We recommend that you then complete the mini training ‘Assessing and protecting vulnerable threats’ so that you can learn how to carry out the assessment and apply the required protection measures.
5-step identification process
This course will teach you a simple to use 5-step process, so that you can identify which threats and vulnerabilities are relevant to your business, including those that come from claims. This ensures that you don’t ‘fill up’ your assessment with unnecessary threats which will overwhelm you and prevent you from taking action.
