What It Is

HSS, A Tarian Company is an integrated security services provider headquartered in Denver, USA. Its origins and core strengths are centered on security for hospitals and medical campuses, while it also serves high-risk, heavily regulated environments such as aviation and government buildings. It is important to note that the “security” discussed here mainly refers to physical security, security technology integration, emergency management, and personnel training—not typical cybersecurity software such as firewalls, EDR, or cloud security.

Core Capabilities

Its solutions are built around a combination of “people + technology + training + consulting”: expert assessments are first used to establish a security baseline, followed by the design of staffing models, access control, risk mitigation, emergency management, and training programs. In healthcare settings, HSS provides services such as entry and exit control, patrols, visitor screening, temporary badges, active shooter drills for hospital staff, infant abduction drills, violence prevention, and monitoring of high-risk patients. Its SOC can centrally handle alarm monitoring, radio dispatch, emergency communications, access control, video surveillance, patient monitoring, and emergency call boxes. In aviation, its services cover perimeter patrols, employee/vehicle/vendor inspections, exit-lane staffing, and queue management; for government facilities, services include patrols, screening, vehicle inspections, and crowd control.

Compliance and Pricing

On the compliance side, the review notes that HSS can support assessments, gap analyses, and compliance plans for the CMS Emergency Preparedness Final Rule. Its aviation security services follow DHS/TSA requirements and Title 49 CFR Part 1542, while its healthcare team also has experience participating in TJC/DNV surveys. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is expected to be customized based on site assessment, on-site staffing, system integration, SOC coverage, and training scope.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are deep vertical industry experience, especially in hospital security operations; the ability to combine security equipment, personnel response, and training mechanisms; and the capability to manage a client’s in-house security team. Its drawbacks are that public materials lack standardized pricing, SLA details, service coverage areas, and information security certification disclosures. For organizations in China, the service depends heavily on local on-site deployment and the regulatory environment, so its value for cross-border procurement is limited.

Best Fit and Access from China

It is better suited to medium and large hospitals, airports, and government facilities in the United States, as well as organizations that require offline, high-risk security operations. Access from China cannot be determined from the available information and is marked as unknown.
