Audits Troubleshooting
RCCE students will learn security audit planning, execution, and reporting including internal audits, external audits, regulatory compliance audits, and certification audits. RCCE students will learn to develop audit scopes and objectives, create audit plans and checklists, gather and evaluate audit evidence, conduct control testing, identify and classify audit findings by severity, write clear and actionable audit reports, track remediation of audit findings, and manage relationships with external auditors. The course covers audit standards including ISO 19011, ISACA audit frameworks, and preparing organizations for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS certification audits. This diagnostic course focuses on identifying, analyzing, and resolving common failures, misconfigurations, and operational issues. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn systematic troubleshooting methodologies that accelerate root-cause analysis and minimize downtime. Students work through realistic break-fix scenarios that build the diagnostic confidence needed for high-pressure production environments.
