Each year, Security Benchmark Report respondents share accomplishments achieved by their programs. Below, we highlight a number of the impressive achievements we have seen over the past year, from improvements in enterprise-wide training programs to innovating security despite staffing challenges.

Editor’s Note: If a security program chose to remain anonymous for The Security Benchmark Report, they were not considered for the Achievers section.

Security training plays an important role in maintaining operational continuity and supporting an organization during an emergency.

The below 2023 Security Benchmark Report Achievers demonstrate how training can be used to benefit enterprise security posture by enhancing emergency preparedness and incident response.

We have expanded all facets of security training to include new officer training, annual refresher training, remedial training, policy training, new equipment training, leader training, peer function training (HR, Risk, Compliance, Safety) and non-security frontline teammate training.

We developed a solid Active Aggressor/Workplace Violence program, as well as cross-training in many safety and risk management areas for the security team administrative personnel.

We conducted our first full-scale active shooter exercise on a corporate campus. This included federal, state and local first responders, as well as technology providers, to help us respond to violence and walk through recovery.

Enterprise-wide training emanating from Protective Services greatly increases Caregiver awareness and tools with which to respond to incidents in conjunction with Police/Security staff.
