Course Overview

Security arrangements around supplier integrity verification are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. The value of preparation for the corporate security practice discipline is only visible on the day it is needed. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place the corporate security practice capability among the areas with the widest performance spread. The difficulty is not agreeing that supplier integrity verification matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The programme works equally well for those formalising this strand of corporate security practice for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about the corporate security practice discipline in their own setting. Participants leave with a method for supplier integrity verification, not a set of opinions about it. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about this aspect of corporate security practice. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this strand of corporate security practice broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
