Being brought in late on ISO 42001 scoping, with incomplete mappings and peer dependencies slowing sign-off
The situation this course is for
Teams rush to meet audit deadlines, but without clear ownership of the full ISO 42001 lifecycle, practitioners inherit fragmented control mappings, incomplete SoAs, and unclear handoffs, leading to rework and diluted accountability.
Who this is for
Mid-level governance practitioner in a global consultancy, accountable for delivering regulator-ready AI governance artefacts on tight timelines
Who this is not for
Executives seeking high-level overviews, junior staff needing introductory compliance training, or teams focused solely on ISO 27001 or SOC 2 without AI governance scope
What you walk away with
- Produce a complete ISO 42001 Statement of Applicability with justification-backed exclusions
- Lead cross-functional alignment on control ownership without escalation
- Respond confidently to regulator-facing review comments with source-backed rationale
- Own vendor evaluation criteria and evidence collection from first contact to final submission
- Deliver repeatable implementation packages that reduce setup time by 50% across future engagements
