CIS Security

Because Your Safety Isn't Optional — one of Lebanon's most established security companies, protecting Lebanon since 1990.

The Company

Thirty-Six Years of Standing Post

CIS Security was founded in 1990 by Milad Kfoury and has been under the operational command of Carlos Kfoury, as GM/CEO, since 2009. Its core product has never changed: trained, uniformed, licensed security personnel, deployed around the clock, backed by rapid operational support — across residential complexes, commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, high-value retail, and special events.

The company operates across all nine Lebanese governorates under an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality system covering recruitment, training, deployment, and supervision. Its past institutional record — contracts that included UN agencies, banks, and embassies — was earned through decades of delivery, with references available upon request.

Alongside guarding, CIS delivers the technical services that carry Carlos's personal expertise: TSCM sweeps, counter-drone deployment, executive protection, and risk assessment — and publishes the CIS Lebanon Security Index™, Lebanon's first daily security intelligence system.

Strategic Read

Why CIS Matters

Security companies are easy to start and brutally hard to sustain. CIS has operated continuously through civil unrest, the 2012 counter-terrorism case that put the founding family at the center of national events, the 2019 economic collapse, and the 2020 Beirut Port explosion — without suspending operations for a single day. In a trust industry, that continuity is the product.

For the wider portfolio, CIS is the operational bedrock: dozens of active sites function as a distributed sensing network feeding the Security Index, and thirty-six years of institutional relationships anchor everything Carlos builds on top.
