Residential Security Services in Florida
A complete residential security program for high-net-worth homeowners and estates. Assessment, access control, staff vetting, systems, and optional on-site licensed coverage.
Residential security services protect the place where principals and their families are most predictable. The home is the address that appears in data broker databases, the routine that can be surveilled, and the physical space where a family's exposure is highest. Praetorian delivers residential security programs across Florida for primary residences, secondary homes, and high-value estates. Every program starts with a written assessment, moves through access control and systems, and scales up to on-site licensed coverage when the threat profile requires it.
Residential Security Assessment and Audit
Every program begins with a written assessment conducted by an experienced protection professional, not a checklist technician. We examine perimeter and approach, entry points and vehicle access, camera and alarm coverage, interior lockdown readiness, safe room feasibility, household staff protocols, vendor and delivery access, and communication redundancy. The deliverable is a branded report with prioritized recommendations your household manager, architect, or security director can act on immediately. Assessments stand alone as a service and also anchor every ongoing residential engagement.
Access Control, CCTV, and Alarm System Coordination
Most residences have systems. Fewer have the protocols and architecture behind them. Praetorian coordinates access control design (keys, codes, biometrics, fob hierarchies), CCTV coverage and blind-spot analysis, alarm zone configuration, and integration between smart-home and security systems. We work with the installers your family already trusts; we do not sell hardware. The goal is a residence where who gets in and when is documented, enforced, and regularly audited.
Household Staff Vetting and Vendor Access
Most residential breaches involve someone who already had access. Housekeepers, nannies, landscapers, pool technicians, and delivery drivers rotate through the home on a predictable schedule. Praetorian conducts background screening for permanent staff and access protocols for recurring vendors. We also build visitor management procedures for social events, contractors, and medical appointments so that the household manager has a written, repeatable framework instead of ad-hoc decisions.
On-Site Coverage, Family Details, and Event Security
When the threat profile warrants, residential programs scale up to on-site coverage. That can mean overnight operators, a family detail for school runs and activities, event-driven deployments for weddings or major events held at the residence, or 24-hour coverage during periods of elevated exposure. Every operator is a W-2 employee of Praetorian Executive Protection LLC, a Florida Class B licensed Security Agency (License B3600136), holding appropriate Class D or Class G licensure and covered under agency workers' compensation and general liability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are residential security services?
A complete program protecting a primary residence, secondary home, or estate. Services include physical assessments, access control design, CCTV and alarm coordination, staff vetting, privacy planning, emergency protocols, and optional on-site licensed coverage. It is a program, not a product.
How much does residential security cost in Florida?
A residential security assessment typically runs $3,500 to $12,000 depending on property size, complexity, and depth of analysis. Ongoing programs vary widely based on whether on-site coverage is required. See our executive protection cost page for detailed pricing ranges and what drives them.
Do you work with existing household staff?
Yes. Praetorian integrates with existing household managers, estate managers, and trusted staff rather than replacing them. We bring assessment, protocols, and licensed operators where needed. The relationship with your household runs through the people your family already trusts.
Do you handle residential security during hurricane season?
Yes. Florida residential programs include hurricane protection planning: pre-season assessments, evacuation protocols, stand-behind coverage during a named storm, and post-storm overwatch while contractors, insurance adjusters, and utility crews access the property. See our hurricane protection service for detail.
Is Praetorian licensed to provide residential security in Florida?
Yes. Praetorian Executive Protection LLC is a Florida Class B licensed Security Agency (License B3600136). Every on-site operator is a W-2 employee holding an active Class D or Class G license and is covered under agency workers' compensation and general liability insurance.
