Compliance teams often react to engineering outcomes instead of shaping them through measurable standards.
The situation this course is for
Leaders face growing pressure to ensure engineering practices meet regulatory and governance expectations, but lack structured ways to define, track, and scale compliance-relevant metrics. This leads to reactive audits, misaligned incentives, and missed opportunities to build trust through data.
Who this is for
Compliance officers, risk leaders, and governance professionals in technology-driven organizations who influence or oversee engineering outcomes.
Who this is not for
This is not for individual contributors focused only on checklists or auditors seeking sampling techniques. It’s for leaders shaping engineering culture through metrics.
What you walk away with
- Design compliance-aligned engineering metrics that scale across services and teams
- Translate regulatory expectations into measurable technical controls
- Build audit-ready dashboards that demonstrate continuous compliance
- Lead cross-functional initiatives with data-driven confidence
- Reduce rework and increase engineering velocity through early compliance integration
