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.
Identifying emerging security risk across the corporate environment is a critical task faced by InfoSec teams. An even tougher challenge is bringing it to light and getting the most important people in the room to listen.
Security teams often sense danger early but struggle to be heard. Risks move faster than organisations can read them, and early indicators get dismissed as noise. Practitioners battle bias, apathy and pressure that dilute their message.
By the time leaders react, the harm is already visible. This course builds the clarity and influence needed to surface and communicate security risk, with confidence and authority.
A one-day high-impact experience that sharpens your ability to spot risk early, read the landscape clearly and surface emerging risks with confidence.

Workshop Lessons
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.
1. Why Risk Matters
The critical challenges practitioners and leaders face when understanding and communicating security risk inside modern organisations.
2. Risk Mindset
How businesses weigh up security risk (cost vs loss) and how real-world pressures influence risk acceptance and decision-making.
3. Understanding the Risk Landscape
How changes in external forces, business focus and risk appetite create a cascade of new threats and emerging risks across the organisation.
4. THOR Risk Lens
How to view risks through a Technical, Human, Operational and Regulatory lens to understand where they originate.
5. Increasing Your TVI-Q
How to develop a powerful and fast way of assessing risk using TVI-Q (the three question rule).
6. Business Impact Assessment
How to identify and quantify real business harm and build clear loss scenarios grounded in operational reality.
7. Mitigating Risk
Determining risk ratings and required mitigations to bring risk to a level the business is prepared to accept.
