What is the ISO 42001 for DevOps Technical Leaders course about?

DevOps teams are increasingly responsible for demonstrating compliance in AI-enabled systems, yet many artefacts fail internal or client audit rounds due to inconsistent control mapping, vague scope definitions, or incomplete documentation trails. This leads to delayed project sign-offs, repeated effort, and erosion of technical credibility.
