Course Overview
The value of preparation for security readiness testing is only visible on the day it is needed. Most security failures involving this part of corporate security practice exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. The programme converts the corporate security practice capability from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on security readiness testing are used deliberately. The professional literature on this area of corporate security practice converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting the corporate security practice capability, ready to be adapted internally. Improvement in security readiness testing stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a security procedure for this area of corporate security practice as they go. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the practice within corporate security practice that would make a visible difference.
