About TSS Group
A security company built by a technician, not a salesperson.

linkedin.com/in/cory-franek-I started TSS Group because the relationship got lost.
Most of the bigger security companies these days are owned by private equity. The people who decide the price and the people who actually show up on site barely talk to each other. The original conversation with the customer gets filtered through three layers of management, a CRM ticket, and a project coordinator who has never seen the building. By the time someone is standing at the door with tools, the original intent is already diluted.
That disconnect is what I kept running into. A promise made in a conference room turned into something completely different once it hit the field. The customer felt it. The techs felt it. Everybody knew the relationship had been broken somewhere in the middle.
I wanted the opposite. I wanted the person who first sat down and listened to still be the one accountable when the work started. Same set of eyes. Same standards. No shuffle.
That is why TSS stayed small on purpose. We hold the contracts ourselves. We self-perform most of the installation and programming. When something needs specialized work we bring it in, but the relationship never leaves the room. The quote you get is written by someone who has actually done the work and will still be responsible for it when the dust settles.
If that kind of direct line matters to you, we should talk.

What We Believe
Three opinions that shape how we work. You don't have to agree with them. But you should know them before you hire us.
Right-Size, Don't Oversell
A storage room door doesn't need a $2,000 controller. A parking lot perimeter doesn't need 4K cameras, 1080p with good analytics is fine. We specify the right hardware for the risk profile of each opening and each zone. You pay for what the door actually needs.
Survey Before You Quote
Budgetary pricing gets you within 15-20%. But we've never done a site survey that didn't change the quote, sometimes up, sometimes down. If an integrator quotes without seeing your facility, they're guessing. We don't guess.
Compliance Isn't a Checkbox
NDAA, TAA, FIPS 140-3, FAR 52.219-14, these aren't bureaucratic hurdles. They're the difference between a system that passes a federal audit and one that gets your facility flagged. We build compliance into the design, not bolt it on at the end.
How We Deliver
We are small on purpose. But small does not mean limited. Here is how we stay accountable while still scaling to meet demand.
Prime Contractor & Self-Performance
How We Work
We hold the contract. We own the customer relationship, the quoting, and the delivery. We self-perform installation, programming, and project management. We subcontract specialized work only when it makes sense, fiber splicing, heavy electrical, but the majority of labor is ours.
Scalable Multi-Site Deployment
How We Scale
We are small on purpose, but we scale when the project demands it. We bring established implementation capability to large multi-site deployments, with 24x7 support coverage and the depth to handle enterprise rollouts without losing accountability.
Real Estate & Multi-Property Expertise
Where We Work
We have experience with real estate portfolios and multi-property commercial environments. When an opportunity involves multiple sites, multiple buildings, or phased rollouts, we know how to sequence the work and keep it consistent across every location.
TSS Group LLC is the prime contractor on every federal contract we hold. The contract, the accountability, and the delivery all stay with us.
Let's Talk
If you want to work with an integrator who has actually installed the systems they are quoting, we should talk.
