Our Managing Director Farah B. F. ISRM on addressing the challenges of recruiting and retaining women into the security industry.
The security industry is facing a recruitment crisis, and while much of the focus has been on new technology and adapting to modern threats, there’s a more human issue being overlooked: getting women into the sector and keeping them here. However, Farah B. F. ISRM Benis, Managing Director of the FFA Security Group says that, despite the clear need for gender diversity and the unique skills women bring, we’re still dealing with outdated attitudes that make it harder for women to join, let alone thrive. "Security has long been a male-dominated industry, and the perception that it’s a “man’s job” remains pervasive. This isn’t just a surface-level problem; it runs deep in how people view the profession. The idea that security is all about physical strength and brute force still dominates, even though modern security demands far more than that. It requires skills in communication, conflict resolution, emotional intelligence, and situational awareness – all areas where women excel. Yet, these qualities are often undervalued because of old stereotypes about what the job should look like. "In my research paper published last year, a staggering 99% of women working in the security sector reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment during their careers. Compare this to just 18% of male respondents. This stark disparity shows how deeply ingrained the problems are for women in this industry, and it’s no wonder they’re deterred from pursuing long-term careers in security."

🗓️ Today is International Security Officers’ Day. Over the past year, we’ve heard from SIA licence holders who’ve supported a bereaved family in hospital, prevented a distressed young person at a concert causing themselves a severe injury, and helped a young woman in a nightclub after a suspected spiking incident. Many security operatives came forward to share some of the challenges they face in their work, and the training that helps them to be prepared in different circumstances. If you have a story to share, visit our campaign page and click on ‘Share your story’. ➡️ https://orlo.uk/2RZX8 As the regulator of the private security industry, we wish all licensed security operatives happy International Security Officers’ Day. Thank you for keeping the UK safe. #SIAat20 #ISODay24 #UKSaysThankYou #ThankYou #InternationalSecurityOfficersDay
