If you are an internal audit lead or compliance officer at a Brazilian financial institution, this playbook was built for you.
As someone responsible for aligning cybersecurity and AI governance with national regulatory expectations, you face growing pressure to demonstrate control maturity across both information systems and emerging AI applications. The integration of ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 42001:2023 into your audit cycle is no longer optional, especially with BACEN's increasing scrutiny on digital risk frameworks. You are expected to validate technical controls, assess governance processes, and produce auditable evidence, all while operating under tight timelines and limited cross-functional bandwidth. This playbook equips your team with a structured, repeatable methodology to assess, document, and sustain compliance across both standards without duplicating effort.
Engaging external consultants from major audit firms typically costs between EUR 80,000 and EUR 250,000 for a comparable scope of work. Alternatively, dedicating internal resources would require 3 full-time compliance specialists working over 4 months to develop equivalent assessment tools, evidence workflows, and cross-reference mappings. This integrated implementation playbook delivers the same depth of coverage and audit readiness at a fixed cost of $395.

Domain assessments
Each of the seven domain assessments contains 30 structured questions and is designed to evaluate a core area of integrated information security and AI governance. The domains are:
- Leadership and Governance: Assesses executive accountability, policy oversight, and integration of cybersecurity and AI risk into enterprise risk management.
- Risk Assessment and Treatment: Evaluates the institution's methodology for identifying, analyzing, and mitigating risks to information assets and AI systems.
- Asset Management and Data Lifecycle: Reviews inventory practices, classification schemes, and handling procedures for data used in both traditional IT systems and AI models.
- Access Control and Identity Management: Tests controls governing user permissions, authentication mechanisms, and privileged access to sensitive systems and model repositories.
- AI System Development and Deployment: Focuses on model documentation, validation processes, version control, and change management for AI applications.
- Monitoring, Logging, and Incident Response: Examines capabilities for detecting anomalies, logging system behavior, and responding to security events involving data or AI components.
- Third-Party and Vendor Risk: Reviews due diligence, contractual obligations, and ongoing monitoring of external providers managing IT infrastructure or AI services.
