12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Data catalogs that don’t scale with compliance needs create friction during audits, slow down product launches, and increase operational risk.

The situation this course is for

High-growth organizations often deploy data catalogs reactively, addressing discovery but not compliance sustainability. As regulatory scrutiny increases and data volumes expand, teams face mounting pressure to prove lineage, access, and retention controls across systems. Without an implementation-grade framework, even mature catalogs fail under audit conditions or during rapid scaling.

Who this is for

Data governance leads, compliance architects, and senior data stewards in technology-driven organizations scaling beyond 500 employees or entering new regulatory environments.

Who this is not for

This course is not for beginners in data management or professionals focused solely on data visualization, ad hoc reporting, or non-regulated data environments.

What you walk away with

  • Design a compliance-ready data catalog architecture aligned with organizational growth
  • Integrate regulatory requirements into metadata tagging and classification workflows
  • Implement automated audit trails and access governance controls
  • Align data catalog outputs with internal control frameworks and external reporting standards
  • Deploy a living catalog that evolves with product and compliance changes
