Six Tiers.
One Mission.
Security Excellence.
Next Generation Security Practitioner is not just a training programme - It's a transformational learning Arc.
NGSP courses mirror the real challenges security teams face - moving from identifying risk to influencing decisions, building alliances, and executing under pressure. Training that transforms practitioners from technical contributors into strategic operators who can read the landscape, align to the business, and lead with credibility.
Driving Capability - Not just knowledge
-
Building a stronger bridge between security and the business.
-
Turning data into decisions.
-
Increasing resilience not slowing progress.
-
Creating a culture where security is instinctive.
Not Theory - An immersive practical experience
You’ll learn by doing - live simulations that recreate the real-life security situations. No lectures. Just the tools, mindsets, and behaviours that better outcomes. All our courses will earn you 10 CPE hours.
Security initiatives often fail in delivery, not design. Bottlenecks, unclear ownership and shifting priorities reduce impact and stall progress.
Teams struggle to identify what’s really blocking execution. Some initiatives lack alignment; others lose momentum or become too complex to implement. Without the ability to review, reframe and redesign, security ends up firefighting instead of improving resilience.
This course strengthens practitioners’ ability to remove blockers, design better from the start and execute solutions that deliver meaningful, lasting results.
A one-day sprint that will strengthen your delivery, remove blockages and enable you to
design and execute security initiatives with real world impact.

Close the gap between planned security initiatives and adoption
-
Address barriers, blockages and bottlenecks that hamper delivery
-
Identify and retire legacy work that consumes effort but adds little value
-
Design security plans that fit naturally into business workflows
-
Lead delivery conversations confidently so solutions hold up under pressure

Lesson Plan
4. Security by Design
How to design high-impact, business-aligned security initiatives from scratch using EDIPT – empathise, define, ideate, prototype and test.
Remove
How to confidently identify low-value, legacy or duplicated activities and decommission what no longer serves the business or improves security.
Rework
How to strengthen and streamline an initiative by tightening its design, removing friction and aligning it to real-world business needs.
Reframe
How to challenge assumptions, uncover the real business problem beneath the symptoms and restate the initiative’s purpose with clarity.
Review
How to examine an existing security initiatives through a diagnostic lens to identify what’s working, what’s broken and where value is being lost.
3. Security Blockages Bottlenecks and Barriers
How changes in external forces, business focus and risk appetite create a cascade of new threats and emerging risks across the organisation.
2. Why Design Matters
How businesses weigh up security risk (cost vs loss) and how real-world pressures influence risk acceptance and decision-making
1. Why Driving Resilience Matters
The critical challenges practitioners and leaders face when understanding and communicating security risk inside modern organisations
There are seven immersive skills sessions that underpin this course. Accompanied by powerful simulation-based activities during the workshop, that simulate real life security challenges.

The NGSP Experience
Next Generation Security Practitioner blends video learning, live simulation and ready-to-use toolkits to create a fast, immersive learning arc. You won’t just hear ideas - you’ll test them under pressure, practise with realistic scenarios, and leave with methods you can apply immediately inside your organisation.
