Course Overview

Most security failures involving customs-trade partnership programmes exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. Security arrangements around the practice within corporate security practice are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. The programme works equally well for those formalising this part of corporate security practice for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what customs-trade partnership programmes has actually achieved. The difficulty is not agreeing that this strand of corporate security practice matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Participants leave with a method for the corporate security practice capability, not a set of opinions about it. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place customs-trade partnership programmes among the areas with the widest performance spread. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a security procedure for the practice within corporate security practice as they go. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this part of corporate security practice that participants can repeat annually.
