Making Your Security Initiatives Matter to the Business.
A full-day working session for RSSC teams. Walk in as technical experts. Walk out knowing how to talk to the people who control the budget.
Your Team Knows Security. Do They Know Fundraising?
This is not a security skills problem. Your team is exceptional at identifying risk, executing compliance programs, and managing complex technical environments.
The problem is that their role in the organization is not just Risk Management and Security. Their role — whether they know it or not — also includes Fundraising.
Because without funding, the best security program in the industry is just a very detailed wish list.
Making the ask is a different language than explaining the details. The Workshop teaches your team to speak both.
One Day. One Framework. A Completely Different Conversation.
The GGS Workshop is a working session — not a seminar. Teams work through real initiatives they are currently trying to fund, using a live case study and GGS’s proprietary 7-Element Framework. By end of day, every participant has applied the framework to an actual proposal they own.
The curriculum covers:
- Profit First, Risk Second: how executives evaluate every funding request — and what that means for how you present
- RSSC vs. RISK: understanding the difference between the people who protect the grid and the people who fund the protection
- Risk as a Feeling: why risk is situational and subjective — and how to shape the decision-maker’s perception
- The 7-Element Framework: building proposals that connect to business impact from the first sentence
- Urgent vs. Important: how to frame timing in a way that creates action without crying wolf
- Live Case Study (Riverview Power & Light): applying the full framework to a real utility scenario in teams
- Procurement: how to turn an approval into an actual purchase — the step most teams skip
Built for RSSC Teams. Transformative for Everyone in the Room.
Every funded initiative has these seven elements. Every rejected one is missing at least three. GGS Business Case Development ensures your initiative has all seven — in executive-ready language — before you walk into that room.
| IDEAL ATTENDEES | WHAT THEY TAKE AWAY |
|---|---|
| CIP Compliance Managers | A repeatable framework for every budget cycle. Never present another finding without a business case. |
| Physical Security Directors | The language to connect physical security investments to operational continuity and revenue protection. |
| Cybersecurity Managers | Confidence in the boardroom. The ability to translate cyber risk into business risk a CFO can act on. |
| Risk Management Leaders | A shared vocabulary with the C-suite. Proposals that get approved instead of studied. |
