To support national security and economic prosperity, organisations must be equipped to protect their sensitive information, critical processes and key people from the threats of espionage, sabotage and assassination. Doing so requires Security teams to understand those threats, the risks they create, and how to mitigated them. These efforts are broadly termed ‘Counter-Intelligence’.

Personnel Assurance & Vetting
Personnel security is too often treated as paperwork, discovered late and resolved slowly. This course covers how to plan it properly: which roles genuinely need national security vetting and at what level, applying the Baseline Personnel Security Standard, sponsorship routes and realistic clearance lead times, and what aftercare and insider risk obligations follow once clearance is granted. Practical throughout, and built for people accountable for personnel assurance in defence and CNI environments.
