Security controls Operations Playbook: Workshop
RCCE students will learn security control selection, implementation, and validation including preventive, detective, corrective, deterrent, and compensating controls. RCCE students will learn to map security controls to organizational risk and compliance requirements, select appropriate controls from frameworks like NIST 800-53 and CIS Controls, implement technical, administrative, and physical controls, validate control effectiveness through testing and monitoring, document control evidence for audit purposes, identify control gaps and implement compensating controls, and maintain a control catalog that evolves with changing threats and regulatory requirements. This operations-focused course delivers production-ready playbooks, checklists, and standard operating procedures. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to build repeatable day-to-day operational workflows that ensure consistency and quality. Students receive templates and frameworks they can customize and deploy immediately in their security operations, reducing time to operational effectiveness.
