About ISTP
Purpose, essence, audience, global context and organisers of ISTP: from terrorism risk to sustainable organisations.
Why ISTP exists
ISTP is a professional platform addressing terrorism risk within complex industrial environments, critical infrastructure, organisations and communities. It brings together two disciplines usually studied apart: industrial security and terrorism preparedness.
Preparedness does not stop at emergency response. ISTP places it within one line of reasoning: terrorism preparedness → security resilience → operational continuity → sustainable organisations.
Programme objective: participants are able to assess a facility's security risk in a structured way, recognise threat indicators including hostile reconnaissance, design proportionate preparedness measures, maintain critical functions through disruption, and communicate security needs to management and the competent authorities through the proper channels.
The umbrella framework is organisational resilience: the capability to prevent, prepare for, respond to, adapt to and recover from disruption while continuing critical functions.
Four capabilities, one purpose
Understanding the threat
Reading intent, capability and exposure through risk intelligence, public cases and operating context.
Strengthening preparedness
Preparing plans, roles, compliance and coordination lines before they are needed.
Building resilience
Layered protection, early detection and surveillance awareness, integrated with security governance.
Sustaining what matters
Maintaining critical functions, recovering operations and protecting people, assets and communities over the long term.
Designed for those who already carry the responsibility
CSOs & Security Managers
Accountable for facility risk at board level and expected to explain security spending in business terms.
Gada Utama Holders
Professionals at the top of the national ladder seeking a credible next step towards international practice.
Senior Security-Company Leaders
Security service providers competing on competence and compliance rather than headcount and price.
Critical Infrastructure Operators
Energy, mining, ports, power, transport and industrial estates: sectors with regulated security obligations.
Corporate Risk & Compliance
Risk, HSE and compliance leads who own business continuity and need its security dimension.
Property & Facility Management
Managers of high-occupancy buildings, shopping centres, hotels and mixed-use estates facing crowded-place threat scenarios.
Eligibility
- Responsibility for security, risk, facilities or compliance in an organisation; or Gada Utama certification; or a management role in a licensed security company (BUJP).
- Gada Utama is not required; professionals with equivalent responsibilities are eligible.
- Every registration goes through CV-based selection, including a background check with Universitas Indonesia, to keep the cohort at a consistent level.

Three institutions, clear roles
Universitas Indonesia
Pranata Pembangunan Research Centre, School of Sustainable Development, Universitas Indonesia. Hosts delivery on the UI campus, provides academic review and validation of the curriculum, co-brands the Certificate of Completion, archives completion records, and holds the programme's bank and tax accounts.
INDOGUARD.org
A division of PT HRM Multi Sinergy and the programme's operating manager: participant administration, logistics, communications, faculty coordination, participant data protection and programme reporting.
3S Sandi Satria Solo
PT Sandi Satria Solo, strategic partner and learning centre. Provides training infrastructure, simulation and practice facilities, and faculty for agreed modules.
The three parties work under a tripartite cooperation agreement for the ISTP Programme (No. PKS–271/UN2.F13.UKK1/PPM.01/2026, 22 September 2026). APSI (Indonesian Security Professionals Association) supports as a professional community partner.

Guidance on self-managed (in-house) security
Public institutions contribute as resource persons and through guidance on self-managed security within their mandates. Display of their logos does not imply certification, accreditation or quality assurance of the programme by those institutions.
Taught within real coordination chains
Corporate security does not stand alone. ISTP teaches its coordination architecture explicitly: to whom a facility reports, when, and on what legal basis.
National regulation
Law No. 5/2018, Government Regulation No. 43/2012, self-managed security regulation, the National Vital Objects framework and Law No. 27/2022 on Personal Data Protection.
Coordination doctrine
Escalation and reporting lines between private security, the police and counter-terrorism authorities.
Sectoral oversight
Security obligations in regulated industries: energy, finance, transport.
Regional framework
The ASEAN Convention on Counter Terrorism (2007) and its implications for private operators.
International references
ASIS and ISO standards; the UNODC Education for Justice counter-terrorism module series.
