Compliance teams are being asked to govern complex customer data flows without clear frameworks or operational playbooks
The situation this course is for
Customer Data Platforms are scaling fast, but compliance practices haven't kept pace. Officers face fragmented data sources, unclear consent trails, and mounting audit pressure, all without standardized controls or documented processes. This creates friction, delays, and avoidable exposure during reviews.
Who this is for
Compliance officers, data governance leads, and risk professionals in mid-to-large organizations implementing or scaling CDPs
Who this is not for
This course is not for marketers configuring campaign audiences or engineers building data pipelines without compliance oversight
What you walk away with
- Design a compliance-first CDP governance model
- Map data flows and consent mechanisms to regulatory requirements
- Document audit-ready controls for data access and retention
