ASIS News: New ASIS Research Explores Security Culture
New ASIS Research Explores Security Culture and Controls
ASIS International is dedicated to producing practical, actionable research that advances the security management profession and delivers value to practitioners across the field. Research initiatives led by ASIS and the ASIS Foundation provide data and insights that help security leaders navigate an increasingly complex risk landscape.
Every year, the ASIS Foundation produces academically rigorous research designed to advance the knowledge and strategic decision making of security leaders. This year’s ASIS Foundation Report, Security Culture: A Strategic Capability That Builds Resilience in a Volatile World, details how even the best-designed security governance structures, controls, and technologies cannot deliver secure outcomes at scale on their own.
Security is ultimately enacted through the everyday actions, decisions, and behaviors of employees, contractors, and partners. The report provides a clear understanding of how to develop and sustain a healthy security culture, how to make security culture work in organizations, and how to share the value of security culture with senior leaders and boards in meaningful ways.
ASIS also sat down with ASIS Foundation Chair Richard Brooks, CPP, PCI, PSP, associate director for security, EMEA, for Collins Aerospace, about how the report came together and his top-level impressions of it. Read what he has to say here.

New ASIS Certificate Program: Essentials of Security Design Documentation
ASIS International is excited to introduce a new certificate program: Essentials of Security Design Documentation. This online certificate program walks you through every documentation type—requirements, drawings, specs, bid packages, and as-builts—so you can speak the language of architects, engineers, and integrators alike. Along the way, you'll build practical skills in applying industry standards, coordinating across teams, interpreting bid packages and vendor submissions, and maintaining accurate documentation through every revision.
As security systems become more integrated and technically demanding, strong documentation practices have never been more critical to reducing risk and ensuring compliance. Complete the course and assessment to earn your certificate of competency and begin translating operational needs into successful security solutions.
