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.

Who this is for

Senior technical practitioner in enterprise software or DevOps environments, focused on governance, compliance, and system integrity within development workflows.

Who this is not for

Engineers looking for coding bootcamp-level instruction or certification exam prep; those focused solely on cloud infrastructure tuning or SOC 2 audit execution.

What you walk away with

  • Define secure development baselines using NIST SSDF that integrate directly into existing Jira and service workflows
  • Lead cross-functional alignment sessions between dev, ops, and security with confidence and framework-backed reasoning
  • Shape internal policy updates with minimal escalation, reducing review cycles for secure releases
  • Gain recognition as the go-to practitioner for SSDF-aligned implementation decisions
  • Own a living implementation playbook that spreads your influence beyond immediate team boundaries

How this maps to your situation

  • When aligning dev and security teams
  • During secure SDLC implementation
  • Prior to compliance audit cycles
  • When expanding toolchain governance

Before vs. after

Before
Security guidance is siloed, policy updates require escalation, and influence is limited to immediate teams.
After
You define the secure development baseline, lead cross-functional alignment, and own the playbook others follow , all within current scope.

If nothing changes
Without structured adoption of NIST SSDF, influence remains confined to local workflows, and opportunities to shape enterprise-wide secure development practices pass to others.

How this compares to the alternatives

Unlike vendor-specific certifications or broad compliance courses, this program delivers a tailored, actionable implementation model for NIST SSDF within complex development ecosystems like Atlassian's.
