How to Build Your AI Governance Guardrails

As organizations accelerate the deployment and use of data and AI, operational, reputational, and regulatory risk exposure continues to rise. Digital trust now requires more than cybersecurity maturity; it demands disciplined governance over how data and AI are designed, deployed, and used.

Objective

This webinar explores how to design and implement practical AI governance guardrails grounded in measurable risk outcomes and aligned with existing management system frameworks. Participants will learn how organizations can leverage an integrated ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 42001 approach to operationalize data and AI governance without starting from scratch.

Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the end-to-end customer journey, from awareness and training through gap analysis and system-level testing to management system audit and certification. The session emphasizes how lifecycle governance and assurance reduce AI-related risk and transform governance into defensible, demonstrable outcomes.
