Why 79% of Security Teams Respond Faster – And Why It Matters”
The upcoming 2025 Physical Security Operations Benchmark Report from Trackforce reveals a striking data point: 79.17% of security teams respond to high-priority incidents in under 15 minutes. But what does “response time” really mean in physical security?
It’s much more than dispatching an officer. True response time is the entire chain of actions: validating alerts, sharing information, and triggering the right actions without hesitation. Fast response depends on integrated incident management systems, real-time communications, and connected technologies that give teams immediate visibility into threats.
So why isn’t everyone there yet? For the remaining 21%, outdated systems, siloed processes, and stretched resources often get in the way. These roadblocks add friction to the workflows – and when seconds matter, friction creates risk.
The takeaway: rapid response isn’t just about speed, it’s about readiness. Organizations with strong incident management capabilities are better equipped to contain threats quickly, minimize damage, and keep people safe.
