What is the Audit-Tested Data Lake Modernization course about?

Audit teams often face delays and escalations not because of data errors, but because modern data architectures lack clear, documented alignment with compliance expectations. This creates rework, slows deployment, and strains collaboration between data engineers and compliance officers.
