What Does 24-Hour Security Cost?
True 24-hour security coverage means your post is staffed at all times β including nights, weekends, and public holidays. This requires multiple guards rotating through the post, which is reflected in the monthly cost.
24-Hour shift structures & monthly costs:
- 3 x 8-hour shifts: SAR 9,000β13,500/month (3 guards)
- 2 x 12-hour shifts: SAR 9,500β14,000/month (2 guards + overlap)
- Single dedicated 24hr post: SAR 8,500β12,000/month
The most cost-effective option for most clients is the 2 x 12-hour shift rotation, providing full coverage with only two regular guards per post and clear day/night responsibility.
