What is the ISO 27001 for Full Stack Developers course about?

Even strong technical decisions falter when teams can't articulate the 'why' behind them. Without clear, source-backed reasoning tied to standards like ISO 27001, valuable work gets delayed, redesigned, or dismissed in cross-functional scrutiny.
