12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Compliance teams are being asked to validate AI systems without the right tools or frameworks to trace data from source to decision.

The situation this course is for

AI adoption is accelerating, but compliance functions lack structured approaches to audit data provenance, model inputs, and decision logic. Officers are expected to deliver assurance without clear line-of-sight into pipelines, creating friction with engineering teams and delays in deployment.

Who this is for

Compliance, risk, and governance professionals in technology-driven organizations who are responsible for validating AI systems, responding to audits, and ensuring regulatory alignment.

Who this is not for

This course is not for data engineers focused solely on pipeline architecture, nor for executives seeking high-level AI governance overviews. It is designed for practitioners who must implement and verify compliance in operational AI systems.

What you walk away with

  • Apply implementation-grade data lineage frameworks to AI workflows
  • Build auditable documentation that satisfies regulatory scrutiny
  • Bridge communication gaps between compliance and technical teams
  • Design scalable lineage strategies for dynamic data environments
  • Integrate compliance checks into CI/CD pipelines for AI systems
