Frustration when security requirements stall data initiatives across teams

The situation this course is for

Data science leaders often find themselves reacting to compliance asks rather than shaping them. The result is delayed rollouts, rework, and misalignment between technical execution and control expectations, all while influence stays siloed.

Who this is for

Senior data and analytics leader operating at the intersection of technical delivery and governance

Who this is not for

Individuals looking for technical deep dives into cryptographic controls or audit preparation timelines

What you walk away with

  • Confidently lead ISO 27001 alignment discussions across non-technical teams
  • Translate control requirements into data system design decisions
  • Anticipate audit questions before they're asked
  • Build repeatable documentation patterns that scale across clients and sectors
  • Establish consistency in how data governance maps to security frameworks
