Compliance officers face increasing pressure to validate OT security controls without deep technical fluency or operational disruption.

The situation this course is for

Regulatory expectations are rising faster than internal capability. Compliance teams often rely on secondhand reports, lack direct verification methods, and struggle to translate technical findings into governance outcomes. This leads to delayed audits, reactive postures, and misalignment with engineering and security teams.

Who this is for

Mid-to-senior compliance, risk, or governance professionals in industrial, energy, utilities, or manufacturing environments who need to confidently assess and validate OT security posture without becoming engineers.

Who this is not for

This is not for IT security generalists without OT exposure, frontline engineers focused only on implementation, or executives seeking high-level overviews without operational detail.

What you walk away with

  • Apply a structured risk model to assess OT environments with precision
  • Validate security controls using compliance-aligned assessment frameworks
  • Lead audit preparation with confidence using documented control evidence
  • Bridge communication gaps between compliance, engineering, and security teams
  • Implement a repeatable process for ongoing OT compliance assurance
