12 modules. 12 chapters per module. 144 chapters total.
12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Compliance teams are expected to assure third-party security, but lack structured, up-to-date frameworks to do so effectively.

The situation this course is for

Legacy compliance approaches treat supply chains as static checklists. Today’s interconnected environments demand dynamic, evidence-based assurance models that keep pace with evolving vendor risks and regulatory expectations.

Who this is for

Compliance officers, risk leads, and governance professionals in technology-driven organizations managing complex vendor ecosystems.

Who this is not for

This course is not for IT administrators focused only on internal tooling, nor for executives seeking high-level overviews without implementation detail.

What you walk away with

  • Apply modern frameworks like NIST SP 800-161 and ISO/IEC 27036 to real-world vendor scenarios
  • Design and deploy automated compliance validation workflows across third parties
  • Map supply-chain controls to regulatory requirements including GDPR, CCPA, and SOX
  • Build audit-ready documentation packages using standardized templates
  • Lead cross-functional initiatives to strengthen vendor risk posture with measurable outcomes
