Being overlooked when security and compliance discussions shape leadership decisions
The situation this course is for
Even experienced leaders in real estate operations can find themselves on the sidelines when cybersecurity conversations turn technical. Without a recognized command of frameworks like NIST CSF, influence is ceded to specialists, even when operational decisions affect physical assets and tenant trust.
Who this is for
Senior General Manager in commercial real estate operations with cross-functional oversight and growing responsibility for vendor risk, incident preparedness, and compliance alignment
Who this is not for
Individuals seeking technical implementation of NIST CSF controls or hands-on IT security roles without leadership scope
What you walk away with
- Articulate NIST CSF framework components with confidence in leadership settings
- Map NIST CSF controls directly to real estate operations, including facilities, vendors, and incident response
- Position yourself as the first internal point of contact for compliance questions
- Build reusable talking points and justification templates for resilience initiatives
- Gain visibility in cross-functional risk and security planning sessions
