The Security Incident Management and Investigations Training Course for Security Managers at Oxford Training Centre is designed to address the practical and procedural needs of security professionals tasked with managing, investigating, and responding to a wide range of incidents in corporate environments. This programme forms an integral part of the broader suite of Safety and Security Training Courses, ensuring participants gain a structured and methodical understanding of incident handling, investigation techniques, risk analysis, and post-event evaluation.
Participants are guided through the entire incident lifecycle—from initial detection and reporting through containment, root cause analysis, and compliance-based resolution. The course places strong emphasis on real-world operational challenges, and introduces the tools, techniques, and governance standards that align with both physical and cyber incident response expectations in today’s security landscape. Through structured content and hands-on scenarios, participants will acquire the skills to coordinate multi-departmental efforts, document findings professionally, and lead compliant, data-driven investigations that contribute to organisational resilience and risk mitigation.
