Safeguard Division Expands Security Service to Residential Market

DALLAS--(Business Wire)--
Safeguard Security Holdings, Inc. (OTC:SSHS), a provider of corporate and
industrial security systems and personnel, announced today that it has expanded
its services into the extensive high-rise residential market through its SGI
Protective Services division in Dallas, Texas. The business unit is expected to
grow rapidly through its existing relationships with its commercial clients,
which have real estate holdings in the high-rise residential market.

The newly formed division specializes in guard and patrol services to the luxury
high-rise residential properties located in downtown, midtown and uptown Dallas.
The DFW metroplex is experiencing a tremendous amount of newly completed
residential construction projects in its urban areas; and in all apartment
styles including luxury high-rises, condos, townhomes, and lofts. Many
properties were completed in 2009, and more properties will be completed in
2010, thus providing a substantial need for specialized security services.

Safeguard`s CEO, R. Michael Lagow, stated, "Our strategic plan is to diversify
our revenue base and grow our wholly owned business units organically with our
existing sales staff, and through acquisitions. SGI`s new residential security
division is indeed in step with our overall strategic plan and promises to bring
another $1.5 million in profitable revenue to our firm in 2010. Our existing
client base presented this opportunity to us, so we can`t take full credit for
entering into this new market." Lagow added, "We have also expanded our
SEARCHglobal division, which specializes in web-based background checks, and we
will be making announcements within the next few days regarding our most recent
acquisition. These two expanded service units are accretive to the Company`s
overall value and supports Safeguard`s long-term development strategy."
