What is the GRC Architecture course about?
Even with strong policy foundations, many product teams struggle to embed GRC into the development lifecycle. Controls are bolted on late, compliance becomes a bottleneck, and architectural decisions lack consistent risk framing. This creates tension between speed and assurance, especially in regulated domains.
