About

The word 保安 is formed by combining two meaningful characters: 保, which means "to protect" or "to safeguard", and 安, which means "safety" or "peace". When placed together, they create a logical and intuitive compound where the first character describes the action (protecting) and the second character defines the objective (safety), resulting in a concept that means "to ensure safety and security", commonly used to refer to a security guard or the function of security itself.
