About Us

As of January 2026, High Rise Fire and Security proudly operates under a new name: Scutum.

Founded in 1992, High Rise Fire Protection Corp., now High Rise Fire and Security, has built a strong reputation as a trusted provider of fire alarm, life safety, and security solutions. Headquartered in New York City with a satellite office in Boca Raton, Florida, our team delivers expertly designed, code-compliant, and professionally installed systems that protect people, buildings, and infrastructure throughout the Northeast and Southeast.

High Rise provides a broad range of services, including fire alarm systems, card access systems, camera surveillance systems, test and inspection services, and ongoing maintenance. Our technicians combine deep industry knowledge with local code expertise to ensure every system meets the highest standards of performance and reliability.

In 2020, High Rise Fire and Security joined Scutum, a global leader in security and fire protection with more than 30 years of expertise across North America and Europe, and a growing national footprint across the United States. This partnership expanded our resources, capabilities, and reach while preserving the local expertise and responsive service our clients expect.

What’s changing?
Our name and brand presence, reflecting our full alignment with Scutum.

What’s staying the same?

• The same trusted team in New York and Florida
• The same commitment to expert fire alarm, life safety, and security solutions
• The same dedication to responsive service and long-term client relationships

Now operating as Scutum, we bring expanded capabilities through global expertise and a growing national presence. Our team continues to serve the Northeast and Southeast within the United States with the same integrity, professionalism, and trusted service, while supporting clients across the Midwest and beyond.

We look forward to continuing to protect what matters most for our clients and communities.
