Basic electronic security system (but not connected to the police, obviously). Some cameras, but mostly armed guards patrolling the grounds, plus the martial skills of the family themselves. And even the maids and butlers pack heat, as an extra precaution.

Most of the security these days for Cardamom Manor is based on reputation. After what usually happens to people who attack them (see the stories of Rowan Street and the Glass Hearts), nobody in town has the guts to storm their own manor. And even if they did, Sienna and Trigo are both extremely scary combatants, even Ochre in his old age is a fairly durable old man.

Also, it's not as common knowledge, but Opal could let loose all kinds of nasty surprises on would-be invaders.

(P.S.  If you want anyone to vote for letting Vale live, she should probably avoid killing any guards on the way in.  Knockouts are one thing, but no murdered Cardamom employee goes to the morgue alone.)
