As organizations rush to deploy AI, the gap between security leadership and AI-specific risk expertise keeps widening. This program bridges that gap by teaching experienced security managers how AI governance frameworks, risk assessments, and technical controls work in production environments. You will examine model-level threats, vendor and supply-chain exposure, and regulatory pressure such as the EU AI Act, then apply that knowledge through scenario-based labs mirroring the AAISM exam format.
This course is built for experienced security professionals who already hold a CISM or CISSP and are now being asked to own AI risk. It suits:
By the end of this training, you'll be able to:
Completing this training positions you for senior roles where AI risk ownership is now expected. Typical roles include:
igmGuru brings together practical training design and real-world security experience to help you prepare with confidence. Here's what you get:
After completing this AAISM training, its hands-on labs, and the final project review, you'll receive a Course Completion Certificate from igmGuru documenting your training hours and topics covered. To earn the official ISACA Advanced in AI Security Management credential, you'll separately need to hold an active CISM or CISSP, register with ISACA, and pass the AAISM exam within your eligibility window. This training is designed to prepare you for that exam - igmGuru's certificate reflects completion of our program, while ISACA issues the AAISM credential itself.
AAISM (Advanced in AI Security Management) is a credential from ISACA that validates a security manager's ability to govern, assess, and secure AI systems inside an enterprise, building on existing security management practice.
You must hold an active CISM or CISSP certification. There is currently no experience-only or alternate-certification path to eligibility.
You do not need it to begin learning the material, but you will need an active CISM or CISSP before you can register for and sit the official AAISM exam.
The exam covers three domains - AI governance and program management, AI risk management, and AI technologies and controls - delivered as scenario-based multiple-choice questions.
The program runs 25 hours of instructor-led content, with self-paced access to recordings and materials afterward so you can revisit any module.
For CISM or CISSP holders whose responsibilities now include AI oversight, AAISM is one of the few credentials built specifically around AI security leadership rather than general AI literacy, which makes it a strong differentiator in current job markets.
AAISM focuses on security management - governance, risk, and controls for AI systems - while AAIA is centered on AI auditing. They serve different career tracks even though both sit under ISACA's advanced AI credentials.
No. This course prepares you for the ISACA AAISM exam and gives you an igmGuru completion certificate. The official AAISM credential is issued only by ISACA after you pass its exam and meet its application requirements.
Graduates typically move into or strengthen roles such as AI Security Manager, AI Governance Lead, Enterprise Risk and Compliance Manager, or CISO with AI portfolio oversight.
Yes. Recorded sessions and lifetime support access mean you can revisit any live class you miss as part of your enrollment.
