Course Overview
Most security failures involving chain of custody management exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. The value of preparation for custody management is only visible on the day it is needed. The content is relevant to those who own this area of corporate security practice and to those who are held accountable for its results. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from chain of custody management, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. They acquire practical criteria for judging when the practice within corporate security practice is working and when it is only appearing to. Comparative studies of custody management across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Ambition around chain of custody management outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. This programme builds custody management from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this area of corporate security practice that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
