What is the Audit-Tested Ransomware Recovery Programs course about?

Teams invest heavily in ransomware recovery plans, only to find them unconvincing during audits or real incidents. Documentation lacks precision, validation is inconsistent, and control alignment is retrofitted. This erodes trust and increases exposure when it matters most.
