What is the Kali Linux for Compliance and Governance course about?
Security teams need agility, but leadership requires control. When penetration testing activities lack formal documentation, version control, or compliance alignment, they become liabilities. Unapproved tool usage, undocumented findings, and inconsistent reporting create gaps during audits and regulatory reviews. The challenge isn’t technical capability, it’s operational legitimacy.
