Standards mapping Threats and Detection
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 threat-focused course teaches students to think like adversaries while building robust defenses. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to analyze attack techniques, build detection logic, and implement defensive strategies that proactively identify threats before they cause damage. Students develop a threat-informed mindset that drives better security decisions across all operational activities.
