Course Overview
A control on security rapid response teams that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. Most security failures involving response teams exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. The course gives participants a defensible structure for the wider corporate security practice agenda and the judgement to adapt it. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about security rapid response teams under scrutiny. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a security procedure for this area of corporate security practice as they go. The most reliable predictor of sound response teams is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The programme works equally well for those formalising security rapid response teams for the first time and those improving an existing approach. What blocks progress on response teams is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this aspect of corporate security practice ready to put in front of a decision maker.
