Good security company names sound steady and dependable rather than aggressive: a surname or town with "Security" (Hensley Security Group), a strong image like Ironbark, or a reassuring phrase like Sleep Easy Security.

Strong, not scary
Customers are trusting you with their homes, staff and events, so the best names sound calm and capable. Surnames and towns with "Security" are the classic choice; tough natural images (oak, ironbark, owls, bulldogs) give you a logo; puns suit an alarm fitter better than a guarding firm. Say what you do if you can: "Guarding", "CCTV", "Alarms" or "Fire & Security" helps the right customers find you.
Licences: in the UK, people working as security guards, door supervisors, public-space CCTV operators, key holders and close protection officers need an SIA licence, and firms can join the SIA's Approved Contractor Scheme. Alarm and CCTV installers often gain NSI or SSAIB certification. In the US, most states license security guard companies. Never use words that suggest the police or government, such as "Police" or "Official".
