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.
Most compliance initiatives stall at handoff, engineers don’t speak auditor, auditors don’t trust automation
The situation this course is for
Teams waste cycles translating controls into technical specs. DevOps waits for sign-off. Auditors question artefact provenance. Remediation loops grow. Timelines slip.
Who this is for
Senior DevOps engineer in a regulated environment who inherits compliance mandates but owns deployment outcomes
Who this is not for
Junior engineers learning CI/CD, compliance generalists without pipeline access, auditors writing checklists
What you walk away with
- Confidence to interpret ISO 42001 control intent for automated enforcement
- Templates to generate audit-ready evidence directly from pipeline runs
- Authority to approve control mappings without escalation
- Predictable audit cycles with zero last-minute artefact requests
- Recognition as the go-to practitioner for AI governance rollouts
