Course Overview
The value of preparation for physical protection systems is only visible on the day it is needed. Most security failures involving this area of corporate security practice exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. They leave able to brief senior management on this aspect of corporate security practice in terms that support a decision. What blocks progress on physical protection systems is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. The level assumes working familiarity with the protected site but no prior formal training in this part of corporate security practice. Practitioner evidence points the same way: this aspect of corporate security practice improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of physical protection systems and prepares them for it. The course covers the corporate security practice discipline at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this strand of corporate security practice that participants can repeat annually.
