Compliance gaps in OT environments are often discovered too late, after audits, incidents, or integration failures.
The situation this course is for
Traditional compliance training lacks depth in operational technology contexts. Professionals are expected to apply IT security principles to industrial systems without understanding the constraints of uptime, legacy protocols, and physical safety. This leads to misaligned controls, audit findings, and over-reliance on consultants.
Who this is for
Compliance officers, risk managers, and governance leads in industrial sectors responsible for aligning OT security with regulatory frameworks.
Who this is not for
This is not for IT security generalists without OT exposure, junior auditors, or technical staff without compliance decision-making authority.
What you walk away with
- Apply risk-managed security controls specific to OT environments
- Navigate compliance requirements across NIST, ISA/IEC 62443, and CMMC
- Design audit-ready documentation packages for industrial systems
- Integrate IT/OT governance frameworks without disrupting operations
- Build and use a tailored implementation playbook for ongoing compliance
