Business and technology professionals in mid-market enterprises responsible for risk, compliance, governance, or operational resilience, especially those stepping into broader leadership roles.
Who this is not for
This is not for entry-level staff, consultants selling generic frameworks, or executives seeking high-level overviews without implementation detail.
