Balance security requirements in security programme effectiveness review against operational practicality.
Periodic Review of the Effectiveness of Corporate Security Programmes
A working programme in security programme effectiveness review for managers who have to deliver with existing resources.
Course Overview
Security arrangements around security programme effectiveness review are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. Guard force performance on effectiveness review reflects supervision, not instruction. Participants leave with a method for the corporate security practice discipline, not a set of opinions about it. The content is relevant to those who own security programme effectiveness review and to those who are held accountable for its results. Participants gain a realistic view of what this strand of corporate security practice costs and what it returns. The professional literature on effectiveness review converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Buying a tool rarely fixes security programme effectiveness review; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of effectiveness review and supervised application. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this part of corporate security practice survives a hostile question.
