A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
SSC Security Services Corp. is a Canadian-based provider of contract security, facility services, and related risk management solutions. The company operates primarily in the private security services industry, delivering manned guarding, mobile patrol, loss prevention, and integrated facility support services to commercial, institutional, and government clients. Its core revenue is generated through recurring service contracts, particularly in sectors requiring continuous on-site or mobile security presence.
Founded in 1986, SSC Security Services Corp. has evolved from a regional guarding company into a diversified security and facilities services provider with national reach across Canada. The company differentiates itself through a combination of labor-based services, technology-enabled security solutions, and long-term customer relationships, positioning SSC as a mid-market operator competing with both national and multinational security firms.
Business Operations
SSC conducts operations through multiple integrated business units, with its primary operating segments including Security Guarding Services, Mobile Patrol and Alarm Response, Loss Prevention, and Facility Services. These services are delivered under the SSC brand and its operating subsidiaries, with revenues largely derived from long-term service contracts billed on an hourly or fixed-fee basis.
The company’s operations are predominantly domestic, with substantially all revenue generated within Canada. SSC controls operational assets such as vehicle fleets for mobile patrols, workforce management systems, and security technology integrations. Its wholly owned operating subsidiaries include SSC Security Services (Canada) Corp., which serves as the principal operating entity responsible for frontline service delivery.
Strategic Position & Investments
SSC’s strategic direction focuses on organic growth through contract wins in institutional, commercial, and infrastructure-related markets, alongside selective acquisitions of regional security providers. The company has historically pursued tuck-in acquisitions to expand geographic coverage, client rosters, and specialized service capabilities, particularly in loss prevention and mobile security services.
In addition to acquisitions, SSC has invested in workforce training, scheduling technology, and service integration to improve margins and retention in a labor-intensive industry. While the company has explored technology-enabled security solutions, its core strategy remains centered on service execution and client relationship management rather than proprietary hardware or software development.
Geographic Footprint
SSC Security Services Corp. operates primarily across Canada, with a significant presence in Western Canada, Ontario, and British Columbia. The company’s headquarters are located in Canada, and its operational footprint spans urban centers, industrial sites, retail locations, and public-sector facilities nationwide.
The company does not maintain material international operations outside Canada. Its geographic strategy emphasizes dense regional coverage to support mobile patrol efficiency, workforce deployment, and contract scalability within its domestic market.
Leadership & Governance
SSC is led by an executive team with long-standing experience in security services, operations management, and corporate governance. Leadership emphasizes operational discipline, contract profitability, and risk management in a highly regulated and labor-driven industry.
Key executives include:
Doug King – President and Chief Executive Officer
