Private security refers to individuals or organizations that offer security-related services for compensation. This includes both self-employed individuals (such as independent security consultants or contractors) and funded business entities (such as security companies or firms) that provide services to private clients for a fee. These services may include guarding, patrolling, risk assessments, investigations, alarm monitoring, or other protective activities.
