Standards mapping Architecture Patterns
RCCE students will learn how to map organizational security controls to regulatory standards and compliance frameworks including NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, and GDPR. RCCE students will learn to create control crosswalks, identify overlapping requirements across multiple frameworks, perform gap analysis against target standards, build compliance matrices, and generate audit-ready documentation. The course covers evidence collection strategies, control effectiveness testing, continuous compliance monitoring, and how to present compliance posture to auditors and executive leadership. This architecture course teaches secure system design using proven patterns, guardrails, and reference architectures. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to evaluate design options against security requirements, make informed trade-off decisions, and build systems that are resilient by design. Students gain the architectural thinking skills needed for security engineering and solution design roles.
