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 govern data they can’t trace, own, or verify, leading to delays, audit friction, and reactive fire drills.

The situation this course is for

Data catalogs are often implemented without risk controls, leaving compliance officers exposed during audits. Without clear ownership, lineage, and policy enforcement baked in, catalogs become shelfware or, worse, sources of false confidence. The gap isn’t tools, it’s implementation discipline.

Who this is for

Compliance officers, data governance leads, and risk professionals in regulated industries who need to implement or improve data catalogs with auditability, control, and stakeholder alignment.

Who this is not for

This course is not for executives seeking high-level overviews, vendors building catalog tools, or engineers focused solely on data pipeline infrastructure without compliance integration.

What you walk away with

  • Implement a data catalog with built-in risk controls and compliance workflows
  • Map data assets to regulatory requirements with auditable traceability
  • Design ownership models that ensure accountability and reduce friction
  • Integrate lineage tracking with policy enforcement across systems
  • Produce documentation and dashboards that satisfy internal and external auditors
