Even experienced security leaders struggle to govern AI systems consistently across risk, compliance, and operations.
The situation this course is for
AI adoption is outpacing control frameworks. Security and privacy professionals face pressure to validate model integrity, ensure data lineage, and demonstrate compliance , often without clear standards or tools. Traditional ISMS approaches don’t fully translate. The result? Fragmented oversight, audit exposure, and eroded trust. Practitioners need a structured, implementable methodology to lead AI governance confidently.
Who this is for
A senior information security, data privacy, or IT governance professional with deep compliance experience (ISO 27001, CISM, CFE, CDPP) now tasked with securing AI systems or advising on AI risk.
Who this is not for
This is not for entry-level analysts, software developers building models, or those seeking technical AI engineering skills.
What you walk away with
- Lead AI risk assessments using a repeatable, audit-ready framework
- Design governance controls tailored to AI lifecycle stages
- Align AI initiatives with ISO 27001, NIST AI RMF, and privacy regulations
- Build cross-functional alignment between legal, data science, and security teams
- Demonstrate leadership in emerging AI assurance and audit practices
