Spending 15+ hours weekly pulling, formatting, and resubmitting compliance evidence for risk controls?
The situation this course is for
Engineering leaders at high-assurance organizations like the firm are under pressure to prove compliance without slowing delivery. The pain isn’t abstract, it’s the repeatable, manual effort to gather evidence from Jira, GitHub, and CI/CD pipelines, repackage it for auditors, and answer follow-ups. This work happens every control cycle, involves multiple handoffs, and often stalls on missing artifacts. Teams resort to spreadsheets and shared drives, creating version chaos. The cost isn’t just time, it’s eroded trust with compliance teams and leadership. What’s needed isn’t more meetings, but a repeatable, lightweight evidence pipeline that runs alongside delivery.
Who this is for
Director-level engineering leader in a federally aligned tech organization, responsible for delivery velocity and compliance readiness, facing repeated manual evidence collection cycles that drain team capacity.
Who this is not for
Individual contributors without cross-team coordination responsibility, compliance auditors, or leaders whose teams don’t operate in regulated delivery environments.
What you walk away with
- Deploy a lightweight evidence pipeline that auto-captures artifacts from existing tools
- Cut evidence collection time by 70% within one control cycle
- Eliminate version confusion with a single source of truth for control evidence
- Align engineering workflows with control requirements without changing delivery节奏
- Produce auditor-ready packages in under 2 hours, on demand
