In 1973, the late Mr. Al-Ghamdi founded Othman H. Al-Ghamdi Est. (OAG), becoming the first registered security company in Saudi Arabia. Following the Ministerial Decree No. 7 in 1995, which required the Saudization of all security jobs in the Kingdom, the company evolved into Mohamed O. Al-Ghamdi & Brothers Co. for Civil Guards (MOG) in 2004.
Today, MOG stands as a Ministry of Interior (MOI) approved, Class-1 licensed security provider, delivering comprehensive security services to clients across private, military, and government sectors. As a 100% Saudi-owned and operated company, MOG remains family-run, with its president bringing over 34 years of experience across various roles within the security field.
Our leadership and personnel continuously advance their expertise through certifications from ASIS International, the UK’s Security Industry Authority, and the Security Industry Training Organization (SITO). We remain at the forefront of the Saudi security sector, pioneering solutions and setting benchmarks for private civil security.
Our headquarters are in Dammam, with regional offices in Riyadh, Jeddah, Jubail, and multiple branches throughout the Kingdom. We employ over 500 Saudi nationals and an additional 500 multinational staff across administration, logistics, cargo management, and specialized security roles. This diverse workforce ensures that MOG not only provides robust security but also aligns with the MOI and labor regulations, contributing to Saudi Arabia’s economic growth and national security objectives.
We pride ourselves on delivering highly skilled consultants, subject matter experts, and security officers to support local and international clients throughout the Kingdom.
MOG has long established itself as a pioneer in the Saudi security sector. Our goal is to integrate seamlessly with our clients’ operations, recognizing that security is often the first point of interaction for visitors and staff. We act as ambassadors of our clients' organizations, ensuring that every action reflects positively on them and us.
We believe that successful operations require a focus on several key areas:
At MOG, we are committed to delivering high-quality security services through strict adherence to performance standards. From the first day of employment, every team member undergoes a rigorous process that includes:
Our field managers conduct monthly reviews of all personnel, while the Home Office management team performs quarterly evaluations. This comprehensive approach helps us identify improvement opportunities, develop talent internally, and promote from within.
Our project management teams, backed by MOG Corporate, bring diverse qualifications and extensive experience to meet and exceed client expectations in security management and training.
We are a 100% Saudi owned and manned company and remain to this day a true pioneer in Saudi Arabia’s security and private civil security officer community.
