Were you a part of 2015’s growth in the security industry? Apply to be ranked on the 2016 SDM 100 Report to find out. The SDM 100 Report has been showcasing the gains in the security industry since its debut in 1991. It ranks U.S. companies that earn their revenues from the sale, installation, service and monitoring of electronic security systems — such as intrusion and fire alarm, access control, video surveillance, and related low-voltage systems — to residential and non-residential customers. 

Why have we been publishing this report for 26years? The primary objective of the report is to measure consumer dollars gained by alarm companies, in order to present an account of the size of the market served by the 100 largest security providers. SDM 100 firms are ranked by their recurring monthly revenue (RMR). Find out how your company ranked among its competitors in last year by applying now.
