What is the Partner Risk Operations course about?

As platform businesses grow, partner risk becomes harder to manage with ad hoc processes. Teams face pressure to scale faster while maintaining compliance, audit readiness, and cross-functional alignment. Without standardized frameworks, risk detection lags, documentation fails, and incidents escalate unnecessarily.
