works under a master service agreement holding them to our standards for training, insurance, reporting, and professionalism.
Either way, you get one account manager, one contract, and the same reporting systems nationwide — more than 500 guards in the field.
