Zero-Trust Approach to Standards mapping
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 zero-trust course applies modern security principles including least privilege, continuous verification, and explicit trust evaluation. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn to implement zero-trust architectures that assume breach and verify every access request regardless of network location. Students build practical zero-trust implementations that align with organizational security modernization goals.
