  • Separate accepted risk from deferred work with dated sign-off
  • Prepare a retest pack that anticipates cold re-audit questions

Informational pricing

Duration: 6 weeks · 90 minutes live each week · ~3 hours guided practice.

Modules

  1. Intake hygiene

    Import findings without duplicates, capture source report IDs, and set aging clocks that mean something.

  2. Owner matrix & SLA reality

    Map people (not departments), backups, and what “blocked-external” actually requires before the clock pauses.

  3. Evidence chains

    Screens, exports, ticket links, and dated attestations — plus what fails a cold review.

  4. Partial remediation honesty

    When a fix is incomplete, how to document residual risk instead of marking closed.

  5. Retest & re-audit readiness

    Build a pack an external reviewer can navigate without a guided tour.

  6. Live board critique

    Bring redacted items from your audit remediation tracking app; facilitators mark gaps in public (kindly).

Former second-line controls lead for a UK retail bank. Nadia has shepherded three major re-audits and now designs Metric Insightful labs so the critique feels like a real assurance conversation — not a slide deck review.

Learner notes

“Week three’s evidence critique caught our habit of attaching unsigned policy PDFs. Embarrassing — and exactly why we enrolled.”
Marcus W., IT risk · Cardiff
The live board sessions are strong. Limitation: if your company refuses to redact samples, you will practise on the fictional backlog more than your own — still useful, but less transfer.

FAQ

Do you teach a specific audit remediation tracking app vendor?

No. Patterns transfer across tools that support owners, statuses, attachments, and filters. We use a neutral board in class so vendor UI does not dominate the learning.

What if I miss a live session?

Recordings stay available for 30 days. You still owe the weekly practice pack; facilitators will not mark late work after the final critique week.

Is there a real limitation I should know before enrolling?

Yes. This course will not accelerate findings owned by external vendors with contractual SLA delays. We teach how to document the blocker clearly — we cannot invent leverage your contracts do not provide.

Can my manager join only the last two weeks?

Managers usually fit better in Stakeholder Closure Briefings. Joining Control Lab mid-stream without the owner matrix module tends to create mismatched expectations in critique sessions.
