Key Takeaways

  • Physical security analyst interviews test three domains: assessment methodology, technology platforms, and executive communication
  • Behavioral questions focus on incident response, investigation, and stakeholder management — not guard-level operational scenarios
  • Technical questions expect specific platform names (Lenel, Genetec, Milestone), methodology references (CPTED, CARVER), and quantified outcomes
  • Case study rounds present facility assessment scenarios requiring structured risk analysis and costed recommendations
  • Salary negotiation should reference ASIS compensation data and certification premiums (CPP adds 12-18%)
