Course Overview

Most security failures involving security discipline and ethics exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. Guard force performance on discipline and ethics reflects supervision, not instruction. The programme is built to be used, and every section of this aspect of corporate security practice it covers ends in something applicable. Improvement in security discipline and ethics stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. It is designed for mixed groups, so that this area of corporate security practice is examined from more than one functional angle. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place discipline and ethics among the areas with the widest performance spread. Participants gain a realistic view of what security discipline and ethics costs and what it returns. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from discipline and ethics, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the practice within corporate security practice ready to put in front of a decision maker.
