What is the Governance, Risk & Compliance Architecture course about?
Compliance and integrity functions are increasingly expected to enable innovation, not just mitigate risk. Yet most frameworks are reactive, siloed, or too abstract to implement across engineering and product teams. This creates friction, delays, and inconsistent outcomes, especially in high-velocity environments where alignment must be proactive, automated, and deeply integrated.
