If nothing changes
Continuing to treat compliance as separate from engineering increases the chance of rework, reduces visibility into decision-making, and leaves influence to those with less technical depth

How this compares to the alternatives

Unlike generic compliance trainings, this course is built for hands-on engineers who need to apply ISO 27001 directly to cloud data pipelines, not just understand policy.
