About SMS Security

SMS Security is a full-service security company based in Toronto, providing trusted protection through licensed personnel, advanced technology, and 24/7 support to residential and commercial clients across the GTA.

At SMS Security, we proudly employ several hundred dedicated professionals, including security officers, supervisors, technicians, managers, and support staff.

Founded in 1988, SMS Security has proudly served the Greater Toronto Area for over 37 years, delivering customized, end-to-end security solutions tailored to the unique needs of our clients. What began as a response to a noticeable gap in the market—a lack of local security providers who prioritized both personalized service and a strong connection to the community—has since grown into one of the region’s most trusted names in security.

From our earliest days, our mission has been clear: to offer reliable, responsive, and professional protection for people, property, and information, backed by a team that truly understands the communities we serve. Over the decades, we’ve evolved with the industry, integrating the latest technology and security practices to stay ahead of emerging threats. Today, we provide comprehensive solutions for a wide range of properties, including condominiums, rental buildings, commercial plazas, hotels, industrial sites, and more.

We rely on two pillars to meet our mission; First are our highly trained, professional security guards—many of whom bring years of experience and a deep understanding of residential and commercial building operations. Whether stationed at the front desk, patrolling premises, or responding to incidents, our guards are known for their vigilance, professionalism, and commitment to safety. Second, we have our team of expert technicians, who maintain and install advanced technological solutions such as CCTV surveillance systems, access control, keyless entry, remote monitoring, and integrated alarm systems. These two pillars of our company come together to ensure a seamless blend of human oversight and smart security infrastructure.

At SMS Security, we don’t just secure buildings—we build lasting partnerships. Our commitment to excellence, local expertise, and community-first approach continues to set us apart in the GTA’s security ecosystem.

Behind Our Logo

Our logo has become recognizable to many across the GTA over the decades we’ve been in business. It features the Moai statues of Easter Island, which symbolize strength, vigilance, and enduring protection—qualities that align closely with our mission at SMS Security.

Just as the Moai were believed to watch over and safeguard their communities, we are dedicated to standing watch over the properties and people we serve. The statues represent our unwavering presence and commitment to providing dependable, round-the-clock security that communities can trust.

The Latin inscription beneath our logo—Vigilatia (Vigilance), Robur (Strength), and Scientia (Knowledge)—reflects the core values that guide every aspect of our work. These principles not only reinforce the symbolism of the Moai, but also define our approach to security: alert and watchful service, dependable protection, and informed, strategic solutions.
