Compliance teams often receive engineering metrics that are inconsistent, unverified, or misaligned with audit frameworks.
The situation this course is for
Engineering performance data is increasingly requested in governance reviews, yet most metrics lack the rigor required for compliance use. Teams resort to manual validation, creating delays and exposure during audits. Without a standardized approach, leaders struggle to trust or act on the data. This course solves that by teaching how to build metrics that are durable, transparent, and audit-ready by design.
Who this is for
Compliance officers, risk leads, and governance professionals who work closely with engineering teams and need reliable, standardized performance insights.
Who this is not for
Individuals seeking high-level overviews of engineering KPIs or generic dashboard tools without implementation depth.
What you walk away with
- Design engineering metrics that meet compliance and audit requirements
- Align metric frameworks with control standards like SOC 2, ISO 27001, or GDPR
- Build trust in engineering data across legal, risk, and executive teams
- Implement durable, version-controlled metric pipelines with clear ownership
- Communicate engineering performance confidently in governance forums
