Guardian Protection acquired approximately 6,000 customer accounts from Chorus SmartSecure LLC, a privately owned company that has operated since 2019. Chorus has locations in Texas (formerly operating as BSG) and in Alabama, where it installs monitored residential and commercial security systems.

In the coming months, Chorus customers will transition from Chorus’ third-party monitoring center to Guardian’s U.L.-certified, Five Diamond accredited monitoring facilities and in-house customer services.

As part of this agreement, Chorus will continue to serve its markets as an authorized Guardian Protection dealer, creating a partnership approach that combines Chorus’ local sales, marketing and operations expertise with Guardian’s national scale, in-house monitoring capabilities and customer support resources. The acquisition will grow Guardian’s presence in Austin and San Antonio and help expand Guardian’s brand to Alabama.

This acquisition marks the fifth for Guardian since 2021 and plans are underway to continue its strategy.

“We have been very thoughtful and deliberate with our acquisition approach, focusing on opportunities that complement our account base and provide us strategic opportunities for continued growth,” said Bryan Cipoletti, president, Guardian Protection. “I expect to continue pursuing acquisition opportunities that make sense for us.”

Rob Hardman, president, Chorus, added, “From the beginning, our aim has been to deliver ‘smart security, made simple’ with a focus on a strong customer experience. This partnership with Guardian maximizes that commitment and brings additional scale, resources and monitoring expertise that align with our commitment to bring harmony to the lives of our customers. We’re grateful to continue serving our expanding market as an authorized Guardian security provider and prepared to support a smooth, coordinated transition for every customer.”
