What is the Cross-Functional Compliance Strategy course about?
In complex organizations, compliance is often treated as a series of isolated functions: legal drafts policies, security configures controls, engineering implements features, and operations maintains logs. Without a unified strategy, these efforts don’t scale cohesively, leading to duplicated work, inconsistent enforcement, and governance gaps that only appear during audits or incidents.
