What is the Audit-Tested Data Lake Modernization course about?
Public-sector data initiatives often stall due to misalignment between technical modernization and governance expectations. Teams invest in new platforms, only to face audit delays, compliance rework, or stakeholder mistrust due to insufficient documentation or traceability. The gap isn't technical capability, it's the integration of audit-readiness into the modernization lifecycle from day one.
