Protective Infrastructure for Clients Who Can’t Afford Failure

Our Promise

We don’t just place guards. We solve problems before they turn into press releases.

How It Started

Diamond Strategic Solutions (DSS) delivers estate-grade protection, secure fallback planning, and private risk response services for clients who can’t afford second chances.

Founded in 2022, DSS serves Northern California and beyond with quiet precision, trusted discretion, and a relationship-first approach.

We support estate heads, private clients, and trusted teams with real-time protection—armed, unarmed, mobile, and embedded.

What Sets Us Apart

We built DSS around three things:
People. Relationships. Shared values.

In an industry often driven by turnover and quick contracts, we take the opposite approach. We invest in our team. 

We protect our clients like they’re our own. And we operate with integrity, even when no one’s watching.

This shows in our retention, referrals, and results. Our clients stay with us because our people do, too.

What We Handle

DSS supports family offices, estate heads, and their teams with:

  • Armed & Unarmed Security

  • Estate & Executive Protection

Josiah Van Puffelen,
Founder & President

I’m a former Recon Marine with over a decade in high-threat environments from combat zones to corporate boardrooms.

Today, I lead Diamond Strategic Solutions, a veteran-owned protective services firm trusted by those who live and work in the highest arenas of consequence.




Our clients, executives, high-net-worth families, and select individuals, demand more than security. They expect absolute confidentiality, flawless execution, and problems solved before they become headlines.

At DSS, we work under the same principles I lived in uniform: integrity, readiness, discretion, and decisive action. Whether safeguarding an estate, protecting a principal in motion, or orchestrating a rapid-response operation, we move first, finish quietly, and leave nothing unresolved.

We’re not the ones you see. We’re the reason nothing happens.

Why We Exist

Not If — When

We’ve seen what happens when fallback plans don’t exist — or worse, when they exist only on paper.

Already There

One estate lead once called at 2:14 AM. No keys. No plan. No idea who was on shift. We were already there.

The Origin

Built to replace the illusion of readiness with real, defensible protection — trusted by those who can’t afford exposure.

Referral Only

We’ve seen what happens when fallback plans don’t exist — or worse, when they exist only on paper.
