What Does a Security Guard Do?

A Security Guard is an employee whose skill contributes to the security of the supported businesses they are assigned to. The guard only counts while working, so hiring the role and assigning the workstation are only the first steps.

Security is a business requirement, not a personal stat. Check the role, the security workstation and the security equipment together instead of reading the guard in isolation.

Where to Hire a Security Guard

A Security Guard is hired through the normal recruitment system, then assigned to a security workstation inside the business.

What Does Security Guard Skill Do?

Security Guard skill feeds the guard contribution to the business security level. Satisfaction does not multiply it.

The skill values of the currently working guards are added up, the total is halved and capped at 100.

50
1

Only guards who are currently working count. A guard who is not working adds nothing.

Guard contribution
25 guard protection

The contribution is capped at 100, so extra guards stop adding security once the cap is reached.

This page does not claim that one guard is enough for a specific business. Security also weighs equipment, and no per-business required value is confirmed.

    Security level

A business security level weighs the guard contribution and equipment protection together. This page shows the relationship, not a combined formula.

The theft rule lowers theft pressure as the security level rises, and a security sign adds an extra check for stock that is not secured.

A Security Guard is an employee role, not a security system. Guards contribute to the business security requirement, while equipment and showcase protection are the other inputs. This page covers the guard side only.

Guard protection is built from the working guards. The confirmed rule adds up the skill values of the currently working guards, halves the total and caps it at 100. Satisfaction does not multiply it.

There is no universal best security setup here. This page explains the rules the game can confirm, not how much security you should buy.
