For high-net-worth families in Vancouver, security is not about living in fear. It is about knowing that the people and places that matter most are looked after properly.
At Cornerstone Security & Transport, we design residential security programs for families who want peace of mind without putting their lives on pause. Our top priority is to keep your family, home, and day-to-day routines protected while maintaining the utmost discretion and professionalism.
The Reality Of Risk For Vancouver Families
If you are reading this, you probably already know that your home is more than an address. It is a point of visibility. Staff, vendors, deliveries, travel routines, online footprints and smart-home devices all create openings that someone with intent could look to exploit.
For most families, the concern is not a Hollywood-style threat. It is the quiet things:
- Curious people knowing too much about where you live and when you are home
- Unwanted attention around your children’s routines
- Service providers who are inside the house but not properly vetted
- Online information that makes it easy to identify your vehicles, properties or habits
A good security partner does not respond with fear. They respond with structure, planning and a team you feel comfortable having close to your family.
Starting With A Clear Assessment
Before anyone suggests extra guards or equipment, we start by understanding your world.
Through our Shield Master Process, we take a structured look at:
- How your home and property are laid out
- Who comes and goes, and how often
- How your family moves between home, school, work and travel
- What technology is already in place and how it is used
- Where you feel most exposed today
This part of the work happens in the background, handled quietly and with full discretion. For many families, it is the first time they have seen all of these pieces on one page. From there, we can talk about what actually needs to change and what does not.
Building A Residential Security Plan Around Your Life
Once we understand your situation, we design a layered plan that fits the way you live.
That often includes a mix of:
- Perimeter and property coverage: Thoughtful use of cameras, lighting and patrols that support privacy instead of turning your home into a fortress.
- Controlled access to the home: Clear protocols for staff, vendors and guests, so you know who is on the property and why they are there.
- Family routines and movement: Support for school runs, airport transfers, dinners out and time at secondary properties, with the right level of executive protection when needed.
- Household coordination: Simple guidelines for staff on what to share, what not to share and how to respond if something does not feel right.
Every plan is tailored. Some families want a strong visible presence. Others prefer support that is almost invisible. Our role is to match the coverage to your comfort level while keeping the risk profile in view.
The People Inside Your Security Program
For most, the real decision is not whether to hire security, but who they are trusting to stand closest to their family.
Cornerstone is a boutique firm. That is by design. It allows our leadership to stay close to every major account and to be selective about who represents the brand.
Our agents are:
- Highly vetted, with full licensing and background checks
- Required to have ongoing training under programs recognized by ASIS International and NABA
- Many of our agents are current or former high-level athletes who understand discipline, teamwork and performing under pressure
Just as important, they are chosen for temperament. Your family will spend time around these people. They need to be calm, respectful and able to read a room. We train for communication, discretion and customer service, not only for physical response.
Local Knowledge That Actually Matters
There is a difference between reading a map of Vancouver and knowing the city.
Cornerstone was built here. Our founder, Justice Osei, has lived and worked in Vancouver for years and built the company with this city as the starting point. That local grounding shows up in practical ways:
- Understanding how different neighbourhoods move at different times of day
- Knowing which routes make sense when you need both privacy and efficiency
- Having relationships with local venues, service providers and partners
For families who split time between multiple properties or spend a lot of time in the city, that knowledge turns into smoother days and fewer surprises.
Quiet Coverage, Not Constant Disruption
The right residential security should lower the temperature in your home, not raise it.
In practice, that means:
- Agents who support your household staff instead of getting in the way
- Protection that adapts to your schedule rather than forcing you into a rigid routine
- Honest conversations about where visible presence is useful and where subtle coverage is better
Most of our clients want their children, guests and extended family to feel comfortable, not watched. We build with that in mind.
When You Are Ready To Talk Next Steps
If you are already working with a family office or estate manager, we are used to joining an existing team. If you are starting from scratch, we can help you think through the first moves.
The next step is a confidential conversation. We will walk through your current situation, listen to your concerns and explain how our Shield Master Process would apply to your home.
No two households are the same. Your security program should reflect that.
