Training

Developing skills and competencies

As with many areas of business, the security function can be broad-ranging and complex. It is essential that individuals develop core competencies to deal with the breadth of challenges and that the specialist knowledge they need is imparted effectively.

The training needs of a security team should be assessed by first fully understanding existing competency levels and then identifying shortcomings or areas that need particular development. Appropriate learning and training programmes can then be devised.

Budgets can be developed to address specific requirements and, by focusing training resources where they will yield the most benefit, unnecessary spending can be avoided. A well-developed learning and training programme also has a positive effect on staff retention, helping to protect the original investment made during the hiring process.
