Compliance Frameworks Decoded

Cut through the alphabet soup. Learn which frameworks actually apply to you (HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST/CMMC), the ~65% of controls they all share, how to satisfy many at once with one control set, and how to build a compliance roadmap. The hub course — take the deep-dive spoke for each framework you pick. For founders, managers, compliance leads, and engineers.

"We need SOC 2 and GDPR, most of the work is shared, and here's our one-control-set roadmap to satisfy both"

6 Interactive Sessions

Short, interactive sessions — watch it work, steer it, then build it yourself. Go deeper anytime with the full code walkthrough.

  1. 1

    Why compliance exists — the breach and the fine

    Compliance isn't bureaucracy for its own sake — it's trust written down, enforced by two forces: regulators who fine you and customers who won't buy without proof.

  2. 2

    Which frameworks apply to you

    You don't get to pick your frameworks off a menu — your business decides them. Applicability is conditional (triggered by what you handle and who you sell to) and additive (most companies need two or three, not one).

  3. 3

    The shared DNA — the ~65% every framework repeats

    Almost every framework asks for the same handful of control families — access control, encryption, logging, incident response, vendor risk, awareness training, and governance — just filed under different code numbers.

  4. 4

    Do it once, satisfy many — the crosswalk

    Because the frameworks share most of their controls, you don't do the work N times — you maintain ONE internal control set, map each framework onto it, and collect the evidence once.

  5. 5

    Scope & the framework-specific overlays

    A framework only applies to the part of your business that touches the regulated thing — so you draw the in-scope line deliberately, do the shared core once, and add only the thin overlay each framework needs.

  6. 6

    Your compliance roadmap

    Compliance is one navigable program, not a pile of monsters: pick what applies, build the shared core once, map & add the overlays, collect evidence once, and keep it running — then go deep per framework in the spoke courses.
