Design surveillance coverage for security talent retention that supports investigation.
Building Programmes to Motivate and Retain Security Talent
An applied course in security talent retention built around the decisions practitioners actually face.
Course Overview
A control on security talent retention that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. Insider risk in this strand of corporate security practice is uncomfortable to discuss and expensive to ignore. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of the corporate security practice capability rather than to abstract argument. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on security talent retention and revise it on evidence. Applied research in corporate security practice consistently shows that early structure around this aspect of corporate security practice reduces downstream rework. It suits anyone whose decisions touch the corporate security practice discipline, in large organisations and small ones alike. A common pattern is strong design of security talent retention paired with weak follow-through. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this part of corporate security practice and the judgement to adapt it. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the corporate security practice discipline that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
