15 Top security companies in United Arab Emirates.

top security, best security company uae, good security company

15 top security companies in UAE- The UAE security companies operate under the two security regulations.

1). PSBD (private security business department) and

2). DPS (Department of Protective System).

  • The PSBD’s new name is PSCOD (Private Security Companies Organization Department) and
  • DPS’s new name is SIRA (Security Industry Regulatory Authority).

The PSBD guards work in 6 emirates including Abu Dhabi and DPS guards work in Dubai. Although two security departments existed in UAE the training and enforcement policy has similar in nature to both systems.

The UAE government implemented new security regulations in 2001 to brand the security service providers more responsible for keeping the community safe.

The security companies operating in Dubai require a license from DPS and the companies that operate in other states, except Dubai must have a license from PSBD.

Only the companies which have an operating license from both departments can provide security services all over the UAE.

Security companies function in the UAE;

There are hundreds of Security Companies with more than 30 thousand security officers protecting the people, private properties, and government entities.

Security companies provide different types of services except the man guarding, such as general building protection, cash in transit, cash center security, hotel, hospital, bank, event, and critical infrastructure security services in UAE.

Security officers in the UAE have considered highly professional compared to the other countries in GCC and they earn a higher salary than their counterparts in the Gulf region.

Even though security companies pay their employee according to the PSBD or DPS regulation but when it comes to overtime pays it remains different and depends on the company.

So, working with an excellent security company, you should not worry about your salary, overtime, accommodation, vacation, leave, health insurance, and other compensation.

Why some large companies are not listed here?

I researched the companies mostly through its employee because they only know very well about them.

Choosing the best company in our list, we have analyzed using several indicators such as salary pay in time, overtime pay ratio, company reputation, company size, employee health and life insurance, vacation and gratuity including accommodation stander.

You might hear the name of the large security companies, but I have not included them in the best list of security companies in UAE because they have some missed management records.

Although the company has a large number of employees, clients, a good reputation, and a profitable organization, that is irrelevant for this post because I am focusing on how far the company has progressed in terms of employee welfare.

I don’t want to disclose the company’s name publicly, but some well-known organizations do not care much about the employees. We have visited their accommodations are not stander as per PSBD/SIRA regulation.

I have chosen the name of the companies for this article depending on how good they are for the client and employees.

Some small companies with 500 security guards have been included in our list because they pay a good salary, provide stander accommodation and timely vacation for the employees.

If you are curious, about the best security company in UAE, this post may fulfill your quest for this topic.

Here are the top 15 Security companies in UAE


  1. G4S SECURE SOLUTIONS L.L.C

There may be few people in the world who do not know about the group 4 security company.

Almost everywhere, USA, Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America, it has operated for providing man guarding services as well as design and installation of the electronic security system.

The company founded in 2004 and has its headquarters in London. After assimilation between Group 4 Flank a Denmark security company and Securicor Security Services Company in London, the company became a G4S security company.

As we all know it is a leading security provider in the world but now it has equally understood in the field of outsourcing such as project management, risk management, other technical solution, etc.

The G4S company’s roles in the UAE

G4S has five fully operational branches and more than 10 thousand employees across the UAE. It is not only a leader in man guarding service but also integrated with the outsourcing services.

The company provides a safe and secure way of delivering its services to private organizations and government departments.

If you join this company, you should not worry about the salary which would pay in time, and the overtime payment ratio is a bit higher than other companies in the UAE.

Accommodations for the employees are excellent, even though there is some outcry on career advancement it is one of the professionally managed companies in UAE.

2. SECURIGUARD MIDDLE EAST – LCC

Securiguard Middle East has 17 years of history as a private security company in UAE. Established in 2005 with the primary objective of providing professional security guards in the private sector. Now it has heavily dependent on business with the UAE government.

Securiguard Middle East offers Manned Guarding, Escort, Access Control, Event management plus Incidents and Emergency Management services to its clients.

Before writing this article, I talked to my friends who are working in different locations and found them satisfied with the salary and professional management team. The company gives value to the employee’s contribution.

The payment of overtime, vacation, and medical benefits are the most valuable things the company provides to its employees as per the UAE labor law.

Securiguard Middle East is also one of the private companies which provide MOI guards to the ministry of interior.

  1. TRANSGUARD GROUP

Transguard established in 2001 since then it has been outnumbered its competitors in winning the business contract all over the UAE.

Peer competitor of this company is G4S but In terms of employees and clients, the company has already become the largest service provider in uniform security, cash handling, and integrated facility services.

Although the company has more than 65 thousand employees It has run by a professional management team. Accommodation and transportation are free, but the employees have to pay for food.

Timely payment of salary, vacation opportunity, health, and life insurance are pros for this company.

  1. SECURITAS UAE L.L.C

Securitas is a multi-national security company just like G4S. It was born in Sweden in 1934, and today it has 320 thousand employees in 53 countries in Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Middle East.

In UAE, this company does not have many clients just like Transguard, but it provides impressive services to its business partners. The company mainly provides man and security integrated services in the Middle East.

Working with this organization, you would benefit from a good salary, free laundry, and free accommodation, additionally, you would love to work with professional supervisors and managers.

  1. Hemaya Security

Hemaya is a semi-government security company not entirely independent as a private security firm. It was established with the special permission of the Minister Of interior and Deputy Prime Minister of UAE His Highness Sheikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan in 2009.

The intention of establishing Hemaya was to support the police forces in the UAE. Today the company is mainly involved in working with UAE police forces and has some corporate companies of its clients.

The company’s services have included Saaed Traffic Systems, Saaed Smart Systems, Hemaya Security Services, National Ambulance, and Emirates Fire and Rescue Company.

Most of the employees of this company are the veteran army or police officers who earn more than regular guards in UAE.

  1. Middle East Security

Elias Mr. Shalameh sponsored this company in 2000. Since then, it has been retaining a leading position in the security service industries in Abu Dhabi. It is another security company that provides MOI guards to the ministry of interior in UAE.

Most of the shareholders of Middle East security are high-ranking officers of the UAE armed forces. Just like other security companies in UAE it provides a uniform guard to the hospital, banks, retail stores, education institutions,s and government offices.

At the request of the clients, the company has available armed guards and bomb detector specialists.

Personal health and life insurance for each guard, as well as timely pay, are appealing aspects of working for this organization.

  1. Spark security

It is another leading private security service provider headquarters located in Abu Dhabi. This company has a license from PSBD and DPS for uniform security guards.

The organization’s primary lines of business are physical security services, event security management, and security consulting. More than 5000 security personnel are working with 340 clients in the current stage.

Most of the top security companies in UAE venture with the international security corporation but the spark is a local company that is good at providing salary in time, a yearly vacation, and reasonable accommodation facilities.

  1. AL JABER– COIN SECURITY COMPANY

Al Jaber- Coin established in 2004 for providing security services in the United Arab Emirates and the Middle East.

It is a subsidiary firm of the Al Jabber group that merged with Protea coin security services in its founding year.

As the largest security company in the UAE, al-Jaber provides skilled security professionals to private and government entities. The company compensates its employees in accordance with the country’s security regulations.

It has validly licensed by both security department PSCOD and SIRA. This company is not as large as the companies which are number 1-3, but it is the right place to work for security professionals.

  1. A.J security and safety consultant

A.J security is a medium-size security company in UAE. Many people might not be heard much about this company in just the past three years before.

Today the company has partnered as a security guarantor to many public and private organizations.

The company website doesn’t look professional like other corporate companies, but it is licensed to deliver security consultant services.

Although clients do not pay invoices to A.J security within the current month, the company pays salaries on time to the employees.

  1. Arkan security services

It is one of the best security companies in Dubai. It comes on number nine because the company has not much involved in PSBD guard services. In the SIRA system, it is a good company with the largest workforce supplier in Dubai.

It is a sister company of Dubai property holding. Arkan security doesn’t require business from other clients because Dubai property holding has developed many real state properties itself.

It is enough to thrive Arkan security inside Dubai holding infrastructures. Employees no need to worry about the salary and leaves that all are fine.

  1. TRUST SECURITY SERVICES

It is one of the old and most mature security companies in the UAE established in 1993. The company mainly provides security services to various Establishments like Educational Institutions, Shopping Malls.  And Government Offices.

In 2002, the company restructured and started a business name Abu Sultan Security Services LLC.

After then the company got an exclusive professional license from the Ras-Al Khaimah government. Now the name has been changed to trust Security. The company is old and provides security services as gold.

  1. ARMAGUARD VALUABLES MANAGEMENT LLC

Armaguard is one of the leading secure currency management security companies in Australia. It came in UAE joint venture with Etihad Airways one of the largest airlines in Abu Dhabi.

Although it has a small number of personal presence in UAE, providing high-quality service to protect valuable cargo with Armor vehicles covering all seven emirates.

The company mainly focuses on securing high precious cargo rather than providing guarding services to the institutions in UAE.

14. BRINKS GLOBAL SERVICES LTD

Brinks is another logistic securing company in UAE just like Armaguard. It was established in the USA since then it is a master of risk management and secure logistics around the 110 countries including the UAE.

The company provides the highest level of security services for the central banks, financial institutions, governments, and the diamond and jewelry industries.

  1. Landmark security

Landmark Security Company has been servicing 2004 in the UAE in the sector of the private security industry.

After establishing itself as a security service provider more than a decade ago, the company has focused on providing quality services to its clients throughout the UAE.

Today this company provides mostly integrated services which is the most reliable and cost-effective security method to protect property and information.

In conclusion: The international security company is the best place to make a career for the security guards in UAE. If the company is Emirati owned this can be the second option, but the company which is held by Asian nationals should put on the third option.

    • This company is not a large security company in the UAE. When you talk the salary is not paid in time.

      If it did in the past would not do in future because UAE government has implemented new regulation for the employees’ salary must paid before 7th of every month. It has no choice rather than abide by it.
      Regarding the accommodation stander not only this companies but many small size security have not provide according to psbd stander it must address from government level.

  6. Hello sir,
