Course Overview
Most security failures involving facility vulnerability assessment exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. Security arrangements around this aspect of corporate security practice are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. Most organisations already have a policy on this strand of corporate security practice; far fewer can show it working. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in facility vulnerability assessment rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Applied research in corporate security practice consistently shows that early structure around the practice within corporate security practice reduces downstream rework. Participants who influence the wider corporate security practice agenda without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. The programme converts facility vulnerability assessment from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in this strand of corporate security practice before they become incidents. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this aspect of corporate security practice ready to put in front of a decision maker.
