Control mapping for AI-augmented systems taking 80+ hours to reconcile before PCI DSS audits

The situation this course is for

GRC professionals spend excessive time retrofitting AI components into existing PCI DSS control evidence, especially during audit prep cycles. The lack of structured integration between AI governance and established security frameworks leads to rework, stakeholder chasing, and delayed sign-offs.

Who this is for

Senior GRC practitioners in financial services who own compliance artifacts tied to payment security and are integrating AI into regulated systems

Who this is not for

Entry-level auditors, developers building AI models without compliance context, or executives seeking high-level overviews without implementation detail

What you walk away with

  • Produce AI governance documentation that aligns with PCI DSS control objectives from day one
  • Reduce pre-audit reconciliation time for AI systems by designing with evidence in mind
  • Integrate AI risk assessments directly into NIST-based security program workflows
  • Anticipate auditor questions on AI use in payment processing environments
  • Build repeatable templates for AI control mappings that survive review cycles

Frequently asked

Is this course focused on technical AI development or compliance execution?
It's designed for compliance and GRC professionals who need to govern AI systems, not build them. The focus is on control mapping, evidence collection, audit readiness, and risk documentation.
How is the course structured?
12 modules, each containing 12 chapters (144 chapters total).
Does the course cover other regulations beyond PCI DSS?
The primary anchor is PCI DSS, but concepts are transferable to other financial regulations like GLBA, FFIEC guidance, and Basel III expectations for model risk.
