Loss Reporting and Management Information
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
Supervisors check registers and reports, and count incidents on a weekly sheet (module S6, Registers, Reports and Incident Data). Managers need the bigger picture: what the organisation is losing, where, how, and whether security spending is making a difference. That picture comes only from good reporting, stored in one place, measured the same way every time, and reported in a form that busy people will read.
Without it, decisions are made on memory and opinion. The loudest recent incident gets the budget, and slow, steady losses go unnoticed.
Focus: make reporting easy and expected, record the same facts every time, keep one database, measure what matters, and report so that decisions follow.
Learning objectives

- Set the minimum facts every incident record must hold.
- Run a central incident database with fixed categories.
