The Clarity Factory looks forward to working with sponsors who are thought leading innovators within the security industry to deliver the 2026 Annual CSO Survey.
What CSOs said about our 2025 Annual CSO Survey:
“This is a must-read for everyone in the corporate security profession”
"This report has become a “must read” for our team and the industry."
"This industry has needed an insightful product like this for a long time."
"I shared the report with my boss, and it has resulted in a useful and constructive discussion. Very helpful given the usual OPEX pressures."
The survey will launch in March and the survey report will be published in September 2026 to coincide with CSO budget and review cycles to enable data to inform decision making.
The report will be launched at an event in London as well as a virtual webinar.
We will work with a specialist media advisor to seek mainstream and specialist coverage for the report and we will distribute via our networks and LinkedIn.
The launch will be followed by a series of three webinars to continue discussions about the data.
We will also create a data pack available to download via our website to enable conference speakers to use the report data to help amplify the visibility, reach, and impact of the survey.
We will create a 2026 CSO Advisory Council to inform the development of the survey to ensure it closely matches CSO needs. The 2025 CSO Advisory Council included CSOs from Barclays, BP, Johnson Mathey, Solventum, Macquarie Group, Diageo, Philip Morris International, Shell, and Take Two Games.
