Course Overview
Most security failures involving supply chain continuity exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. The value of preparation for the corporate security practice capability is only visible on the day it is needed. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make this strand of corporate security practice hard in practice. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for supply chain continuity. The version of the practice within corporate security practice described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Where this aspect of corporate security practice is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. This programme builds supply chain continuity from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of this strand of corporate security practice to standardise and which to leave flexible. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the practice within corporate security practice that would make a visible difference.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Estimate what supply chain continuity costs to run properly, and what is lost when it is not.
Assess the threat picture relevant to supply chain continuity rather than a generic one.
Review contracts and agreements for the obligations they create around supply chain continuity.
Identify the failure points in supply chain continuity most likely to cause loss, and control them first.
Review supply chain continuity after each incident, exercise and change of threat.
Build the reporting on supply chain continuity that senior management can act on.
