12 modules. 12 chapters per module. 144 chapters total.
12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.

Who this is for

Senior technical specialist influencing software supply chain security and compliance outcomes, operating with increasing autonomy but seeking broader recognition and decision scope.

Who this is not for

Entry-level engineers, external auditors, or executives seeking board-level summaries. This is for individual contributors shaping implementation who want deeper operational authority.

What you walk away with

  • Direct ownership of SLSA level assessments without cross-team escalation
  • Precedent-setting templates for signing policy and provenance verification
  • Clear escalation boundaries that reflect your authority in practice
  • Improved standing in cross-functional security reviews
  • A reusable implementation playbook that compounds your influence

How this maps to your situation

  • When rolling out SLSA across teams
  • Before audit season begins
  • During incident response involving builds
  • When new compliance requirements emerge

Before vs. after

Before
Inputs require multiple approvals, decisions route through others, and guidance lacks precedent.
After
You define the rules, own the exceptions, and set the pace, others follow your framework.
