Our Story
We Built the Network
Security Needed
365 Network exists because finding a trusted, verified security company shouldn't take days of phone calls and guesswork. We built the platform we wished existed — and now it connects thousands of businesses with professional security providers every day.
Our Story
Built from a Real Problem in the Security Industry
The security industry is full of talented, professional companies — but for years, finding the right one has been frustratingly difficult. Businesses relied on word of mouth, outdated directories, or cold calls to unverified providers. Security companies, meanwhile, spent more time chasing leads than delivering their services.
365 Network was founded to solve exactly that problem. We set out to create a professional, trusted marketplace where businesses of every size could quickly find verified, SIA-licensed security companies — and where security firms could build a credible online presence and connect with clients who genuinely need their services.
“We didn’t just build a directory. We built a professional network — one where trust, verification, and quality are built into every listing from day one.”
Today, 365 Network is home to hundreds of verified security providers across six specialist categories, serving thousands of businesses from corporate giants to independent event organisers. And we’re just getting started.
What We Stand For
Our Mission & Values
Everything we build, every decision we make, comes back to four core principles that define how 365 Network operates.
Trust Through Verification
Every security company on 365 Network is verified before they go live. We check SIA licensing, insurance, and company registration so that businesses can connect with confidence — not guesswork.
Genuine Connections
We're not a lead-generation machine or a call centre. We facilitate direct, transparent connections between businesses and security providers — no middlemen, no markups, no hidden agendas.
Growth for Providers
We believe professional security companies deserve a platform that works as hard as they do. 365 Network gives providers visibility, credibility, and access to a steady stream of serious enquiries.
Safety as a Standard
Security isn't optional — it's essential. We hold every provider on our platform to a high standard because the businesses trusting them deserve nothing less than the best.
Our Journey
How 365 Network Grew
From an idea born out of frustration to a growing national platform — here’s how we got here.
Our founders — with backgrounds in security operations and technology — identified a recurring problem: businesses couldn't easily find reliable, licensed security providers, and good security companies were invisible online. After countless conversations with both sides of the industry, the concept for 365 Network was born: a professional marketplace built specifically for the security sector.
After months of development and close consultation with security industry professionals, we launched 365 Network with our first 50 verified providers across three service categories. Early feedback from both businesses and security companies shaped everything that came next — from how search filters work to how company profiles are structured and verified.
Word spread quickly. By the end of 2024 we had grown to over 300 verified security companies, expanded to six service categories, and facilitated connections for businesses ranging from small charities needing event security to national property management groups with multi-site requirements. We also introduced our review system, giving businesses the ability to rate providers they'd hired through the platform.
365 Network now hosts over 500 verified security providers and serves thousands of businesses every month. We continue to invest in the platform — adding smarter search, direct messaging, and in-depth company profiles — with a simple goal: make finding trusted security services effortless, every single day of the year. The best is still to come.
