The Second Line,
Staffed for What's Coming.

Boards want AI on the risk agenda, regulators want model vendors in the diligence file, and audit season doesn't wait for the requisition to close. Our Academy trains risk and compliance professionals as one discipline — enterprise risk frameworks, third-party risk, and regulatory compliance across HIPAA, SOC 2, NIST, and CMMC — audit-ready for AI-integrated, regulated environments.

Why It Matters

The risk register grew. The team carrying it didn't.

Net-new obligations keep landing on the same thin second line: AI governance questions from the board, model vendors in the third-party portfolio, more frameworks crosswalking the same controls, and evidence that has to survive an examiner. Risk and compliance are one discipline in practice — the professional who scores a risk should understand the control that treats it and the evidence that proves it. The Academy trains them that way: enterprise risk methodology as our Security Risk Management practice applies it, the control-mapping and evidence discipline behind our GRC-as-a-Service engagements, and the AI governance grounding of our Cream City AI practice — so graduates arrive able to carry a risk from the register to the audit file.

How It Works

Recruit locally. Train on live work. Deploy.

01
Recruit
Judgment and precision

Demand-driven intake — candidates selected for the analytical judgment risk work demands and the meticulousness compliance work rewards, drawn from Milwaukee's early-career talent pool.

02
Train
Register to audit file

Enterprise risk methodology, third-party risk, and control mapping practiced end to end on engagement-grade material — risk registers, vendor assessments, crosswalks, and evidence packages across HIPAA, SOC 2, NIST, and CMMC.

03
Deploy
Into your second line

Graduates hire into risk and compliance teams or deploy into client engagements — professionals who can draft an assessment a CRO would sign and sit across from an auditor in their first quarter.

What's Inside

One pipeline for the whole obligation.

The track is built from what regulated-industry risk and compliance teams actually assign in a professional's first year — both sides of the same desk.

Enterprise risk frameworks, applied

Risk identification, scoring, and treatment inside a working ERM structure — with the quantified discipline our Security Risk Management engagements use.

Third-party risk mechanics

Vendor tiering, diligence, and ongoing monitoring — including the model-vendor and AI-supplier questions regulators now expect the second line to ask.

Crosswalks & evidence discipline

HIPAA, SOC 2, NIST, and CMMC learned as one control fabric — map a control once, satisfy it everywhere, and keep evidence an auditor accepts.

AI governance & regulator-grade writing

Where model risk meets continuity and compliance — plus findings, assessments, and committee papers written to be examined.
