A control on coastal and offshore installation security that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. Insider risk in installation security is uncomfortable to discuss and expensive to ignore. It is written for people who have to make this area of corporate security practice work with the resources they already have. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better coastal and offshore installation security is rarely technical. Participants gain a realistic view of what this strand of corporate security practice costs and what it returns. It concentrates on the parts of installation security that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of coastal and offshore installation security is examined, not just described. Ambition around installation security outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the corporate security practice capability rather than a set of notes.
