If nothing changes
Without a defensible rationale, security controls may be weakened, ignored, or inconsistently applied, especially under leadership changes or audit pressure.

How this compares to the alternatives

Unlike generic compliance courses, this program is built for engineers who defend decisions daily, not just pass audits. It emphasizes source-backed reasoning, not checklist completion.
