What is the Audit-Tested MLOps Foundations course about?

As organizations pursue growth through acquisition, their technical assets face heightened scrutiny. ML systems built for speed often lack the traceability, reproducibility, and governance controls required in audit environments. This creates risk not just for compliance, but for valuation and integration timelines.
