Spending cycles explaining security gaps instead of leading solutions
The situation this course is for
Program leads often inherit fragmented security practices, vendors with mismatched controls, operations teams bypassing protocols, audit findings escalating to leadership. The cost isn’t just compliance, it’s credibility.
Who this is for
Senior Program Manager in defense, aerospace, or regulated systems integration, responsible for delivering complex technical programs with cross-functional teams and compliance exposure
Who this is not for
Junior PMs, non-technical project coordinators, or practitioners outside regulated hardware and systems delivery
What you walk away with
- Define and adjust the ISO 27001 scope for program-specific environments without escalation
- Approve control mappings for supply chain and test systems without review
- Lead development of internal Statements of Applicability with full sign-off authority
- Document and enforce access policy changes for manufacturing and operations teams
- Own vendor security assessments from initiation to closure
