Course purpose

Make stakeholder relationships visible and useful

A stakeholder register provides a structured way for a security department to understand, manage and engage the individuals and groups connected to its security operations.

Regular and structured engagement builds trust, strengthens the security department’s reputation and supports better communication and decision-making.

This practical course guides participants through identifying, categorising, analysing, prioritising and maintaining a stakeholder register tailored to their organisation.
