What is the COBIT for Engineering Data Access Leadership course about?

Engineering teams ship fast. Governance teams scramble to catch up. That gap creates rework, audit findings, and friction, especially when data access controls aren't proactively designed. The cost isn't just time; it's trust in the system’s integrity.
