Course overview

Physical protection and operational safety require clear procedures alongside technical controls. Without structured policies and disciplined surveying, facilities remain exposed to perimeter breaches, personnel vulnerabilities and uncoordinated responses during emergencies. This programme sets out the operational foundations required to coordinate corporate security teams and safeguard physical assets across diverse facilities.

Delegates review the drafting of policies and procedures before exploring perimeter defences, access controls and electronic surveillance, including CCTV and intruder detection. Instruction covers manpower screening, background vetting and ongoing training standards for security staff.

Nine topics are covered in total. The remaining sessions address threat identification, risk mitigation models, investigative steps, evidence documentation and crisis response planning. Practical scenarios help delegates assess site vulnerabilities and establish resilient operational routines.
