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

Mid-level experience and service designers in global systems integrators who lead client-facing compliance narratives but rely on downstream teams to close evidence loops.

Who this is not for

Entry-level consultants who don’t own delivery lanes; auditors focused on attestation; compliance analysts without client-facing design roles.

What you walk away with

  • Direct authority over SOC 2 control narratives without escalation
  • First-mover input on evidence collection timelines and templates
  • Repeatable workflows that reduce last-minute evidence chases
  • Clear ownership track from service design to SOC 2 readiness
  • Internal recognition as the go-to owner of end-to-end SOC 2 scope
