What is the SOC 2 for Senior Platform Developers course about?
When developers lack structured fluency in SOC 2 controls, they're often brought in late, after architecture decisions are locked. That forces rework, inflates timelines, and sidelines engineers from strategic input. The result? Teams miss chances to shape control-integrated designs early, and high-performing individuals get typecast as support rather than leads.
