About this Event
Personnel security is the foundation not only of your defence contracting success but also of your business and national security. With increasing scrutiny on supply chain risk and growing consequences for security breaches, understanding how to properly manage personnel risk has never been more critical.
This comprehensive training session bridges the gap between regulatory requirements and practical implementation, giving you knowledge and tools to protect your organisation, your people, your contracts and Australia's national security.
This training pays for itself by:
- helping you underpin all other security controls with a trusted workforce,
- reduce the risk of a security incident from missed behaviours of concern, and
- avoiding costly audit remediation requirements.

This interactive session goes beyond theory and provides you with practical and real-world applications you can implement immediately to uplift alignment with the Australian Standard for Workforce Screening, AS4811:2022.
