Governance fatigue is real, teams are drowning in checklists, not building scalable compliance.
The situation this course is for
Too many engineers spend cycles rebuilding the same governance components instead of scaling what works. The result: duplicated effort, inconsistent implementation, and missed influence beyond the immediate team.
Who this is for
Senior infrastructure engineer at a global tech firm, leading or contributing to AI governance implementation with exposure to ISO standards and cross-team coordination.
Who this is not for
Entry-level engineers, non-technical compliance staff, or consultants without hands-on infrastructure deployment experience.
What you walk away with
- Produce reusable governance artefacts that integrate directly into infrastructure workflows
- Align ISO 42001 requirements with existing Meta engineering standards and deployment cycles
- Extend influence to adjacent teams adopting AI governance, without formal authority
- Accelerate audit readiness using pre-mapped control templates tied to infrastructure components
- Build a documented, transferable playbook that survives team reshuffles and leadership changes
