About Integrated Security Solutions

Built on Experience. Focused on the Future.

Our Story

Since 1998, Integrated Security Solutions (ISS-KY) has helped multi-site organizations protect their people, assets, and operations through innovative security technology and exceptional customer service.

Headquartered in Nicholasville, Kentucky, ISS is a privately held, family-owned business providing nationwide deployment, installation, maintenance, and support for video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, structured cabling, and intelligent security solutions. Today, we support more than 30,000 customer locations throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, and Mexico.

ISS was founded by Charlie Ashford and Shelly Osborne, whose combined experience in retail operations, point-of-sale systems, and security technology established the customer-first culture that continues to define our company today. Their vision created a business built on integrity, technical expertise, and long-term partnerships.

That foundation has been carried forward by the next generation of leadership. Under the direction of President, CEO, Co-Owner David Ashford and Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, Co-Owner Beth Rose, ISS has evolved into a trusted national integration partner for some of the country’s largest retail and commercial organizations. Together, they continue to invest in technology, operational excellence, and a culture centered on accountability, innovation, and delivering measurable value to every customer.
