Build the reporting on internal security auditing that senior management can act on.
Internal Security Auditing Under International Standards
A working programme in internal security auditing for managers who have to deliver with existing resources.
Course Overview
Insider risk in internal security auditing is uncomfortable to discuss and expensive to ignore. The value of preparation for the wider corporate security practice agenda is only visible on the day it is needed. Organisations that document the practice within corporate security practice properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in internal security auditing rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about the corporate security practice discipline under scrutiny. It treats the corporate security practice capability as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting internal security auditing and under-invest in testing it. The content is relevant to those who own this area of corporate security practice and to those who are held accountable for its results. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this strand of corporate security practice ready to put in front of a decision maker.
