Course Overview
The course examines how security professionals apply different techniques to assess a new site at the pre-construction stage, evaluating architectural drawings and visualisations or at an in-use facility, including a site survey and stakeholder consultation.
This course will be spread over one month and will comprise one two-hour live webinar each week, presented by SGW’s course tutors and security professionals. Following the conclusion of each
weekly webinar, delegates will progress through a module-based workbook and prepare a short presentation and a final assignment.

Security Needs Assessment
The Security Needs Assessment module includes a review of competences, techniques, tools and resources necessary to undertake a visual audit of the site and surroundings, identifying environmental cues and features pertinent to the security of the proposed development or in-use facility. This includes determination of plot extents, spatial use, infrastructure placement, access, circulation and the application of CPTED principles.
Facility Security Risks
The Facility Security Risks module will review the components and techniques used to undertake a ‘high level’ quantitative and qualitative Security Risk Assessment. Based upon the context of a sample project, delegates will identify critical assets, vulnerable points and design based threats of both an in-use and pre-construction facility, using assessment data provided within the course workbook and also, within the public domain.
Facility Security Review
The Facility Security Review module reviews and identifies conclusions made in the Facility Security Risks module and promotes techniques which security professionals can apply. This guides project stakeholders to make an informed decision regarding which risk mitigation to adopt. It also allows for the production of a Level 1 Operational Requirement (OR1) to ensure solutions are acceptable to all and that the stakeholders retain ownership of the process.
Certification
Course delegates will receive a certificate of attendance, which confirms the number of learning hours and continuing education unit (CEU) equivalent credits completed. This can be used for Continued Professional Development (CPD) purposes.
