Course Overview

Guard force performance on travel security risk assessment reflects supervision, not instruction. A control on risk assessment that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. Comparative studies of this area of corporate security practice across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Participants apply travel security risk assessment to their own protected site throughout, so the output is directly usable. A common pattern is strong design of this part of corporate security practice paired with weak follow-through. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting risk assessment, ready to be adapted internally. It is designed for mixed groups, so that travel security risk assessment is examined from more than one functional angle. The course covers risk assessment at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the corporate security practice discipline sustainable.
