Course Overview
Security arrangements around security governance and strategic alignment are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. Insider risk in strategic alignment is uncomfortable to discuss and expensive to ignore. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the corporate security practice capability so that teams can disagree productively about it. Where security governance and strategic alignment is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the wider corporate security practice agenda. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting strategic alignment and under-invest in testing it. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to security governance and strategic alignment in an order their organisation can absorb. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of strategic alignment and supervised application. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this strand of corporate security practice survives a hostile question.
