As a serial entrepreneur, Nils Welin has learned what it takes for a business to be successful. His philosophies have guided him through the creation of several companies.
–When building a company, it is my philosophy to build it scalable from the start. Having 2 or 200 employees should not change how service is delivered.
Nils Welin
One as obvious as important aspect of becoming successful is meeting the clients’ needs. For ProGuard Security Services, this means customizing the company’s security programs for each client.
– The uniqueness in our clients’ security needs requires that we are equally unique in our approach, creating the best security solution for each and every one of them.
Nils Welin
The customization of the security program starts with an in-depth and detailed security threat assessment completed by ProGuard’s trained professionals. Decisions are made with the support of underlying data and statistics, but the relationship developed between the client and the company’s professionals, is just as important in order to ensure that the clients’ goals and objectives are met on a daily basis.
– Our commitment and focus on the development of our employees to their fullest potential set us apart in the industry. One must never lose sight of the human aspect of the business.
