2 BACK TO TABLE OF CONTENTS STATE OF PHYSICAL SECURITY 2022 Genetec Inc. surveyed physical security professionals from August 24 to September 21, 2022. Following data cleansing and a review of submissions, 3,711 responses were included in the sample for analysis. Some details about the survey methodology The target population for the survey focused on two main groups: • End users (individuals working for organizations participating in the procurement, management, and/or use of physical security technology) and • Systems integrators, installers, and providers (individuals who consult on, integrate, install, sell, or service security solutions) The target population was reached by third parties via their opt-in email lists, Genetec opt-in email lists, and digital promotions. Some of the results in this report are based on responses from both end users and systems integrators/installers/providers. However, some questions were only asked to end users and some only to systems integrators/ installers/providers. This report points out whether answers are from all respondents, end user respondents, or systems integrators/installers/providers respondents. Even for the questions asked to both groups (end users and systems integrators/installers/ providers), each result was analyzed by responses from 'end users only' and 'systems integrators/installers/providers only', as well as by both groups combined. In most cases, there was little difference in the results. Responses from 'end users only' were in line with responses from 'systems integrators/installers/providers only'. The report points out instances where this wasn't the case. It also highlights instances where the percentage of responses differs significantly by geographic region, end user industry, or by organization size, measured by the number of global employees.
