The security of a state is a condition that includes all security institutions in the activities which are related to the absence of instability, a stable national security, human security, and moreover, including professionalism in the private security sector. In conditions of this kind, special relations between the institutions of the public (state) and private (where corporate security is included) security sector is established. These relations support the achievement of a strategic national interest defined in the key security documents. Relations between these two sectors are conveyed from a special legislative regime which is created to regulate their activities and to fulfill their authorization. Corporate security as a part of the private security sector, is an immensely important security dimension and if we take into consideration its importance, it gradually occupies an influential position in the overall social system. Security functioning of corporations of today appears to be a major determinant for the successful functioning of the security sector. Relations between the corporate security and state security sector are multidimensional and grasp attention in the academic, scientific and professional community. This article deals with a comparison between the normative, organizational and functional design of these two sectors as the best way to define their relations and to improve future relations.
