Course Objective
What this programme helps you achieve
A hands-on 2 days programme that builds practical, job-ready capability in this area. Delivered through guided walkthroughs, worked examples and reusable checklists you can apply immediately.
UnderstandBuild a clear, structured understanding of the core concepts, terminology and drivers behind this domain.
ApplyTranslate the framework into practical actions, controls and working methods you can use on real engagements.
AssessEvaluate current-state maturity, identify gaps and prioritise the improvements that reduce the most risk.
DeliverProduce the artefacts, evidence and reporting expected of a competent practitioner in this area.
Market Need
Why this matters now
Software Supply Chain Security, SBOM and CI/CD Risk Management addresses a capability that organisations increasingly need but often lack in a structured, defensible form. Teams frequently rely on ad-hoc knowledge, scattered documents or vendor claims instead of a repeatable method.
This programme closes that gap. It gives participants a shared vocabulary, a practical method and a set of reusable artefacts so the organisation can operate this domain consistently rather than reactively.
◆
Framework alignment: Aligned with SLSA, SBOM (SPDX/CycloneDX) and NIST secure supply chain guidance.
What makes this programme useful
01
Practical Focus
Every module is grounded in real scenarios, walkthroughs and reusable checklists rather than theory alone.
02
Career Relevant
Skills map directly to in-demand roles and to how organisations actually operate this domain.
03
Structured Path
A logical progression from fundamentals to applied practice, with a clear takeaway toolkit.
