ASIS releases employment salary survey

Jan 19, 2004 12:00 PM

According to the ASIS International 2003 Employment Survey, security professionals saw their overall compensation in 2002 go up 13 percent from 2001's numbers.

The highest paid security professionals manage multiple facilities for publicly owned global enterprises, and work in the fields of information technology, manufacturing, and retail.

With a four-year degree, the average salary was $86,700; without that degree, the average salary was more than $10,000 less, at $74,100. With a master's or higher, a security professional's average salary was $102,600.

Whether or not the security professional works at a publicly held or a privately owned venture also makes quite a difference. Managers working for public companies earned $96,116, 11 percent more than their counterparts in private companies, who earned $85,708.

Those holding the Certified Protection Professional (CPP) designation from ASIS International earned 22 percent more on average ($98,332) than those holding no certification ($80,485) in 2002.
