What is the Compliance-Ready Ransomware Recovery Programs course about?

Teams building fast often treat compliance as a bottleneck. When ransomware preparedness is bolted on reactively, it creates friction, slows deployment, and fails audit scrutiny. The result is either brittle systems or innovation suppression, neither is sustainable.
