Prices for Security Services in Ukraine
The cost of physical security for facilities in Kyiv, Lviv, and other cities
When planning a security system for business or private property, most clients want to understand the main thing — how much physical security for a facility costs and how this price is formed.
For example, enterprises in the capital often wonder what the price of security in Kyiv is and what factors affect the budget for security services. For retail chains, the issue of the price of store security is relevant, while logistics companies usually calculate the budget for warehouse security in Lviv or other regions.
For office centers and corporate clients, it is important to understand what the price of office security might be and what functions the personnel on duty will perform. Separately, many clients are interested in the cost of a 24/7 security post, as the round-the-clock operation mode has its own economic model. We work according to a transparent system of forming the cost of security services and openly explain how the security budget is calculated.
How much does facility security cost?
1. Facility type.
This can be:
- office;
- warehouse;
- store;
- shopping mall;
- production facility;
- residential complex;
- private residence.
The price depends on the scale, control zones, and the operating mode of the facility.
2. Functional tasks.
- access control;
- pass system;
- territory patrolling;
- working with visitors;
- video surveillance control;
- integration with ACS;
- emergency response;

The broader the functionality, the higher the cost of the post.
3. Region.

Formed depending on salaries, the market, and logistics.
4. Operating mode.
- 12 hours (day/night);

- 1/2, 2/4, 7/7.
Round-the-clock security provides continuous control.

- quality control.
Affects the total cost of the security system.
6. Security category.
- Standard — basic;
- Enhanced — risk control;

The price can vary significantly depending on the level.
How is the price for facility security formed?
The cost of physical security for facilities in Kyiv, Lviv, and other cities
Base rate. We work with the market median of salaries.
This ensures:
- stable personnel;
- low staff turnover;
- high quality of security services.
Taxes. The official model includes:
- SSC — 22%;
- PIT — 18%;
- military tax — 1.5%.
A legal operational model protects the client from legal risks.

Control and management.

- 24/7 dispatch center;
- rapid response teams;
- quality audit.
Equipment.
Security guards are provided with:
- professional uniforms;
- radios;
- metal detectors;
- video recording;
- protective equipment.
Operational stability.
8–10% of the budget is the company's stability reserve.
This ensures:
- continuity of security;
- responsibility for the facility;
- development of security systems.
Why does attempting to save on security increase business risks?
When a client looks for cheap security, they only compare the number. But security is risk management.
A low price usually means saving on:
- personnel;
- control;
- training;
- equipment;
- taxes.
Saving 5–10% can lead to:
- thefts;
- internal abuses;
- fines;
- reputational losses;
- business downtime.
Cheap security is a deferred loss.
Security as part of EBITDA
Systematic security:
- reduces shrinkage;
- minimizes internal losses;
- improves personnel discipline;
- stabilizes operational processes.
This affects:
- EBITDA;
- margin;
- company valuation;
- long-term business value.
Security is a risk management tool, not an expense.
Security as part of EBITDA
Transparent security cost calculation model
The formula looks like this:
- Base rate × shift coefficient;
- taxes;
- management;
- provision;
- operational stability.
= final price of the security post
For the 24/7 mode, a coefficient of 4.2 is used.
We prepare a personalized calculation of security costs within
24 hours.
