What is the Cross-Functional Data Compliance Mapping course about?
Mid-market organizations face increasing pressure to demonstrate compliance across frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR. Yet, efforts often remain fragmented across departments, leading to duplicated work, audit delays, and misaligned controls. Professionals lack a unified method to map data flows to compliance requirements across functions, resulting in fragile, point-in-time artifacts that don’t scale.
