Allied Universal provides security and facility services, combining security professionals with smart technology and artificial intelligence. The company's HELIAUS® AI platform is deployed alongside trained security officers, reflecting a model in which physical guarding is integrated with data-driven monitoring and response. Its work spans security officers, guards and facility services, delivered to customers including more than 400 Fortune 500 companies across sectors that depend on protected, well-run sites.
The firm was formed in 2016 through the merger of AlliedBarton Security Services and Universal Services of America, though it traces expertise back to 1957. It operates in over 100 countries and territories and reports annual revenue of $23 billion. With approximately 150,000 team members, Allied Universal is the third-largest private employer in North America and the seventh-largest globally.
Technical work at the company centres on artificial intelligence, smart security technology and facility services technology. The stated approach is to safeguard customers, communities and employees through a blend of people, technology and innovation, rather than guard posts alone. The company is led by chief executive Steve Jones and maintains its corporate site at aus.com.
