Morphology
This phrase is a direct composition of 'security' (protective measures/people) and 'staff' (employees), so the meaning 'employees responsible for security' is immediately derivable from the constituents. The noun+noun composition is a common, cross-linguistically familiar pattern, making it readily understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Security staff combines security ('safety') and staff ('people who work'). Picture people wearing uniforms at entrances, checking badges and watching cameras to keep a place safe. So, security staff means 'the group of employees who protect people, property, and information'.
