What is the Risk-Managed Engineering Vendor Management course about?

Compliance officers face growing pressure to validate engineering vendor practices without becoming bottlenecks. Legacy checklists fail to address modern DevOps pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and rapid iteration cycles. Without structured, scalable methods, teams default to either excessive oversight or dangerous blind trust.
