A much debated issue in the security sector is the pros and cons of procuring and managing security as a single service. Or is it better ‘bundled’ with other FM (facility management) provision. The Leicester-based consultancy Perpetuity Research has announced the launch of a survey addressing this issue, as part of a study to better understand the differences in approach.
They are inviting three groups to take part in the on-line survey:
-Facilities managers, involved in the management of security services;
-Security managers and procurement specialists, involved in the purchase of security services; and
-Directors and managers of companies supplying security services and goods.
The survey is anonymous and should take about 15 minutes to complete. The deadline for responses is March 1, 2013. The on-line survey can be accessed at:

This work is part of the Security Research Initiative, set up to evaluate topics of importance to the security world, and to promote good practice (http://www.perpetuityresearch.com/sri.html). The work is supported by the BSIA, The Security Institute and ASIS International (UK Chapter).
