MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
I am Himanshu Jha. I have spent more than twenty years in governance, risk, compliance and audit, including hands-on data security and generative AI governance inside a regulated Canadian payments company. That means the frameworks in this course are not theory to me. I have had to operationalise them under real regulatory scrutiny.
I hold the AAISM credential myself, along with the other three ISACA and IAPP AI certifications: AIGP, AAIR and AAIA. Alongside CISA, CISM, CRISC, CISSP, CCSP, CDPSE, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor and CFE.
I wrote every module, every study guide and every practice question in this program myself. You are learning from one person, with one way of explaining things, all the way through.

Jennifer Smith
Principal, Cloud Security & GRC (Dallas, US)
As a Senior Director, my goal was to build a structured, exam-ready foundation in AI security management so I could confidently lead AI security programs within my organization. While my other credentials gave me strong grounding in security governance and program delivery, I wanted a focused resource that specifically addressed the AAISM domains, one that would help me bridge the gap between general cybersecurity leadership and the AI-specific risk, governance, and compliance knowledge the role increasingly demands.
The study guides and mind maps were genuinely invaluable, especially during last-minute preparation, they helped me quickly capture the essence of each domain without having to re-read entire modules, making my revision sessions sharp and targeted. Beyond the certification itself, I now have a clearer, more actionable framework for governing and securing AI systems at the enterprise level, which is exactly what I needed in my role. I would strongly recommend this program to any professional who wants to lead AI security initiatives with credibility and depth.

System Administrator (U.S.)
Himanshu has done an exceptional job in structuring the content. The logical flow of topics makes complex AI governance and security concepts easy to understand and retain. The video quality, audio clarity, presentation style, and supporting study materials are all of a very high standard.
What impressed me most is the thought put into the learning journey. Each topic builds naturally on the previous one, making it easier to connect concepts rather than memorizing isolated facts.
The course strikes a great balance between exam preparation and practical understanding. Having taken many professional certification courses over the years, I can confidently say this is among the best-designed learning experiences I have encountered.
Highly recommended for anyone preparing for ISACA AAISM or looking to build a solid foundation in AI governance, security, and risk management.
