Course Overview
The value of preparation for security policies and procedures is only visible on the day it is needed. A control on policies and procedures that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on the corporate security practice capability and revise it on evidence. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in security policies and procedures that were visible long before the incident. A common pattern is strong design of the corporate security practice discipline paired with weak follow-through. It treats policies and procedures as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of security policies and procedures rather than to abstract argument. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on policies and procedures are used deliberately. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this part of corporate security practice broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
