Spending too much time rebuilding compliance artefacts after development is done

The situation this course is for

Engineering velocity has outpaced compliance infrastructure. Teams ship code fast, but struggle to produce accurate, auditor-ready SBOMs on demand. This leads to last-minute scrambles, rework, and risk exposure when security or procurement asks for proof of lineage.

Who this is for

Senior technical leader influencing software delivery and compliance at scale

Who this is not for

Individual contributors not involved in cross-team software delivery or compliance strategy

What you walk away with

  • Produce complete, accurate SBOMs within 2 hours of code freeze
  • Reduce time spent on compliance artefact generation by 70%
  • Ship software updates with embedded traceability, not retrofitted reports
  • Answer auditor questions in minutes, not days
  • Standardize SBOM delivery across product teams without slowing velocity
