Sunstates Security has earned a spot on TIME and Statista's inaugural America's Best Private Companies 2026 list, reinforcing its standing as one of the top providers of commercial security guard services in Boston. The recognition highlights the company's investment in officer training and site-specific security programs across the region.
BOSTON, Aug. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Businesses searching for reliable, fully licensed Boston security guard services now have another reason to consider Sunstates Security, which TIME and Statista just named to their first America's Best Private Companies 2026 list.
The honor is awarded to companies that demonstrate enhanced employee satisfaction and broader societal impact, providing local property managers and business owners with an independent signal of workplace quality beyond the guards who protect their sites.
What Do Local Businesses Look for in a Commercial Guard Provider?
Many Boston organizations struggle to identify a reputable local guard provider capable of appropriately staffing a site without sacrificing oversight. Sunstates Security addresses that gap by licensing and background-checking every officer, building site-specific security programs around each facility's actual risk profile and keeping management teams responsive once a contract begins.
Organizations evaluating commercial security guards in Boston typically look for a few consistent things before requesting a proposal:
- Local coverage and licensing: A quality provider trains officers to meet Massachusetts requirements and keeps supervisors nearby to oversee day-to-day performance.
- Site-specific programs: Security teams build each plan around a facility's layout, traffic patterns and risk factors rather than a one-size-fits-all post order.
- Cost transparency: Clearly outlined pricing and staffing levels matter before a contract begins, so decision-makers can compare value across options.
What Does the TIME Recognition Mean for Sunstates' Service in Boston?
This TIME accolade caps a big year of recognitions for the company, arriving just after three straight Forbes Best Employers titles and several perfect 5/5 workplace ratings from U.S. News & World Report. Nationally, the provider ranked No. 51 out of 500 companies on the list, claiming the No. 1 spot among North Carolina firms. That national standing follows a 25% annual growth rate that the company has sustained over the past 10 years.
"Being named one of America's Best Private Companies is a testament to our incredible team members," says Roberta Scoblick, Chief Growth Officer. "Earning this recognition confirms that when you invest deeply in your people and provide dependable, elite solutions, you create measurable value for everyone involved."
The reinvestment extends to an expanded benefits package, a partnership with WorkStep that lets officers flag concerns directly to local management and free Galileo telehealth access for eligible team members.
Sunstates has also expanded its Leadership Candidate Program and Sunstates Security Academy, which provide those same team members with structured paths into supervisory roles, leading to steadier coverage for its clients.
"Since 1998, Sunstates Security has established a reputation for providing excellent customer service and quality work environments while being recently recognized as one of America's top 10 largest security providers," the company says. That combination of scale, training investment and management accountability gives the organization a credible benchmark for Boston security guard services when comparing local providers before requesting proposals.
