What is the Compliance-Ready Security Awareness Programs course about?
Most security awareness initiatives are built for check-the-box compliance, not long-term resilience. They break under growth pressure, fail during audits, or get ignored by teams. The gap isn't effort, it's structure. Without a compliance-ready foundation, even strong programs collapse when scrutiny increases or headcount doubles.
