Compliance teams often inherit legacy data systems not built for current regulatory scrutiny or scale.
The situation this course is for
Data sprawl, inconsistent lineage, and reactive audit preparation create inefficiencies and increase exposure. Modernization is not just technical, it’s a governance imperative. Without a structured approach, teams face prolonged cycles, duplicated effort, and misalignment between compliance and engineering.
Who this is for
Compliance officers, data governance leads, and technology managers in mid-market organizations modernizing data infrastructure under regulatory pressure.
Who this is not for
Executives seeking high-level overviews, vendors selling tools without implementation depth, or teams focused solely on data science use cases.
What you walk away with
- Architect compliance-aligned data warehouse models
- Implement audit-ready data lineage and metadata controls
- Align modernization efforts with regulatory expectations
- Lead cross-functional data governance initiatives
- Deploy a repeatable modernization playbook
