Webinar: ISO 42001 – Where to Start with AI Governance

FREE Webinar: ISO 42001 – Where to Start with AI Governance

Understand your AI use. Build clear governance. Take practical next steps.

Join Secarma for a free, practical webinar exploring ISO 42001, how organisations can introduce effective AI governance and where to begin.

AI is becoming part of everyday work. But do you know where it's being used, who's responsible and how decisions about its use are being made?

For organisations introducing AI tools or developing AI-powered services, it can be difficult to know where governance should begin. Teams need guidance on what they can use, what information they can share and when human oversight is needed.

ISO/IEC 42001 is the international standard for AI management systems, providing a structured approach to managing and continually improving how organisations develop, provide or use AI.

In this webinar, we'll explain what the standard covers, how it relates to your organisation's existing governance arrangements and how to take your first steps towards a more consistent approach to managing AI.

We'll also explore how AI governance works alongside technical security testing, helping you connect policies and decision-making with checks on how AI-powered systems behave in practice.

What We'll Cover

We'll explore how ISO 42001 can help organisations establish a more structured approach to AI governance, from understanding current AI use to assigning responsibilities and managing risks.

We'll cover:

• Understanding ISO 42001: What the standard covers, why it matters and what an AI management system involves.
• Identifying AI use: Understanding where AI is being used across your organisation and how to define the scope of your governance approach.
• Roles and responsibilities: Establishing clear ownership for AI use, approval, decision-making and oversight.
• Assessing AI risks and impacts: Understanding the potential effects of AI on your organisation, its customers and the people affected by its use.
• Developing practical policies: Creating guidance that helps employees understand what they can use, what information they can share and when additional approval is needed.
• Governance and technical security testing: Understanding how management processes and technical testing work together to support secure, responsible AI use.
• Building on existing frameworks: Using established governance, risk management and information security processes to support AI management.
• Getting started with implementation: Practical first steps towards ISO 42001 and what to consider if certification is your goal.

Turning AI Governance into Practice

It's not just about having an AI policy. It's about understanding how AI is being used and making sure the right controls and responsibilities are in place.

Many organisations are already using AI in some form, whether that's employees working with AI assistants, teams introducing new tools or businesses developing AI-powered products and services.

As that use grows, it becomes increasingly important to understand who is responsible for decisions, what information AI systems can access and how risks and potential impacts are assessed.

ISO 42001 provides a structured approach to managing these questions, but getting started doesn't necessarily mean building an entirely new set of processes from scratch.

We'll explore how organisations can build on existing governance arrangements, identify where additional controls may be useful and develop guidance that employees can apply in their day-to-day work.

We'll also explain why governance and technical security testing complement one another. Having clear policies and responsibilities is important, but organisations also need confidence that their AI-powered systems behave as intended.

Our aim is to help you understand how these different elements fit together and identify practical steps towards a more consistent approach to AI management.
