Portland-based Safeguard Security is a security company that provides fire watch and asset protection services, primarily at new construction sites. Over its 17-year history, the 100 percent minority-owned firm has grown to 35 employees and reported $3.1 million in revenue in its most recent fiscal year. Led by President Hasan Artharee, the company has built a reputation for reliability and professionalism while serving commercial and institutional clients across the region.

Safeguard Security’s recent accomplishments include securing high-profile project sites such as Nike’s LeBron James Building, multiple Portland Public Schools modernizations and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in downtown Portland. These engagements reflect the trust placed in the firm and its ability to protect complex, high-visibility sites.

The company focuses on sustainable growth by expanding its client base, strengthening partnerships and investing in workforce development through training, certifications and professional advancement opportunities. Safeguard Security emphasizes fair wages, recruitment and promotion of individuals from underrepresented communities, and community engagement through mentorship and local partnerships.

Artharee said being a minority business owner means creating opportunity where it has historically been limited and building pathways for economic growth and representation while maintaining a commitment to excellence, equity and community service.
