Becoming an AI Governance, Risk & Compliance Practitioner
Francois B. Arthanas
Ph.D. Scholar and Lead Cyber Instructor
Master AI Governance, Risk & Compliance. Build a portfolio. No deep tech needed.
AI is moving faster than regulation, policy, and organizational readiness.
Companies are deploying AI systems they cannot fully govern, explain, or control and regulators are responding with new laws, audits, and enforcement.
Meanwhile:
Traditional cybersecurity roles are overcrowded
GRC roles are growing but poorly defined
AI governance talent is rare and in demand
Most professionals know this shift is happening.
Very few know how to position themselves to benefit from it.
What you’ll learn
The AI GRC Practitioner Program prepares professionals to confidently step into modern GRC roles focused on AI risk, governance & compliance
Translate technical AI issues into clear risk, governance, and compliance language decision-makers understand.
Practice framing AI risks the way auditors, regulators, and boards expect to hear them.
Lead the practical end-to-end lifecycle of the Risk Management Framework, from mapping system context to continuous monitoring.
Build a comprehensive, audit-ready AI Management System (AIMS) from the ground up.
Plan and execute technical and procedural audits covering data provenance, model robustness, and deployment.
Understand how AI governance fits into enterprise GRC programs, policies, and oversight structures.
Apply practical governance controls for AI systems, including accountability, documentation, and oversight.
Analyze real AI governance failures to understand what regulators and auditors look for in practice.
Identify how emerging AI regulations and standards affect governance and compliance programs.
Map AI use cases to existing GRC, audit, and risk management processes.

The Enterprise AI Use Case Inventory & Risk Register
You will build a dynamic, live document that identifies, inventories, and assesses high-impact AI systems using the NIST AI RMF "Map" and "Measure" functions
ISO 42001-Aligned AI Management System (AIMS)
Governance without a framework is just an opinion. You will design a comprehensive, audit-ready AI Management System (AIMS) that maps your control universe to ISO 42001 and NIST CSF.
The EU AI Act High-Risk Readiness Playbook
Compliance is the biggest driver of AI GRC spend right now. You will conduct a formal regulatory gap analysis and readiness assessment specifically for High-Risk AI Systems under Articles 8-17 of the EU AI Act.
Technical AI Audit Program (ISACA AAIA Aligned)
You will plan and execute an end-to-end audit of an AI system covering data provenance, model testing, and deployment aligned with ISACA’s AAIA domains. You will walk away with sample testing scripts and a professional-grade AI Audit Report.
The Executive AI Risk Dashboard & Board Memo
Technical risk is useless if the C-Suite can't understand it. You will create a high-level AI Risk Dashboard that visualizes Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) for executive consumption.
