What is the SOX 404 for Senior Infrastructure Architects course about?
Infrastructure architects invest heavily in control design, yet their contributions often remain buried in documentation or technical reviews. With SOX 404, the finance team gets the audit spotlight, even when the real work happened in system architecture. This invisibility makes it harder to gain influence, secure resources, or advance into broader technical leadership roles.
