Security 500 Survey
Participate in our annual benchmarking program!
Thank you for your interest. The 2019 Security 500 Survey is now closed.
The Security 500 Survey measures metrics across an entire organization. If your facility is part of a larger organization, please pass on the survey to the person responsible for your organization's enterprise-wide security. We encourage you to complete the survey and participate in the benchmarking program, as each participant receives a confidential benchmarking report.
All those who complete the survey will either receive one $10 gift card or can choose to have $10 donated to one of the following charities:
- The Humane Society of the United States
- The Make-A-Wish Foundation
- The American Cancer Society
- Mission500
Please do your best in answering the questions asked, as we understand some of these questions may be more difficult to answer for some organizations.
To keep a record of your responses, we recommend you printing a copy of the survey and filling it out by hand before entering your information. To download a copy of the questionnaire, please click here:
