What is the Mid-Market Risk Management for Distributed course about?

Mid-market organizations are scaling globally but often rely on ad-hoc risk processes that don’t travel across borders or time zones. This creates blind spots in compliance, security, and operational continuity, especially when teams work asynchronously or across jurisdictions. Without a unified framework, risk becomes reactive, inconsistent, and difficult to audit.
