Security is Okhrana or Bezopastnost' - okhrana is more "hands on".
I'd suggest Voyenizirovannaya Okhrana "Paramilitary Security",
abbreviated
VOkhr.	An individual (male) guard could be an Okhranik or a Storozh.

In Russian the 2nd last syllable is usually stressed; in VOkhr, it's
VoyenizIRovannaya Okhrana. To sound authentic, start with the voice low,
raising in the middle of the phrase then lowering again.

I realize this is more detail than anyone needs to know! :-)
