Hire Residential
Security Staff
Discreet, intelligence led protection. Hire residential security staff who protect your family, your property and your privacy.
Your family needs security professionals who’ve handled everything from unwanted drones to unwanted visitors, and know when a situation requires a quiet word versus immediate action.
When your principal asks you to upgrade their residential security, are you going to interview ex-military personnel yourself? Verify international close protection licenses? Check references from other UHNW families? Test their de-escalation skills?
You could. Or you could work with professionals who guarantee every placement for three months and check in every ten days to ensure your family feels protected, not imprisoned.
Contact us today to hire residential security staff.
At Morgan & Mallet (M&M), we place over 1,200 staff every year. Our residential security recruitment agency has become essential for families who understand that true safety means living freely, not fearfully. Here’s why:

DISCLAIMER
We might not find your ideal home security professional right away, despite having over 4,100 security profiles worldwide.
When that happens, we’ll tell you directly that it’s going to take more time. For specialized requirements – like Mandarin-speaking bodyguards with diplomatic experience – the search might extend beyond our usual timeframe.
Our 97% success rate comes from being patient and finding the right fit, not just filling positions quickly.
This honest approach is why families have trusted us since 2015. We’ve learned that transparency leads to better long-term partnerships.
Trust Built on
Experience
Morgan & Mallet was established in 2015 in London by two French childhood friends, who moved to London in the early 2000s.
Laurine Mallet worked as a nanny for high-net-worth families in London and Paris, often planning with security teams to ensure children’s safety during school runs and travel.
Morgan Richez served as a butler for ultra-wealthy households, where he learned that the best security works hand-in-hand with other household staff.
This hands-on experience shaped our approach. Today, M&M has offices in London, Paris, Monaco, Geneva, Dubai, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. But we haven’t forgotten those early lessons about balancing protection with warmth.
One of our recruiters, Rachel, handled a request from a celebrity’s brother who needed both a traveling PA and security personnel. They needed thorough vetting – several interview rounds, including a final meeting with the client themselves.
This whole experience showed how we protect our clients’ privacy. Before candidates even walked in for their first interview, they signed NDAs agreeing to keep the client’s name secret no matter what happened.
When we’re looking for the right PA and security team, we pick people who already know that privacy is key to doing this kind of work.
Who Hires Residential
Security Professionals?
From our experience, there are usually three types of people who call us about our residential security recruitment services:
Personal Assistants
Most PAs suddenly get tasked with finding security and think “Where do I even start?” One assistant called us at 10 PM, panicked because her employer had received a credible threat and needed protection.
Just give us a call and we’ll assess the situation immediately. Within hours, you can tell your employer “It’s handled – we’ll have vetted security in place ASAP.”
Family Offices
Morgan & Mallet is often their go-to home security recruitment agency after successful placements of other household staff. Once we’ve found their butler or chef, they trust us with security because they know we understand their standards.
Family offices particularly appreciate our global reach. When a principal needs security for their Aspen home, London townhouse, and yacht in Monaco, they make one call to their M&M contact.
Residential Security Recruitment for Financial Advisors and Accountants
They’re brilliant at managing wealth but finding security isn’t in their normal task list. Often, they’re handling a client who’s suddenly become public – through an IPO, lottery win, or high-profile divorce.
One recruiter told us a solicitor reached out on behalf of his client needing a PA: ‘She was too busy to handle it herself, so he managed everything.’
Whether it’s a solicitor, accountant, or financial advisor calling, it doesn’t matter – we have a set process that takes the task off your shoulders. We deliver trust, peace of mind, and often, genuine relief that it’s being handled properly.
When you call, we handle everything. We know that finding the right security is about much more than muscle – it’s about finding professionals who understand your world.

What Does Residential
Security Mean for High-Net-Worth Households?
Residential security for elite households goes far beyond basic protection. While standard security might patrol your perimeter, high-end residential security works with your lifestyle.
Think of it like comparing a bouncer to a diplomat. Both provide security, but only one understands the delicate balance of protecting a prominent family while maintaining their privacy and freedom.
In New York, 86% of our security professionals have protected Upper East Side residences and are experienced with challenging building protocols and service elevator coordination
It’s similar to Jason Bourne’s awareness, scanning a room in seconds, experienced security professionals are reading every situation before it unfolds.
What's the Difference
Between Residential
Security and Standard Security Services?
Standard security services often rotate guards through your property like it’s a warehouse. Residential security professionals become part of your home.
The distinction shows in every interaction:
Standard Security: | Elite Residential Security: |
|---|---|
|
|
Hiring standard security for your principal could be a risky idea. One client hired a standard driver for their family’s office who was over reliant on GPS. He circled the same block three times when GPS failed, completely exposed.
Eventually (two months later), they realised their mistake and came to M&M and we were able to place an experienced professional with the exact criteria needed: a mental map of London.
For issues such as security and protection it often pays to get it right first time, and an agency with a three month guarantee, 97% placement success rate, and dedicated follow up, can promise you peace of mind.

Residential Security
Expertise by City
This chart shows the percentage of security professionals placed by M&M with location-specific expertise across various global cities.

How Much Does Private
Residential Security Cost?
Elite residential security represents a significant investment, but understanding the true value helps put costs in perspective.
Unlike commercial security charging hourly rates, residential security professionals become a key part of protecting your household.
Annual Salary Ranges by Location:
City | Property Guard | Personal Bodyguard | Head of Security |
|---|---|---|---|
London | $65,000 – $95,000 | $85,000 – $120,000 | $110,000 – $150,000 |
New York | $70,000 – $100,000 | $90,000 – $130,000 | $120,000 – $160,000 |
Los Angeles | $65,000 – $95,000 | $85,000 – $125,000 | $115,000 – $155,000 |
Miami | $60,000 – $85,000 | $80,000 – $115,000 | $105,000 – $145,000 |
San Francisco | $75,000 – $105,000 | $95,000 – $135,000 | $125,000 – $165,000 |
Dubai | $50,000 – $80,000* | $70,000 – $110,000* | $95,000 – $140,000* |
These ranges reflect base salaries. Additional factors affecting compensation:
- Language skills (bilingual professionals command 15-20% premiums)
- Specialized training (K9 handling, maritime, aviation)
- Travel requirements (international travel adds 20-30%)
- Live-in arrangements (typically reduce salary by 15-20% due to provided accommodation)
Families initially question why residential security costs more than commercial guards. Once they understand the 24/7 dedicated protection, consistent personnel, and built trust, the decision makes perfect sense.
Language Capabilities of
Security Professionals
This chart shows how many professionals placed by M&M in different cities speak two or more languages. Miami has the most with about 79%, while New York and Dubai are quite similar at 69%. Cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and London have a little over half of their professionals, around 58%, who speak multiple languages.

The Morgan & Mallet
Security Vetting Process
Our security placement process goes deeper than other agencies because we understand the product is not a body guard, or head of security, the product is trust.
From experience, we know that when we fill a placement with the ideal candidate, almost always you will return asking for a nanny, a PA or even a nutrition coach.
Understanding Your Unique Needs
We start with an in-depth consultation, for the most part this will be your recruiter listening. Every family’s security needs differ based on:
- Public profile and specific threats.
- Family composition and routines.
- Property layouts and locations.
- Travel patterns and lifestyle.
- Existing security measures.
- Cultural preferences and languages needed.
One recent client discovered they needed Portuguese-speaking security only after we explored their frequent Brazil travels.
Global Talent Search
We search our database of 4,100+ security professionals while conducting targeted recruitment. Even with our extensive network, we still advertise positions to ensure we present the absolute best.
Running adverts on major sites in addition to our own job board, ensures we keep our candidate pool growing. This growth in our candidate database is just another way we can supply the best placements.
Vetting
Every candidate undergoes:
- Criminal background checks across all jurisdictions.
- Military/law enforcement record verification.bodyguard
- Financial background review (debt can create vulnerability).
- Social media deep dive.
- 5-7 year employment verification.
Reference Verification
We dig deep into professional histories, contacting multiple references and verifying international credentials through our data partners.
From diplomatic clearances to close protection licenses, nothing goes unchecked.
Some agencies may skip this process in the interest of speed. M&M recruiters say it can be time consuming but it’s always better to get it right and to get a truthful complete picture.
Any candidate who cannot provide proof of their past experience, or if the reference doesn’t check out is immediately disqualified.
Matching and Presentation
We present a maximum of three candidates – more means we haven’t done our job. Although we use AI in the agency, each candidate is hand picked, at the moment nothing can beat our team of recruiters (all human!).
Each candidate comes with capability assessments and our honest recommendation.
You receive three redacted resumes, our notes, and how these candidates fit your initial requirements from our first call.
Ongoing Support
After placement, we check in every ten days with both you and your security professional. Every placement is guaranteed for three months – if you’re not completely satisfied, we’ll find a replacement at no charge.
With our 97% success rate, we rarely need to, but the guarantee gives you total peace of mind.
The checking-in every ten days comes from our founders own personal experience. Laurine, company co-founder was placed as a nanny early in her career and never heard from the agency again.
Fortunately it still worked out, but with other candidates when we check in we can often resolve any issues early on. This greatly increases the success of the candidate, and saves everyone valuable time.
How to Hire a
Bodyguard for
Personal Protection
Personal bodyguards represent the most intimate level of security – they share your daily life. In our database, 40.32% of security experts specialize in personal protection, but finding the right match requires understanding this relationship.
Modern bodyguards blend into your world. In Los Angeles, 76% are former law enforcement or military, but they’ve learned that celebrity protection requires care over force.
The best bodyguards adapt to each situation:
- Black-tie galas (formal protection protocols).
- School events (discrete family security).
- Business meetings (corporate protection).
- Vacation travel (advance planning and coordination).
- Daily routines (complete integration).
Making the Right Choice
for Your Estate's Security
Finding the right security professional brings peace of mind, confidence and just improves your family’s quality of life.
The wrong choice creates daily friction, false alarms, and even less safety through security malpractice.
Consider what matters most:
- Do you need estate security, personal protection, or both?
- What languages and cultural understanding are essential?
- How will security integrate with existing staff?
- What’s your family’s tolerance for visible security?
- Are there specific threats requiring specialized skills?
It can be a little daunting for a PA, solicitor or financial advisor tasked with recruiting for such positions.
This is why we recommend calling us, and entrusting such a valuable high risk position to those with a proven track record of excellence in the sector
Our 97% placement success rate comes from understanding our principal’s needs, listening to your concerns, and only offering candidates with experience.

Finding Security
Professionals
in Major Cities
Each city presents unique security challenges requiring local expertise:
New York
86% of our NYC bodyguards navigate Upper East Side building protocols, organize between Manhattan residences and Hamptons estates, and understand diplomatic security requirements.
The city demands professionals who can handle everything from UN General Assembly traffic to Central Park privacy.
Los Angeles
89% of our LA placements have protected Beverly Hills and Bel Air estates, managing celebrity privacy, paparazzi deterrence, and red carpet security. LA security requires understanding entertainment industry rhythms and media management.
Miami
84% of the placements made by M&M specialize in waterfront properties across Star Island and Fisher Island. They coordinate marine security, handle international visitors, and manage hurricane preparedness. The Latin American connection means 79% speak Spanish fluently.
San Francisco
81% of M&M placements protect tech executives in Pacific Heights and Atherton, requiring cyber and physical security integration. They understand IPO security surges, and Silicon Valley’s unique privacy challenges.
London
Of the placements made by M&M, 88% work in Mayfair and Belgravia, managing diplomatic protocols, royal area requirements, and heritage property restrictions. Many coordinate security for families with Parliament or financial industry connections.
Dubai
89% of M&M agency placements operate in Emirates Hills and Palm Jumeirah, following royal protocols and managing extreme weather considerations. 78% have served Gulf royal families, understanding formal protocols and cultural sensitivities.
Three Security Risks
Elite Families Never See Coming
Staff Social Media Exposure
Your housekeeper’s innocent Instagram post revealing your vacation dates creates vulnerability. We’ve seen criminals track families through staff social media, learning routines and identifying security gaps.
Solution: Comprehensive social media policies and regular staff training. One family discovered their nanny’s TikTok showed their children’s school uniforms – immediate security risk.
Vendor Security Blindness
Regular service providers become invisible security gaps. The same florist delivering weekly knows your schedule, security rhythms, and household patterns. It may not seem like a risk, but it’s definitely worth being aware of.
A Miami family discovered their pool service company employed someone with criminal connections. Regular vendors need the same vetting as staff.
Children's Digital Footprints
Teenagers’ online activities create unexpected vulnerabilities. Gaming friends become security risks when they discover dad runs a hedge fund.
For example, a teenager gaming on Discord might casually mention the family jet to online friends. What seems like innocent conversation could lead to real threats against the family. Today all family members need security professionals who understand online risks.
When Do You Need a Personal
Security Guard vs. a Bodyguard?
You need a security guard for protecting your property and a bodyguard for protecting you personally. Below is a more detailed comparison.
Personal Security Guards: | Bodyguards: |
|---|---|
|
|
Many ultra-wealthy households employ both. Your security guard maintains your estate’s safety while your bodyguard ensures personal protection during travel and public appearances.
What Makes a Head of Security Different from Other Security Roles?
A Head of Security organizes your entire protection strategy. This position is far rarer than other ones, for example only 6.34% of security professionals in the M&M database have the experience and skills for this leadership role.
They manage:
- Security team recruitment and training.
- Technology integration and upgrades.
- Threat assessment and intelligence.
- Budget management.
- Coordination with law enforcement.
- Crisis response planning.
How Does Canine Security Patrol Enhance Estate Protection?
Canine units can detect threats humans miss while adding a comforting presence for families especially in the countryside or on large estates.
Elite K9 units provide:
- 24/7 sensory surveillance.
- Natural deterrence.
- Explosive/drug detection capability.
- Intruder tracking.
- Family-friendly protection.
The investment can include:
- Specially trained dogs ($15,000-50,000 each)
- Professional handlers
- Ongoing training
- Veterinary care
- Specialized facilities

What Is a Residential Security Assessment?
A residential security assessment is a full review of your home’s vulnerabilities and protection measures. Security professionals examine three key areas to identify risks and recommend improvements.
Physical Security Audit
This covers entry point vulnerabilities like weak locks or hidden access points. It includes analyzing sightlines to spot areas where intruders could hide and identifying optimal safe room locations.
The audit maps out evacuation routes and assesses whether lighting fully covers all areas of the property.
Technology Evaluation
Experts review camera placement to remove blind spots and get full coverage. They check if alarm systems integrate properly with other security features.
The evaluation includes cyber security and communication system reliability.
Operational Review
This examines staff security awareness and training levels. It reviews vendor vetting procedures and protocols for handling mail and packages.
The assessment includes visitor management systems and emergency response procedures. Every human element that could impact security gets reviewed.
What Are the Three Different Types of Security for Estates?
Modern estate security operates in three layers:
1. Physical Security
- Perimeter protection
- Access control
- Security personnel
- K9 units
- Safe rooms
2. Technical Security
- CCTV systems
- Motion detection
- Biometric access
- Drone detection
- Cybersecurity integration
3. Operational Security
- Staff vetting and training
- Vendor management
- Information control
- Travel security
- Emergency protocols
The most secure estates balance all three. As one client noted: “Our M&M placement helped us understand security for our life, and how we operate. We thought it was locks and cameras.”
Frequently asked questions
What Does a Residential Security Guard Do Daily?
The best, most trusted residential security guards protect families while helping their daily lives run smoothly, balancing safety protocols with lifestyle needs.
A typical routine may look like this:
Morning Routine (6:00 AM – 9:00 AM)
Guards review overnight reports and coordinate with household staff as they arrive. They perform security sweeps during breakfast and test all systems while families start their day.
Midday Activities (10:00 AM – 3:00 PM)
Security teams check venues before family outings and coordinate with restaurant staff. They manage deliveries, supervise contractors, and ensure privacy during home activities like poolside training sessions.
Evening Duties (4:00 PM – 10:00 PM)
Teams prepare for events by briefing additional guards and checking guest lists. They manage arrivals while staying discreet, then transition to night security and conduct final perimeter checks.
Finding the Right Fit
Every household has unique security needs based on family lifestyle and property layout. The key is finding an experienced professional who has handled similar situations and understands your specific requirements.
Contact M&M to find the right security match for your family. Our team specializes in connecting households with guards who have proven experience in similar settings.
What are the 4 P's of security?
The 4 P’s of security are People, Property, Premises, and Processes. These create complete residential security coverage.
People includes everyone who enters your property, from family to service workers, even vendors.
Property covers all valuables, data, and assets that need protection.
Premises means your physical locations and their weak points.
Processes are your security procedures and daily routines.
At M&M, we’ve found that ‘People’ usually present the biggest security risk. Our data shows that trusted insiders are involved in many security breaches. That’s why our vetting process examines financial stability and personal circumstances alongside criminal records.
What is a level 4 security license?
A Level 4 security license represents the highest certification level in many jurisdictions. It qualifies holders for armed protection and executive security assignments. This certification requires extensive training hours, psychological evaluations, advanced firearms skills, and ongoing professional education.
However, certifications alone don’t guarantee household compatibility. We regularly evaluate Level 4 licensed professionals who have excellent tactical skills but lack the interpersonal abilities needed for residential work.
In Los Angeles, where 82% of our bodyguards hold both armed and unarmed defense certifications, we’ve learned that technical qualifications mean nothing without the right personality fit. When you hire through M&M we will be checking in every ten days with both you and your candidate for three months.
What are the 5 C's for security guards?
The 5 C’s define professional security standards: Composure, Courtesy, Competence, Confidence, and Communication.
Composure ensures calm responses to threats or false alarms.
Courtesy maintains household harmony while providing protection.
Competence covers all technical and tactical skills.
Confidence projects authority without intimidation.
Communication keeps all parties informed and working together.
From our database of 4,100+ security experts, we identify professionals who demonstrate all five qualities consistently, not just on paper.
What is the golden rule of security guards?
“Prevent rather than react” stands as the rule of professional security. True protection stops problems before they happen rather than managing them afterward. Prevention requires intelligence gathering, strategic planning, and pattern recognition that identifies threats early.
Every city has its own security challenges – from Miami’s waterfront estates to Manhattan’s high-rise penthouses. That’s why location expertise makes all the difference in stopping problems before they start.
Over 86%* of placements made by M&M have what we call “location specific expertise” – they know the neighborhoods, understand local patterns, and have established relationships that help keep you safe.
*Exactly 86.17%, data derived from Morgan & Mallet’s 2025 internal data, covering security specialist placements across the US, UK, UAE, and Europe:
Los Angeles: 89% (Beverly Hills/Bel-Air/Malibu expertise).
Miami: 84% (waterfront properties expertise).
New York: 86% (Upper East Side/Tribeca/Central Park West expertise).
San Francisco: 81% (Pacific Heights/Nob Hill/Atherton expertise).
London: 88% (Mayfair/Belgravia/Knightsbridge expertise).
Dubai: 89% (Emirates Hills/Palm Jumeirah expertise).
Do security guards have any authority?
Security guards have limited legal authority – basically the same citizen’s arrest powers as any individual, plus specific rights related to protecting their assigned property. They cannot function as law enforcement or detain individuals without proper cause. They must operate within strict legal parameters.
What is higher than a security guard?
Above basic security guards are specialized roles like personal bodyguards, team leaders, and heads of security who have advanced training and manage comprehensive protection programs.
Personal Bodyguards
These professionals stay close to family members and need extra training beyond basic security. Many are former police officers or military personnel who know how to handle dangerous situations.
Team Leaders and Supervisors
They manage groups of security guards and coordinate daily operations. These leaders make sure all guards work together smoothly and cover every area properly.
Heads of Security and Directors
Heads of security are the most experienced professionals design security plans for entire properties or multiple homes. They typically have 10-15 years of experience and manage large security teams. Read more about hiring a head of security here.
Residential Security Officer
These senior professionals take care of security for large residential properties and wealthy families. They work with local law enforcement, manage security budgets, and ensure all family members get protection based on their individual risk levels. To find out more about hiring a residential security officer, click here.
Choosing the Right Level
A single home might only need one trained guard who knows the local area well. Families with several properties often need a Head of Security to coordinate protection across all locations.
Some security professionals speak multiple languages or have special skills like event security. The right match depends on your family’s specific needs and lifestyle.
Contact M&M to find security professionals who have protected families like yours. We connect households with guards who have the right experience for their situation.
How many security guards do you need for 100 people?
Security requirements for 100-person events depend on guest profiles, the venue, and threat assessments rather than generic ratios. While standard corporate functions might use 1:25 coverage, high-net-worth gatherings need unique security planning for specific risks and requirements.
This customized approach requires deep local knowledge and experience with exclusive venues.
M&M pairs you with experts who keep your family secure and your private data protected. Should you need a different professional for any reason, we’ll provide a new match right away at absolutely no cost.
What security certifications matter most for residential properties?
Essential residential security certifications include CPO (Certified Protection Officer) for foundational knowledge and PSP (Physical Security Professional) for estate security design. Current First Aid/CPR/AED certification handles medical emergencies.
For example, in the UK, you need an SIA licence from the Security Industry Authority, and in California, you need a security guard license from the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS).
Yet for M&M, certifications or prior law enforcement experience represent only baseline competence. For example, although 76% of our LA bodyguards are former law enforcement or military, we ensure they’ve successfully transitioned to the unique demands of residential security.
How? We verify they have experience in the role they are applying for, and that their previous employers were happy with their performance.
M&M connects you with professionals who protect your family’s safety and your personal information. Here’s our promise: if things aren’t working out for any reason, we’ll bring in someone new, no questions asked and no charge to you.
Can residential security work with existing smart home systems?
Modern residential security professionals must integrate effectively with smart home technology.
Today’s security experts manage both physical protection and digital vulnerabilities. They operate biometric access controls, AI-surveillance, and connected devices while ensuring cybersecurity integrity.
Integration continues growing more complex. Smart doorbells, automated locks, and voice-activated systems create potential vulnerabilities when configured incorrectly. Technical competence has become essential.
When you work with M&M, you get professionals equipped to protect both your physical spaces and digital privacy. Our placements are also guaranteed, so if you are even a little concerned, get in contact and we can arrange a replacement, free of charge.
