Compliance teams are expected to validate data lineage and policy adherence, but often lack the tools and frameworks to do so efficiently.
The situation this course is for
Data sprawl, inconsistent metadata, and siloed governance practices make audits unpredictable and time-intensive. Compliance officers spend more time chasing data than assuring it. Traditional catalog solutions are either too technical or too lightweight to meet regulatory demands.
Who this is for
A business or technology professional in compliance, risk, or data governance who needs to implement or oversee a data catalog that supports audit readiness, regulatory reporting, and cross-functional data trust.
Who this is not for
This course is not for data scientists focused on analytics workflows or engineers building real-time pipelines without compliance integration.
What you walk away with
- Design a compliance-aligned data catalog architecture
- Implement policy-driven metadata management
- Map data lineage to regulatory requirements
- Automate audit evidence collection
- Orchestrate cross-functional alignment between legal, IT, and data teams
