The Story of iS3: Built on Purpose. Growing with Vision.

Leading with Values, Not Just Products

From a Bonus Room to a Beacon of Excellence

Built on Grit, Driven by Growth

People First, Always

Where Quality Isn’t Optional — It’s Our Standard

From humble beginnings in 2013 to becoming Georgia’s trusted integration partner, iS3’s journey is rooted in purpose, passion, and people. This is the story of how we’ve grown — and where we’re going next.

What Are Core Values?

They’re more than words — they’re the standard we live by.

Core values are the backbone of a great company — not just guiding how we work, but shaping who we hire, how we lead, and what we protect.

At iS3, our values didn't come from a whiteboard session. They came from lived experience. From doing things the right way, even when it's harder. From building a company that puts people first, delivers with pride, and never cuts corners.

As we grow, these values help keep us grounded — making sure the culture we've built doesn't get diluted, and the expectations we set stay consistent from jobsite to jobsite, and office to field.

What Core Values Do For Us:

People First

We put people before process — every time.
Strong relationships and trust are at the heart of everything we do.

Driven

We push forward — through challenges, uncertainty, and change.
Excellence doesn’t chase us — we chase it.

Great Attitude

We show up with optimism, respect, and energy — no matter the task.
Positivity fuels momentum, and momentum fuels success.

Humbly Confident

We know our craft — but we stay grounded, curious, and always learning.
Trust is built through action, not ego.

Strive for Excellence

We don’t do good enough. We do great — or we fix it.
Details matter. Pride matters. And our results speak for themselves.

Our History

The iS3 Journey: From Grit to Growth

A decade of building with pride, values, and purpose.

2013 

2014–2015

2016–2018 

2020 

2021

2023–2024

2013 – Where We Started

iS3 was born out of frustration — a belief that security could be done differently. Better. Smarter. With pride in workmanship and care for people.
It was Mike, Adam, and David:

  • Mike: sales veteran from Johnson Controls, managing accounts like Hartsfield-Jackson Airport

  • Adam: in-house systems lead at the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office

  • David: advanced field tech with deep install expertise

With no funding, no big office — just grit — we launched from Mike's bonus room. Word of mouth led to service calls and subcontract work from larger integrators. Tammy became our first employee, managing the back office while the guys worked in the field.

2014–2015 – Planting Seeds

We focused on quality and built a reputation for responsiveness, integrity, and first-time-right work.

  • Trained techs from scratch — not to unlearn bad habits but to create elite standards

  • Ben emerged as a standout, helping train new hires to carry the iS3 torch

  • Moved into our first small office and began larger subcontracting work — always high quality

2016–2018 – The Runway Years

These were years of momentum and maturity:

  • Awarded the NCR World HQ security buildout

  • Onboarded Dustin, John, Richie, Nick — many still core to our team

  • Grew to 30+ employees

  • Moved into our second office (4,800 sq. ft.), built out by hand

  • Became Atlanta's go-to installer for national integrators

But we knew subcontracting wasn't the future — so we pivoted to go direct to end users. We onboarded top-tier platforms like S2, Avigilon, and Software House to compete at a higher level.

2020 – Core Value in Action: Driven

The leap to end-user work took courage, but COVID tested everything.

  • Overnight, work froze

  • We didn't sit still — we created and launched our own temperature screening solution

  • Landed CDC, NASDAQ, and Cummins as clients

  • Not for PR — but to keep our people working and our clients moving

This was a defining moment — we were Driven.

2021 – A New Chapter

We purchased our headquarters: 8,700 square feet designed to reflect our culture and growth.
Since then, we've:

  • Landed key anchor clients

  • Expanded into new verticals

  • Promoted internal leaders

  • Began rolling out EOS for scalability and accountability

  • Created our presence in the Atlanta market as well known, quality integrator

2023–2024 – Sharpening Focus, Building the Future

As we implement EOS, we've doubled down on clarity and core values.
We've continued to grow carefully — protecting the quality of our work, developing our people, and investing in a training program that will shape the future of iS3.

This Is iS3

A company built on grit, fueled by people, and grounded in purpose.

We've come a long way — from a bonus room with borrowed tools, to a team of builders, thinkers, and leaders shaping the future of security across Georgia and beyond.

But through every season, one thing has stayed the same: our heart.

We care deeply. About the work. About doing things right. About each other.

We don't just show up to do a job — we show up to build something that lasts. We build panels that speak for themselves. Relationships that go deeper than contracts. And a culture that's hard to find — and impossible to fake.

You are the reason we've made it this far. You are the foundation of everything we've built. And together, we will keep showing the world what excellence looks like — not just in our systems, but in our spirit.

Because when challenges rise, so do we.

We are iS3.
