Course Overview
The value of preparation for security-led business continuity is only visible on the day it is needed. Guard force performance on the wider corporate security practice agenda reflects supervision, not instruction. Improvement in this strand of corporate security practice stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of security-led business continuity rather than to abstract argument. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting the practice within corporate security practice, ready to be adapted internally. Comparative studies of this strand of corporate security practice across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The programme converts security-led business continuity from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this area of corporate security practice, not for observers of it. The final session converts the week's work on the practice within corporate security practice into commitments with owners and dates.
