The Security Leadership Research Institute (SLRI) is dedicated to providing independent and actionable research to the corporate security community. The SLRI was formed as a result of the need by the security industry to document the entire spectrum of risk management and security through research. If you need to benchmark your security programs, you need to become involved. There is no cost to participants.
