Your behind-the-scenes compliance work matters, but it's not being seen by the leaders who decide scope and credit.
The situation this course is for
Facility coordinators manage critical control points, access logs, vendor records, incident reports, that feed into SOC 2 audits. But because the role isn't traditionally 'compliance', those contributions often get absorbed into team outputs without individual recognition. That makes it harder to gain visibility, influence, or growth even when the work is essential.
Who this is for
Katarina, a facility coordinator at a global professional services firm, with a background in structured operational roles. She ensures daily compliance touchpoints are met but operates outside traditional audit or security teams. She wants her work acknowledged in broader governance conversations.
Who this is not for
This is not for auditors, security analysts, or compliance managers whose primary role is to produce SOC 2 reports. It's also not for executives delegating compliance , it's for operational ICs whose work feeds into it.
What you walk away with
- Structure facility-level control evidence to meet SOC 2 expectations without rework
- Identify which activities map directly to Trust Service Criteria and document them accordingly
- Produce artefacts that stand up under auditor review and can be referenced in leadership updates
- Communicate control contributions in language that resonates in assurance and operations meetings
- Build a personal repository of evidence templates that compound across audit cycles
