KDN Licence

Licensed under the Private Agencies Act 1971: 2(a) Kawalan Keselamatan (security guarding) and 2(b) Penyiasatan Persendirian (private investigation).

Every guard passes PDRM background checks and medical screening before deployment.

CSG Certified

Pricing

What drives the cost of a security guard in Malaysia

No two sites cost the same. These are the levers, with the full breakdown in our cost guide.

Posts and hours

A 24/7 post needs several guards on a roster plus relief, not one person.

Guard type

Local and Nepalese guards are priced differently and suit different posts.

Shift pattern and relief

Public holidays, leave cover and overtime are costed in, or they surface later as gaps.

Site risk and duties

Access control, patrols, CCTV monitoring and reporting each add scope.

Contract terms

Length, handover, price review and replacement time all change the real cost.

Statutory costs

EPF, SOCSO and EIS should be in every quote. Be cautious of a rate that leaves them out.

How it works

From first message to guards on post

A typical deployment. Standard posts go live within 24-48 hours of contract confirmation.

Security guard services in Malaysia, answered

What security guard services does Optimal Security provide?
Static guards, Nepalese guards, commercial and residential security, industrial and factory security, event security and private investigation, all under our KDN licence.
How much does a security guard cost in Malaysia?
It depends on roster, shift pattern, guard type, duties and contract terms. Our cost guide explains what drives price and includes a headcount estimator.
Which areas do you cover?
Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Johor Bahru (including Senai, Pasir Gudang and Pontian), Penang, Melaka and Taiping, with nationwide project support on request.
How do I know which guard type my site needs?
It depends on site type and risk. See types of security guards, or request a free site assessment.
Should I choose local or Nepalese guards?
Both are KDN-compliant. Local guards suit client-facing and supervisory posts; Nepalese guards are often chosen for 24/7 gatehouse, perimeter and night posts. Many sites use a mix.
Do you provide security guards for schools and campuses?
Yes. We deploy PDRM-screened guards for gate screening, drop-off safety and after-hours patrol at schools, colleges and campuses. See school and campus security guard services.
Do you provide security guards for clinics and hospitals?
Yes. Clinics and hospitals usually need a mixed roster with clear post orders for emergency access, restricted areas and visitor management. See hospital and clinic security guard services.
Do you provide security guards for factories and warehouses?
Yes. Factory and warehouse posts focus on gatehouse, perimeter, lorry screening and loss prevention, often with Nepalese static guards and a local supervisor. See factory security and warehouse security guard services.
Do you provide security guards for condominiums?
Yes. We cover guardhouse, visitor management and reporting to the JMB/MC. See condominium security guard services.
How fast can guards be deployed?
Typically within 24-48 hours of contract confirmation, following a short site assessment. Large headcounts can be phased.
How do I verify your licence before signing?
Ask for our KDN licence, PIKM membership certificate and insurance schedule. Our verification checklist shows what to check.
Is relief cover included for leave and public holidays?
Relief cover is planned into 24/7 rosters and stated in the quotation, so a post is not left empty when a guard is on leave.
Is there a minimum contract length?
Long-term posts typically run 12 months or more. Events and short-term deployments are quoted per shift.
Can you take over from our current security company?
Yes. We plan the handover with a site walk, post orders and a briefing so there is no gap in coverage.
Do you provide guards for events and short-term needs?
Yes. See event security for crowd control, access screening and ad-hoc deployments.
Do you provide armed guards, bodyguards, escorts or cash-in-transit?
No. We provide unarmed, uniformed security guards only. These are not services we provide: armed guards, bodyguards, escorts or cash-in-transit services. If your site needs them, you will need a provider licensed for that service.
What is the difference between a KDN licence and PIKM membership?
KDN (the Ministry of Home Affairs) is the regulator that licenses guard agencies under Akta 27. PIKM is the industry association whose Certified Security Guard (CSG) programme trains guards. A reputable supplier should show both, plus insurance.
Do you also offer private investigation?
Yes, as a separate licensed service. See private investigation.
