Benchmarking has become a familiar part of how businesses learn, grow, and stay competitive. It helps leaders see where they’re strong, where they may be falling behind, and where new opportunities might be hiding. For security teams, good benchmarks can shape goals, guide planning, and make it easier to explain the value of the program to the rest of the organization.
But in practice, benchmarking isn’t always used that way. Many security leaders pull together benchmarks only when someone above them asks for a number or a comparison. Instead of using the data to explore what peers are doing, spot gaps, or strengthen their program, they simply deliver whatever was requested and move on. This quick poll looks at how organizations experience both the benefits and the frustrations of using benchmarks in physical security.
