1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this survey is to provide accurate and up to date compensation data regarding
corporate security, crisis and continuity positions in the Asia-Pacific
The data and findings from this survey are intended for those professionals themselves, for their
industry peers in other regions of the world, Human Resource functions and for other industry stakeholders, such as recruitment firms
The intention in providing this data and findings is to enable a better understanding of compensation
specific to the Asia-Pacific, and how compensation packages relate to experience and structure of positions
The anticipated outcome is that companies creating corporate security, crisis and contingency
management functions in Asia-Pacific, as well as those that already have such positions, can position them appropriately in regard to location, management level, experience, education and compensation
The 2010 survey compares data from the 2006 to 2009 surveys which provides a benchmark and
trend analysis for the industry
Total Compensation figures across the survey group are all up compared with the 2009 survey, excluding
Regional Managers where a drop of 10.6% was reported
Average Total Compensation across the survey group has increased by 4.95% since 2010 and is almost on
par with the 2008 figure. Median Total Compensation is up by 5.6%, and on par with the 2008 result.
Base Compensation
Average Base Compensation across the 2010 survey group is up by 7% since 2009 and Median Base
Compensation is up by 12% in the same period
Bonuses
Bonuses account for 23.2% of Total Compensation, up from 17.3% in 2009 and very close to the 2008
figure. Education and Accreditation
The highest paid respondents have Masters level security and risk qualifications, up 10% compared with
the 2009 survey
The value of accreditation has risen again. CPP holders receive 27% more Total Compensation when
compared to 2006, with the 2010 figure up 6.3% on 2009. CFE holders have recorded the single largest increase in Total Compensation with a 25% increase between 2009 and 2010.
To achieve these numbers the base salary, annual bonuses, housing, education and other
allowances of respondents were added together
2006 to 2009 ACSG survey benchmark data is used where available and marked in each table
or page that it is used.
A breakdown of Total Compensation structures is provided in Section 4.0 An analysis of questions on career development is included at Section 5.0 A breakdown of respondents can be found in Section 6.0 The 2010 survey asked respondents performing crisis, emergency or contingency roles outside of a Corporate Security function to indicate such. As there were only 4 respondents who categorised themselves outside of a Security role this information has not been analyzed separately but rolled up into the broader results.
