Course Overview

Security arrangements around security emergency response plans are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. The value of preparation for response plans is only visible on the day it is needed. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about the wider corporate security practice agenda under scrutiny. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of security emergency response plans is examined, not just described. The course sets out a working method for this strand of corporate security practice that participants can apply the week they return. It suits anyone whose decisions touch response plans, in large organisations and small ones alike. A common pattern is strong design of security emergency response plans paired with weak follow-through. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in response plans that were visible long before the incident. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the corporate security practice capability survives a hostile question.
