Course Overview
Insider risk in pre-employment security vetting is uncomfortable to discuss and expensive to ignore. A control on the corporate security practice discipline that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. The programme works equally well for those formalising this aspect of corporate security practice for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of pre-employment security vetting and supervised application. 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. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to pre-employment security vetting in an order their organisation can absorb. Improvement in the wider corporate security practice agenda stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this strand of corporate security practice that participants can repeat annually.
