Formula
trained_security_personnel_percent = (trained_security_personnel ÷ total_security_personnel) × 100Apply this formula only with the metric's declared population, reporting period, units, denominator, and method-edition controls.

Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Source-edition basis: GRI 410: Security Practices 2016, current effective edition at the research cutoff.
- Define the security-personnel population and third-party inclusion.
- State the formal training completion rule and lookback.
- For calculation, use a positive denominator and a numerator no greater than the denominator for the same boundary.
Record-specific limitations
- Training coverage does not establish knowledge retention, competence, conduct, compliance, prevention or incident absence.
- Third-party personnel must not be relabeled as the reporting organization's employees.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
