AAISM
ISACA Advanced in AI Security Management · ISACA
The AAISM is an add-on certification for security managers: it proves you can govern, manage the risks of and secure artificial intelligence systems within an organisation. Launched recently, it is still building its reputation, but it addresses a pressing need now that the EU AI Act is coming into force. Its strength is to extend an existing CISM or CISSP to AI; its limit is that it is reserved for holders of those certifications and is still little known.
