SLRI Survey Will Find Average Cost of Loss from Fraud, Theft, Abuse

March 10, 2022 – The Security Executive Council’s (SEC) Security Leadership Research Institute (SLRI) is working with Resolver to investigate the organizational cost of loss due to incidents like theft, fraud and abuse.

While the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners tracks cost of loss for occupational fraud, there is currently no public research that offers an industry average of cost of loss that includes fraud and other types of events such as armed robbery, assault, abuse, product contamination/tampering, and theft. The SLRI hopes to collect enough data to find this average, allowing practitioners to compare their own numbers against it.

To this end, the SLRI is seeking security practitioners to participate in a 10-minute survey focusing on cost of loss and how they calculate loss avoidance. Data collected will be reported anonymously and only in aggregate. Participants will receive a copy of the results after the survey closes and analyses have been conducted.
