Reduce avoidable variation in how construction phase project security is carried out across teams.
Managing Security for Major Industrial Projects During Construction
Turn construction phase project security from a stated policy into a practice your organisation can evidence.
Course Overview
Most security failures involving construction phase project security exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. A control on project security that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. It is designed for mixed groups, so that the practice within corporate security practice is examined from more than one functional angle. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about construction phase project security under scrutiny. Every module pairs a short input on this part of corporate security practice with structured practice on the participant's own material. A common pattern is strong design of project security paired with weak follow-through. Organisations that document construction phase project security properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The course covers project security at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the practice within corporate security practice that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
