I costed this in "Corp Security Handbook" one day... consider these
things:

Solid magical security can cost upwards over 150,000 Y a _week_. That's
only a handful of decent strength wards, BTW, let alone the cost of the
mages, and the elemental backup. Matrix security is upwards of 20
million. A guard force of about 20 people will cost you, in equipment,
salaries, and training, over 10 million a year. Heck, we haven't even hit
the cost of the walls, gates, sensors, and drones, yet.
