American Security is a privately owned security and investigations firm based in Greenville, South Carolina, founded in 1975 as an entrepreneurial start-up. It has grown into a sizable Southeastern security provider with a large security workforce. The company delivers security services for manufacturing, headquarters, healthcare, and commercial clients across Kentucky, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, with an emphasis on consistent service that supports long-term partnerships.
