What is the ISO 27001 for Chief Product Officers course about?

Even experienced product leaders find themselves reacting to security mandates rather than shaping them, especially when compliance frameworks like ISO 27001 define system boundaries and architecture constraints. Without clear authority in these spaces, product vision can become secondary to audit outcomes.
