Aspiring to Excellence: The Case of Security Suppliers and Corporate Security: A Security Research Initiative Report.

Despite there being an abundance of research on business excellence, there is very little research that focuses specifically upon the security sector.

This study takes into account the views of both sides: those who supply security and those who buy security (clients). It includes a review of some relevant literature, in depth interviews and a global survey.

The study aims to establish the relative importance of factors deemed most crucial in driving outstanding security performance; and to better understand the barriers to industry-wide excellence and provide some recommendations on how these can be overcome.
