Course overview
Enterprise security leaders must protect people, facilities, information, operations and reputation while supporting business objectives, managing duty-of-care obligations and making defensible investment decisions. The work extends beyond guarding and access control. It requires a clear security governance model, intelligence-led risk assessment, coordinated incident management, business continuity planning, investigations, third-party controls and reporting that senior leaders can act upon.
This course develops the methods needed to lead enterprise security as a risk-managed business function. Participants apply ISO 31000 risk principles, ISO 18788 security operations management requirements, crisis management structures, threat assessment methods, security programme design and performance measurement. They learn to connect physical security, personnel security, travel risk, cyber risk interfaces, resilience planning and supplier assurance within one operating model. Attention is given to board reporting, budget cases, legal and ethical boundaries, and decision-making during serious incidents.
The course is instructor-led over 10 days, delivered in classroom locations in more than 50 cities or live online. Each training day runs from 08:30 to 16:30, providing about 6.5 contact hours. Short technical briefings are combined with sector cases, group analysis, incident simulations and structured application planning. Participants progressively build a security management package from the first week, then test, refine and present it during the second week. They receive a certificate of completion and leave with reusable templates for risk assessment, governance, crisis response, assurance and executive reporting.
The course is suited to experienced security, resilience, risk, facilities, safety and operational leaders who are responsible for enterprise-wide security decisions or who are moving into such roles.
