All workers in security companies, including guards, must be Saudi citizens according to the Public Prosecution in Saudi Arabia.
According to the Saudi Public Prosecution, private civil security companies and institutions, including pilgrim accommodations, are subject to strict security standards and controls.
In the Prosecution's warning, the authorities must initiate appropriate action against anyone who violates Saudization rules in appointment procedures.
A tweet posted by the Public Prosecution stated, "All employees in private companies and institutions that provide security guard services, as well as all civil guards, must be Saudi citizens.".
There are several penalties for violating the law, including a warning, temporary closure for up to one month, a fine of up to 50,000 riyals, and cancellation of the license, depending on the severity.
Council of Ministries has prohibited ministries and governmental and semi-governmental companies from signing contracts with civil security guard establishments that pay less than 4,500 riyals in monthly salary to workers who are registered with the General Organization of Social Insurance as security and safety workers.
