Operational work that gets audited but never seen
The situation this course is for
High-performing operations leaders like Mik manage critical compliance and quality outcomes across multiple accounts, but their contributions during security assessments often go unrecognized at the leadership level. Despite owning remediation cycles, control validation, and cross-client consistency, their efforts remain below the visibility line. The course closes this gap by transforming routine OWASP-related validation into structured, repeatable workflows that attract executive attention and position the operator as a trusted authority in risk-informed delivery.
Who this is for
Senior Operations Manager overseeing multi-client compliance and quality in a BPO environment, with direct accountability for audit readiness and control consistency
Who this is not for
Entry-level QA testers, standalone developers, or IT support staff without cross-account operational oversight
What you walk away with
- Map OWASP Top 10 findings directly to operational control points across client accounts
- Produce standardized validation packages that reduce rework by at least 40% across audit cycles
- Position remediation work as a strategic capability during client security reviews
- Gain recognition from program leadership for reliability in security-adjacent delivery
- Build internal playbooks that survive leadership and account transitions
