The Foundation for Advancing Security Talent (FAST) has partnered with the Security Industry Association (SIA), the Electronic Security Association, PSA Security Network, and Security Sales & Integration to launch the 2023 Security Industry Compensation Study. This initiative is the security industry’s largest widely partnered study on salary and compensation.
Participating in this study will provide your company with essential benchmarking data on industry salaries and benefits to help you effectively recruit and retain top talent. All companies who participate in the survey will get the executive summary prior to the release of the full report and will receive the full report once it is released. With standardized job titles and descriptions, participants in the study will get valuable data to help make informed hiring decisions.
If you are an executive, HR or operations leader, or business owner in the security industry, we invite you to participate in this important study.
The compensation study is designed for the following companies:
- Security integrators
- Residential and commercial security installing firms
- Security product manufacturers & software providers (including SaaS providers)
Participation is confidential and free for qualifying companies, and the study focuses on wage/salary/compensation packages for particularly in-demand and hard-to-recruit roles like technicians and technical staff, operations and sales roles. FAST is using outside firm Vault Consulting to ensure your firm’s data is confidential (not share directly with any of the partners, and only reported in aggregate) and that the computation and analysis is done with the rigor this study deserves.
How to Participate
