Course Overview

Most security failures involving early warning and intelligent sensing exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. The value of preparation for intelligent sensing is only visible on the day it is needed. Improvement in this strand of corporate security practice stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in early warning and intelligent sensing before they become incidents. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this aspect of corporate security practice and supervised application. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on intelligent sensing are used deliberately. The course covers early warning and intelligent sensing at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Practitioner evidence points the same way: intelligent sensing improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Participants leave with a plan for the practice within corporate security practice sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Exercise and test arrangements for early warning and intelligent sensing under realistic conditions.

02

Address insider risk and personnel vetting relevant to intelligent sensing.

03

Balance security requirements in early warning and intelligent sensing against operational practicality.

04

Diagnose whether a problem in intelligent sensing is one of design, resourcing or discipline.

05

Structure records of early warning and intelligent sensing so that they answer the questions an auditor will actually ask.

06

Establish what evidence would demonstrate that intelligent sensing is under control.

07

Design surveillance coverage for early warning and intelligent sensing that supports investigation.

Course Modules

01

Early warning and intelligent sensing: investigation, evidence and reporting

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Handling evidence from early warning and intelligent sensing so it survives scrutiny

  • Record what was learned when early warning and intelligent sensing did not go as planned.
  • Assess insider risk in roles with privileged access to intelligent sensing.
  • Define the first response actions for an incident involving early warning and intelligent sensing.
  • Confirm recorded material from intelligent sensing is retained long enough to be useful.

Session 2Exercising the plan for intelligent sensing realistically

  • Agree the indicators that will show whether early warning and intelligent sensing is improving.
  • Protect sensitive information relating to intelligent sensing from casual disclosure.
  • Anticipate the objections early warning and intelligent sensing will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Report on intelligent sensing in terms that support an investment decision.
02

Intelligent sensing: procedures, access control and identity

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The decisions in intelligent sensing that cannot be delegated

  • Set escalation criteria and out-of-hours contacts for early warning and intelligent sensing.
  • Rehearse the briefing on intelligent sensing that would follow an incident.
  • Review early warning and intelligent sensing after every incident, exercise or change in threat.
  • Identify vulnerabilities in intelligent sensing and rank them by consequence, not ease of fix.

Session 2Supervising the guard force on intelligent sensing

  • Build the threat picture for early warning and intelligent sensing from sources relevant to this site and sector.
  • Set escalation thresholds for intelligent sensing that work out of hours.
  • Check guard force instructions for early warning and intelligent sensing are current and understood.
  • Confirm that those complying with intelligent sensing understand why it exists.
03

Intelligent sensing: threat assessment and intelligence

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The first fifteen minutes of an incident involving intelligent sensing

  • Map the handovers in early warning and intelligent sensing between functions and secure them.
  • Identify where judgement in intelligent sensing is legitimate and where it is not.
  • Review surveillance coverage for early warning and intelligent sensing against likely approach routes.
  • Verify identity checks applied at entry points relevant to intelligent sensing.

Session 2Assessing the threat to early warning and intelligent sensing specifically, not generically

  • Arrange the handover of early warning and intelligent sensing so capability survives staff changes.
  • Review whether intelligent sensing is aligned with the objectives of the protected site.
  • Establish evidence handling and chain of custody for early warning and intelligent sensing.
  • Build the competence framework that supports intelligent sensing.
04

Intelligent sensing: governance, assurance and investment case

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The hard cases in intelligent sensing and how to reason about them

  • Compare the cost of early warning and intelligent sensing with the cost of its absence.
  • Identify single points of dependency in intelligent sensing and reduce them.
  • Confirm vetting standards applied to staff and contractors in early warning and intelligent sensing.
  • Remove steps in intelligent sensing that add effort without adding assurance.

Session 2Making intelligent sensing work when resources are constrained

  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for early warning and intelligent sensing.
  • Supervise and spot-check performance on intelligent sensing rather than relying on reports.
  • Coordinate arrangements for early warning and intelligent sensing with civil defence and police in advance.
  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when intelligent sensing underperforms.
