The term "in house security" means

The security guard will be guarding a dwelling house
The security guard is a direct employee of the business
The security company is your employer but you are loaned to the business for a period of time as a permanent post
It is considered a promotion in the security profession

The correct answer is: The security guard is a direct employee of the business

The term "in house security" refers to security personnel who are directly employed by the business they are assigned to protect, rather than being hired from an external security company. This arrangement allows the company to have staff dedicated specifically to its security needs, promoting teamwork and brand loyalty within the organization. In-house security guards typically have a better understanding of the company’s operations, culture, and specific security challenges. Their integration can lead to improved security strategies and more effective incident response, as they are fully immersed in the business environment they protect. This concept contrasts with other arrangements where security might be contracted from an external source or where guards may serve on a temporary or rotational basis.
