Data compliance is no longer just a technical checklist, it's a strategic governance challenge at scale.

The situation this course is for

Compliance teams face rising pressure as data decentralization accelerates. Legacy frameworks can't keep pace with domain-driven data ownership, leading to misalignment between engineering initiatives and regulatory expectations. Without clear models for accountability, audit readiness suffers and board-level confidence declines.

Who this is for

Mid-to-senior compliance, risk, and governance professionals in regulated sectors adopting or evaluating data mesh architecture.

Who this is not for

This course is not for data engineers focused solely on pipeline development, nor for executives seeking only high-level overviews without implementation detail.

What you walk away with

  • Lead data mesh governance design with board-level accountability
  • Implement compliant data product contracts across domains
  • Align privacy, audit, and regulatory requirements with decentralized ownership
  • Design audit-ready data pipelines within a domain architecture
  • Communicate data mesh risks and controls effectively to executive stakeholders
