Course Overview
Guard force performance on periodic security audit programmes reflects supervision, not instruction. Security arrangements around audit programmes are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in the practice within corporate security practice that were visible long before the incident. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of periodic security audit programmes and prepares them for it. The programme is built to be used, and every section of this part of corporate security practice it covers ends in something applicable. Improvement in audit programmes stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to periodic security audit programmes in an order their organisation can absorb. The content is relevant to those who own audit programmes and to those who are held accountable for its results. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the corporate security practice discipline rather than a set of notes.
