Introduction to frameworks within security domains

In this module, you’ll dive into the essential concepts of security domains, compliance frameworks, data privacy fundamentals, risk and security controls. You'll discover the key differences between security and compliance, and learn about controls and frameworks within the three pivotal areas of compliance: people, process, and technology. Explore risk and security controls in depth, giving you a clear view of how these controls are effectively implemented.

Risk management and security frameworks, regulations, and standards

Get ready to level up your risk management game! In this module, you'll crack the code on popular frameworks like NIST CSF, SOC 2, FedRAMP, HIPAA, and ISO 27001. You'll compare and contrast these frameworks like superheroes in a face-off, so you can pick the perfect one for any situation. Plus, you'll learn how to use them to build your own fortress of security, keeping your data safe and sound. So, buckle up and get ready for an epic adventure in risk management proficiency.

The compliance lifecycle

In this module, you'll unlock the secrets of the compliance lifecycle. Imagine it as a labyrinth of rules and regulations – you'll learn how to map your path through controls, dodge the pitfalls of non-compliance, and perform audits like a seasoned adventurer. Discover how Policy-as-Code (PaC) can weave powerful safeguards directly into your Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), transforming it into a self-defending fortress.

Cloud tools for risk management and compliance

Prepare for a thrilling expedition into the cloud! In this module, you'll skillfully wield the powers of Google's Security Command Center, Risk Manager, and Policy Analyzer – your trusty toolbox for conquering compliance challenges.
