BSIA members Mitie has released its Security Radar Report for 2025, an annual intelligence-led report that identifies seven key priorities shaping the future of security in the UK. Reading this report offers strategic foresight, benchmarking, policy readiness, professional credibility, and marketing and messaging for BSIA members, discussing key changes and predictions for the future of the security sector.
Security Strategy
The coming year will emphasise greater collaboration and interoperability across security services to enhance public safety. Organisations are expected to align more closely with partners and peers to create unified, proactive security strategies.
Legislative Change
With new laws on the horizon, organisations will be held more accountable for their security practices. Those that take a proactive approach to compliance and risk management will be better positioned to adapt and thrive.
Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG)
Progress in tackling VAWG will hinge on improved incident reporting and collective action. Security teams must prioritise safeguarding measures and foster environments that encourage transparency and support.
Rising Extremism
Extremism is becoming more complex and fast-moving. Security professionals must act swiftly and collaboratively to counter evolving threats, with intelligence sharing and rapid response capabilities being key.
Next-Gen Threats
Emerging threats require a fresh approach to risk management. Organisations will need to rethink traditional models and adopt agile, forward-looking strategies to stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated security challenges.
Technology and AI
This year marks an evolution—not a revolution—in security technology. Success will come from adopting tools that deliver real business value rather than chasing the latest innovations for their own sake.
Integrating Law Enforcement
Enhanced coordination between private security and law enforcement will improve crime response. Sharing information effectively will lead to smarter police deployment and tangible consequences for criminal activity.
