What is the SOC 2 for Devops Engineers course about?

Traditional compliance processes are document-heavy and lag behind fast-moving infrastructure. DevOps teams often inherit controls that weren't built for automation, leading to rework, last-minute fixes, and audit fatigue. The gap between security requirements and shipping software creates friction no one anticipated.
