What membership helps you achieve
Working together and building on lessons learned — clearer readiness, agreed priorities, stronger coordination.
See where you stand — honestly and in evidence
A structured, self-directed review that helps an authority understand its readiness across the full scope of protective security — not a tick-box exercise, but an evidence-based score showing what works, where the gaps are, and what to prioritise next.
Included with membership — part of the practices library.
Every rating backed by documented evidence — the score reflects what your authority actually does.
Score yourself across governance, risk, people, operations, technology and assurance in one place.
Findings turn into agreed, prioritised improvements — so you know what to fix first and why.
Re-assess after improvements to track progress and turn lessons into measurable gains.
How it works
Rate your authority against the standard with evidence.
See strengths, gaps, and what most affects readiness.
Turn findings into a short list of improvements.
Re-assess to confirm progress and set the next cycle.
The member journey
A simple, repeatable cycle — join, assess, plan, train, and review.
Become a member authority and access the network and resources.
Use the self-security assessment to understand current readiness.
Turn findings into agreed, prioritised actions.
Build capability through targeted training and exercises.
Document outcomes and refine priorities over time.

Why you are here
Every lesson in P²SeMS was paid for at a real incident. This syllabus turns that hard-won record into a course an authority can learn from, measure itself against, and be certified to. If you protect a port, an airport, or the community around it, this is the standard that lets you prove you are ready — before the day you need to be.
Who this is for
Police and security leaders, airport and seaport executives, engineering and public-works directors, CISOs and technology leaders, emergency managers, and the boards, insurers and regulators who rely on them. P²SeMS defines responsibility by function, not job title, so whatever your role, there is a seat for you in it.
What you will gain
- A shared language for security across every function — so police, security, engineering, cyber and executives finally describe ‘good’ the same way.
- A way to see your own readiness honestly — an evidence-based score across fifteen chapters, not a feeling.
- The confidence to demonstrate readiness to a board, an insurer, or a regulator — with evidence, not assurances.
- A path to recognised certification — and a community of authorities on the same journey.
How the course is built
P²SeMS is set out in fifteen chapters, each taught the same way — a structure that makes it both learnable and certifiable:
- Part A — The Standard: the requirements — what a ready authority does.
- Part B — Implementation: how each function delivers it, with a first-90-days path.
- Part C — Lessons Case: a real event that shows why the requirement exists.
The whole system runs on one cycle — Plan • Execute • Verify • Act — so learning never stops at knowing; it ends at proving.
The curriculum
| Learning unit | What it covers | By the end you can… |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · Foundations | Why P²SeMS exists (1); Responsibility & Governance (2); The Four Security Domains (3) | Stand up governance and treat physical, personnel, information and cyber as one system. |
| 2 · Risk & the Cycle | Risk & the Risk Register (4); Plan • Execute • Verify • Act (5) | Build a defensible risk register and run security as a measured, continuous cycle. |
| 3 · People & Intelligence | The Security Community — See Say Act (6); Intelligence-Led Security (7) | Turn staff and the public into a reporting network and drive posture from intelligence. |
| 4 · Operational Readiness | Operational Capability (8); Communications & Interoperability (9); Readiness, Crisis & Resilience (10) | Field a capability that is staffed, connected, rehearsed, and able to sustain a prolonged, all-hazards event. |
| 5 · Assurance & Improvement | Security Assurance (11); Technology & Data (12); Organisational Learning (13); Continual Improvement (14) | Prove performance with evidence, govern your technology and data, and keep improving after every event. |
| 6 · Certification | Operational Assurance & Certification (15) | Take your authority to a recognised certification. |
| Applied annexes | Protective design for new build & refurbishment; Counter-UAS (drones); a CISO briefing | Design security into your estate, meet the drone threat, and connect cyber leadership into the whole. |
How you learn it
- Read — the Standard and its plain-language implementation guidance, chapter by chapter.
- Assess — score yourself with the self-assessment workbook; every rating backed by evidence.
- Exercise — test your readiness through measurable, simulation-based exercises (REDI), from tabletop to full-scale.
- Facilitate — run guided sessions with your team using the facilitator’s guide and worked examples.
- Certify — close the gaps, re-measure, and pursue certification.
The certification pathway
Pathway described in the supplied syllabus; these are not promises of services included with membership.
- Built to P²SeMS — self-declared and desktop-verified — you have adopted the system.
- P²SeMS Assured — independently assessed on site — your readiness is proven.
- ASCS / SSCS — Airport / Seaport sector certification — the full standard, localised to your jurisdiction.
Bring it to your authority
You do not have to build a security system from scratch, and you do not have to learn its lessons the hard way — others already paid for them. Start with the two-page synopsis, measure yourself with the workbook, and talk to us about the path to certification. Explore the interactive prototype, and join a growing community of authorities making the world’s ports and airports measurably safer — port by port.
