GRC Fundamentals

Governance, risk, and compliance frameworks applied in real organizational contexts — not just studied in isolation.

Vendor Risk Management

Third-party risk assessments, vendor questionnaires, and contract review for data and security provisions.

Data Governance

Data classification, handling policies, privacy considerations, and regulatory alignment basics across multiple frameworks.

AI Governance

Responsible AI use policies, AI risk inventories, and governance frameworks for emerging and third-party tools.

Policy & Documentation

Writing and structuring security policies, procedures, and risk reports — including for non-technical leadership audiences.

Stakeholder Engagement

Conducting risk interviews, presenting findings, and communicating risk to organizational leadership under supervision.
