Course Overview
The value of preparation for security department structure is only visible on the day it is needed. Security arrangements around this area of corporate security practice are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. It concentrates on the parts of the practice within corporate security practice that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. A common pattern is strong design of security department structure paired with weak follow-through. Participants apply the wider corporate security practice agenda to their own protected site throughout, so the output is directly usable. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for this strand of corporate security practice. Comparative studies of security department structure across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what this aspect of corporate security practice has actually achieved. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this strand of corporate security practice that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
