Failing to align software security standards with compliance frameworks slows audits and increases vendor risk
The situation this course is for
Disjointed ownership between IT security and compliance teams creates delays in audit cycles, gaps in control documentation, and reactive responses to third-party software risks, especially when OWASP benchmarks aren’t translated into enforceable compliance language.
Who this is for
Food Safety & Regulatory Compliance Specialist with oversight across vendor systems and digital transformation initiatives
Who this is not for
Junior auditors, general IT staff, or developers without compliance decision authority
What you walk away with
- Own final sign-off on OWASP compliance for third-party food safety software vendors
- Map OWASP Top 10 controls directly to internal audit checklists and policy language
- Lead cross-functional reviews of application security findings without escalation
- Build reusable compliance templates that embed OWASP requirements into intake processes
- Document decision trails that satisfy regulator questions on software risk
