What is the NIST CSF for Data Analysts course about?

Many data analysts in compliance-heavy environments find their work questioned not because of errors, but because the logic behind their outputs lacks clear linkage to recognized frameworks. This leads to rework, delayed sign-offs, and repeated clarification cycles, even when the data itself is sound.
