What is the Audit-Tested Operational Technology Detection course about?
Many public-sector programs invest in operational technology detection only to face setbacks during compliance reviews. Gaps in documentation, inconsistent validation methods, and misaligned control mappings lead to findings, delays, and repeated work. Practitioners need a structured, audit-ready approach that bridges technical detection and regulatory expectations.
