Security operations in Ecuador.
Security Alliance runs two operations in Ecuador, a permanent office in Quito and a second operation in Guayaquil, staffed and managed directly rather than subcontracted, supporting United States embassy operations and commercial clients with sites across the country.
In Country
Quito in the highlands, Guayaquil on the coast.
Ecuador is where the cross-border argument gets practical. The capital sits in the Andes, the main port sits on the coast, and the mining, energy and industrial sites that need covering are rarely close to either one. Remote-site security here is a labor and logistics problem before it is a security problem.
01
United States embassy operations
Local guard force work supporting United States embassy operations in Ecuador, alongside commercial clients.
02
Quito, permanently staffed
Milton Lopez, Project Manager, runs our Quito operation. Recruitment, screening, training and supervision happen in country, not by email from another time zone.
03
Guayaquil, up and running
Our second Ecuadorian operation came to us as a provider transition and now runs inside our own management line, under our vetting, our post orders and our supervision. Guayaquil is the country’s largest city and its principal port, which puts us where much of the commercial and industrial work actually sits.
04
Built for remote sites
Gate and perimeter control, vehicle and materials inspection, contractor processing and roving patrol - with rotations and transport planned as part of the program rather than left to the client.

Common Questions
Questions buyers ask us.
Where in Ecuador do you operate?
We have a permanent office in Quito and a second operation in Guayaquil, and we staff client sites elsewhere in the country from those two bases. Tell us where the site is and we will confirm what we can deliver directly.
Is this useful for mining or energy operations?
That is much of what remote-site work in the region looks like: gate and perimeter control, contractor and materials processing, journey support, and reporting a corporate head office can actually read.
Are you a local partner or your own operation?
Our own. Security Alliance staffs and manages this office inside our own management line, under the same vetting standard, the same post-order discipline and the same reporting conventions used at our United States sites.
Who is the point of contact for a United States parent company?
Miami. A U.S. corporate relationship with operations that continue past the border is the point - one contract, one management team, and one set of reports covering both sides.
Operating in Ecuador?
Tell us where the sites are. We will be straight about what we staff directly, what needs a partner, and what the licensing position is.
