Control mappings that break under audit pressure and rapid scaling
The situation this course is for
Security programs in high-growth healthtech often rely on manual, point-in-time mappings that collapse during audits or after major releases. The cost is bandwidth, credibility, and cycle time.
Who this is for
Chief Information Security Officer in a US-based healthcare technology company scaling product delivery while maintaining compliance integrity across HIPAA, HITRUST, and international expectations
Who this is not for
Individuals seeking introductory overviews of privacy standards or those focused solely on non-healthcare sectors without regulated data flows
What you walk away with
- Design an integrated security and privacy control framework using ISO 27701 as the backbone
- Automate evidence collection tied to development and deployment cycles
- Reduce audit preparation from weeks to under four days
- Align cross-functional stakeholders (engineering, legal, compliance) around a shared implementation model
- Produce a living SoA and control register that evolves with product changes
