Company

Company overview

Our Bond sells security services to organizations seeking to protect employees, students, residents and assets. Customers pay for customized services such as on-site and off-site guards, asset protection and threat assessments. Physical security services account for most revenue, and business customers provide the majority of sales.

The company also sells subscriptions for personal security before an emergency develops. Through the Bond App, members can request assistance; its cloud platform uses phone and other information to detect potential risks, while Bond Command Centers and Personal Security Agents contact members and coordinate responses. Individuals subscribe directly, employers buy annual subscriptions for employees, and consumer brands can buy or subsidize access for their customers. These cloud-based services contribute a smaller share of revenue.

Revenue is concentrated in two customers, with one supplying more than half. The app-based service depends on AWS and other third-party networks. State licensing requirements govern its security officers and agencies, while privacy laws constrain how it collects and uses personal information and can require changes to its services.

Our Bond's results depend chiefly on institutions' demand for physical security and the cost of outsourced security delivery, rather than broader telecom or cloud markets.

  • Motorola Solutions sells panic buttons and integrated safety systems that overlap with the security services Our Bond sells to institutions, though Bond emphasizes preventing emergencies rather than responding to them. Watch Motorola's Video and Command Center sales as a read on safety-system demand, rather than a direct measure of demand for Bond's preventative services.

    Motorola Solutions' report will show institutional buying of video and Command Center safety systems, a market-demand signal for Our Bond's institutional security business but not a direct measure of demand for its preventative services.

    Most of Our Bond's revenue comes from physical security services, so this report will show whether service revenue is outpacing delivery costs and reducing cash used in operations.
