Most security failures involving security reputational risk exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. Guard force performance on the practice within corporate security practice reflects supervision, not instruction. Where this strand of corporate security practice is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a security procedure for security reputational risk as they go. The programme works equally well for those formalising the corporate security practice capability for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Moving this part of corporate security practice from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what security reputational risk has actually achieved. The programme converts this strand of corporate security practice from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. The final module sets out how progress on the wider corporate security practice agenda will be evidenced six months later.
