Course Overview
Insider risk in advance site reconnaissance is uncomfortable to discuss and expensive to ignore. Security arrangements around this aspect of corporate security practice are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a security procedure for this strand of corporate security practice as they go. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting advance site reconnaissance, ready to be adapted internally. The programme converts the corporate security practice capability from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in this area of corporate security practice that were visible long before the incident. The level assumes working familiarity with the protected site but no prior formal training in advance site reconnaissance. Ambition around the corporate security practice capability outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. The programme closes with an action plan for this aspect of corporate security practice that each participant writes for their own organisation.
