The executive regulation of the Private Civil Security Guarding Law (Article 2, as amended and published in Umm Al-Qura on 16 May 2025) lists factories and warehouses among the sites that must have 24-hour guarding when the regional police director orders it, following a feasibility study by a licensed security consultancy. The study must be submitted within two months of notification.
Sites supervised by the Supreme Authority for Industrial Security (SAIS) carry their own security requirements. SAIS supervises sectors including petroleum, petrochemicals, gas, electricity, water, mining, chemicals and military industries. Security projects at these facilities pass through staged approvals, from risk assessment to operational readiness, and the level of protection must match the facility's security classification. The law also requires every guarding company's staff to be Saudi.
Two duties sit with the plant itself. Under a SAIS decision announced in May 2019, entities that contract guarding companies must equip all their facilities with cameras to the approved specifications, and a guarding contract is signed or renewed once that is in place. Separately, the Security Surveillance Cameras Law (Royal Decree M/34, 2022) names oil, petrochemical, power and desalination facilities and commercial warehouses among the sites that must install cameras, with penalties for each violation.
Article 3 of the law adds that an entity employing more than 20 guards directly must set up its own security department. Many plants therefore keep an in-house security manager and contract the guard force: your manager sets the rules, our teams run the posts.

Much of a plant's loss leaves on a vehicle: an extra pallet on an outbound load, copper cable hidden in a waste truck, a delivery that arrives short. When trucks pass the gate on the driver's word alone, the gate register becomes a formality instead of a control.
On a normal day a plant admits employees, suppliers, maintenance contractors and visiting engineers through the same gatehouse. Badges get shared, permits expire unnoticed, and when the alarm sounds it is hard to say who is still inside as the muster count begins.
Large sites have fence lines that run for kilometres, with laydown yards that go dark after the day shift. Fence gaps, unlit corners and stretches patrols rarely reach are where intrusion and theft start, out of sight of the main gate.
During a planned maintenance shutdown, a large temporary contractor workforce arrives within days and stays for weeks. Gate volume jumps, extra entry points open, and the regular guard roster is stretched at exactly the moment safety discipline matters most.
Security managers answer to HSE, procurement and, on SAIS-supervised sites, SAIS requirements. Every guard must be Saudi, breaks covered and posts documented, while outdoor posts run through summer heat and long night shifts. A gap in the guarding provider's paperwork becomes the plant's audit finding.
Guards check every inbound and outbound vehicle against its delivery note or material-out pass, inspect the load area as your procedure defines, and record plate, driver, time and pass number in the gate register. Material without a valid pass is held at the gate and reported to your designated contact.
Gatehouse guards verify badges and contractor permits, check expiry dates, issue visitor passes and keep an accurate on-site list, so your emergency muster count starts from a real number.
Scheduled and random patrols, on foot or with patrol vehicles and golf carts on larger sites, cover the fence line, yards, tank farms and storage areas. Each patrol is logged with times and findings, and fence damage, lighting faults or open gates are reported within the same shift.
Where your plant already has a camera system, our guards can staff your control room, watching screens, dispatching patrols to alarms and keeping the occurrence log, so cameras and patrols work as one.
Our teams work to the post orders and procedures your security section sets under SAIS requirements. Guards attend your site induction, covering HSE and PPE rules, permit-to-work awareness, H2S alarms where relevant and emergency muster points, and records are kept ready for your audits. Your security systems are designed and installed by your engineering contractor; we staff and operate the posts around them.
For a planned shutdown or turnaround, we add temporary gate posts, contractor registration desks and extra patrols for the weeks you need, under supervisors who already know your site. Plan early and the surge team arrives already briefed on your site rules.
We walk your gates, perimeter and control room with your security manager, agree written post orders for each post, then mobilise on the agreed start date with every guard briefed on your site and safety rules.
Each shift has a named supervisor who checks posts, covers breaks where needed, handles escalation and is your direct contact for the whole shift.
Every post keeps a daily occurrence log, and truck and visitor gates keep registers of vehicles, passes and people. Incidents are reported to your contact within the same shift.
MHRSD work-environment rules for the guarding sector say a guard may not work 5 continuous hours without a break of at least 30 minutes, with a substitute covering the post. We build that relief into the roster, so gates and control rooms stay staffed through every break.
If a guard is absent, the shift supervisor brings in a replacement from the team assigned to your site, so the post stays covered and you receive the headcount in your contract.
Each month we review logs, incidents, findings and headcount with you, update post orders, and plan any upcoming shutdown surge well in advance.
Price follows posts × hours × shifts, plus supervisors, any patrol vehicle and the documentation load on SAIS-supervised sites. Under the labour law a guard works 48 hours a week (36 in Ramadan for Muslims) and one shift a day, so a post staffed 24/7 needs about 3.5 guards on paper (168 ÷ 48) and, in practice, around 4 to 4.5 once leave and absence relief are counted. So the number of 24/7 posts drives your quote more than anything else.
We offer monthly or annual contracts. An annual contract suits a plant's permanent posts; a monthly contract suits a new site or a trial period. Shutdown surge teams are added to your contract for the weeks you need them.
Yes. We plan the changeover around your current contract's end date: we survey the site, agree post orders, brief the guards and take over the gate registers and handover notes on the agreed day, so every post is staffed as the outgoing team leaves.
Yes. Halcones holds SAIS private civil guarding licence 2611000012, Category One, valid to 28 April 2027. On these sites our guards follow your security section's post orders, attend your induction and keep audit-ready records. A copy of the licence comes with every proposal.
Guards match each vehicle to its delivery note or material-out pass, inspect the load area as your procedure defines, record the details in the gate register and hold anything without a valid pass for your authorised approver.
Yes. Share the dates and the expected contractor numbers as early as you can. We add gate posts, contractor registration and patrols for the shutdown period, led by the supervisors already assigned to your site, then return to the permanent roster. Our Category One licence allows a guard force of up to 1,000 guards.
Yes. Female guards are available in all cities, including night shifts and around the clock. They can staff women's entrances, female staff areas and canteens, and handle bag checks for female visitors, under the same contract and supervision as your other posts.
Yes. 100% of our guards are Saudi, as the Private Civil Security Guarding Law requires of all staff at guarding companies.
Saudi guards contracted through a guarding company can count toward your Nitaqat ratio under the programme's conditions; we explain this in the proposal.
Each shift has a named supervisor. You receive daily occurrence logs and gate registers, same-shift notice of any incident and a monthly review with your security manager.
Yes. Where your plant has a camera system in place, our guards provide control-room monitoring: watching the screens, dispatching patrols to alarms and keeping the occurrence log. The design and maintenance of the system stay with your systems contractor.
