2022 Physical Security Landscape
While many businesses look past the COVID-19 pandemic, there’s no denying that some issues, like the fragile supply chain, remain a persistent threat. Making matters worse, the widespread economic uncertainty that began to take root in 2022 is impacting businesses.
Each year, Pro-Vigil surveys organizations to find out exactly how crime is impacting them, what they think is driving these security incidents, and what they’re doing to secure their properties and assets.
This year, in the third edition of our “State of Physical Security” survey, Pro-Vigil polled 149 business leaders across a variety of industries to understand how their physical security challenges and strategies evolved in 2022, and how they think 2023 will shape up.
Security Survey Results
Here’s a recap of our top findings:
- 28% of respondents reported an increase in physical security incidents in 2022, matching our research from 2021 and up from just 20% in 2020.
- Despite 29% believing security incidents will increase in 2023, 42% haven’t changed their security strategy.
- What’s behind this rise in crime? 39% say the state of the economy, with 26% blaming the supply chain.
- Bonus data: We put a spotlight on construction businesses and found that this industry faces an elevated threat, with 66% of respondents reporting at least one physical security incident in 2022.
