Course Overview

Most security failures involving seaport security management exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. A control on this part of corporate security practice that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in the wider corporate security practice agenda before they become incidents. Across sectors, teams that rehearse seaport security management outperform teams that only plan it. The course sets out a working method for this part of corporate security practice that participants can apply the week they return. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make this aspect of corporate security practice hard in practice. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting seaport security management and under-invest in testing it. The programme works equally well for those formalising this area of corporate security practice for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the wider corporate security practice agenda rather than a set of notes.
