Compliance teams often inherit AI tools they didn’t design, can’t audit, and struggle to justify during review cycles.

The situation this course is for

Without clear frameworks, AI adoption in detection introduces opacity, inconsistent outcomes, and misalignment with regulatory requirements, leading to delays, rework, and eroded trust.

Who this is for

A compliance, risk, or governance professional in a regulated sector who needs to understand, evaluate, and oversee AI-powered cybersecurity detection systems without becoming a data scientist.

Who this is not for

This course is not for data scientists building core AI models or engineers focused solely on SOC operations without compliance integration.

What you walk away with

  • Evaluate AI detection tools using compliance-first criteria
  • Map AI outputs to control frameworks like NIST, ISO 27001, and GDPR
  • Reduce false positives through calibrated threshold design
  • Document AI decisions for audit readiness
  • Lead cross-functional AI implementation with security and IT teams
