The purpose of the publication is to reveal business properties of security activity in the modern terms of property relations. The research methodology is based on the employment of historical, logical and dialectical methods of scientific cognition as well as methods of analysis and subsequent synthesis in the context of defining new civil-law concepts. Results: the article argues that security activity at the current stage of social development has business properties exhibited in a legal status of security institutions, essence of security services provision, and a legal nature of the contract as a means of legal regulation of this type of business activity. We define the concepts of “business security activity”, “provision of security services as a criterion of entrepreneurship”, “security organization” and reveal their legal properties. We developed a classification of the services under study, defined a concept of “security services contract” and established a legal nature hereof as a type of transaction and obligation. Conclusions: nowadays, a business nature of security activity is understudied by civil science, what along with the fact of non-defined security services contract prevents exercise of civil rights by participants of property relations and leads to the issues in the area under study. The author of the publication believes that the solution of the issues revealed lies in determining business properties of security activities and a legal status of security institutions, essence of security services provision and legal nature of the relevant contract in terms of fast-developing electronic-digital and other information technologies.
