12 modules. 12 chapters per module. 144 chapters total.
12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Technical planning decisions are made without your insight, despite your role sitting at the intersection of contract, compliance, and system lifecycle.

The situation this course is for

Even when contracts bind systems, security reviews happen downstream. That delay means rework, escalations, or overruling of approved timelines. The cost isn’t just time, it’s credibility when your risk flags surface too late.

Who this is for

Senior Planning and Contract Engineers influencing technical selection and integration scope within regulated enterprises

Who this is not for

Entry-level project coordinators, pure legal contract reviewers, or engineers without system lifecycle oversight

What you walk away with

  • Preemptive documentation artifacts that position you as the starting point in vendor selection
  • Structured mapping of OWASP risks to contract deliverables and integration milestones
  • Internal reputation as the go-to assessor for new tooling proposals
  • Fewer escalations after deployment due to earlier risk flagging
  • Clearer audit readiness for third-party system reviews

How this maps to your situation

  • Planning Engineer and Contract Oversight
  • Enterprise Vendor Risk Management
  • System Integration Lifecycle Governance
  • Cross-Functional Influence Without Formal Authority

Before vs. after

Before
Decisions on vendor systems and integrations happen downstream, often without your input, despite your role shaping long-term risk and timeline viability.
After
Your planning artifacts and assessments become the starting point for vendor selection, integration design, and compliance readiness, positioning you as the trusted influencer others consult first.

If nothing changes
Without structured OWASP integration, planning roles remain reactive. Escalations happen late, timelines stall, and influence erodes when others inherit risks your early input could have mitigated.

How this compares to the alternatives

Generic security courses teach developer-focused OWASP implementation. This course teaches how planning and contract engineers can use OWASP to gain influence, shape decisions, and reduce downstream friction in enterprise environments.
