Audit readiness that shouldn’t take weeks of cross-team chasing

The situation this course is for

Security leaders spend disproportionate cycles assembling evidence for compliance reviews, not because they lack knowledge, but because controls aren’t baked into the cloud fabric from day one.

Who this is for

Chief Information and Security Officers in US-based regulated health providers who own both technology direction and compliance outcomes

Who this is not for

Developers looking for coding tutorials, consultants selling generalized frameworks, or teams using non-AWS platforms

What you walk away with

  • Architect AWS environments that natively satisfy HIPAA, HITRUST, and NIST requirements
  • Automate evidence collection for recurring audits using native AWS services
  • Design patient data workflows with built-in consent and access logic
  • Reduce manual review cycles by aligning cloud configuration with control objectives
  • Earn expanded decision rights over cloud service adoption and data routing
