The Fast50 is a rankings and market research feature in Security Business open to all North American security integrators. The companies ranked in theĀ annual Security BusinessĀ Fast50Ā are recognized and ranked based on percentage growth and revenue growth ā with their overall ranking balancing those two considerations using a simple but effective algorithm.
To enter, companies confidentially report to us their three most recent fiscal years worth of gross revenues. Using those numbers, we compute the revenue growth and percentage growth for each of their three most recent fiscal years. We average the growth numbers to generate an average revenue growth for the company, and we do the same for the company to create an average percentage growth.
