Course Overview

A control on security return on investment that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. The value of preparation for return on investment is only visible on the day it is needed. A common pattern is strong design of this area of corporate security practice paired with weak follow-through. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in security return on investment, not around theory headings. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better the corporate security practice discipline is rarely technical. They leave able to brief senior management on return on investment in terms that support a decision. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of security return on investment rather than to abstract argument. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on return on investment are used deliberately. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this aspect of corporate security practice that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
