This report seeks to understand what trends in the global business operating environment mean for the corporate security function: its value proposition, narrative and positioning, leadership, talent strategy, areas of responsibility, relationship to the rest of the business, innovation, external stakeholders, and changing C-Suite needs.
It is intended as a guide for senior business leaders as they make decisions, such as who to hire as their Chief Security Officer (CSO)* and how to measure their performance, adequately resource the function, and benefit from corporate security’s potential contribution across the value chain.
The report focuses on corporate security at multinational corporations. Although aspects might be relevant for other organisations, they are not the focus of this study.
