Introduction
This three-day course is designed for professionals looking to expand their auditing expertise to include Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS). If you have already completed a lead auditor course, this training provides the necessary knowledge and skills to perform first, second, and third-party audits of AIMS against ISO 42001.
Who should attend?
This course is ideal for lead auditors in Information Security or Privacy who wish to extend their expertise to auditing AIMS in line with ISO 42001. It’s also perfect for those who need to fulfil formal auditor conversion training requirements to conduct effective AIMS audits.
What will you learn?
By the end of the course, you’ll gain the practical skills and knowledge to:
- Understand the purpose and benefits of an AIMS.
- Familiarise yourself with essential definitions and terminology to interpret and audit ISO 42001.
- Analyse the clauses of ISO 42001 and suggest appropriate evidence to demonstrate conformance.
- Review ISO 42001’s normative references, objectives, and controls in Annex A and its implementation guidance for AI controls in Annex B.
- Gain insights into the informative references, potential AI-related objectives, and risk sources in Annex C.
- Evaluate procedures and assess conformance with ISO 42001.
- Develop an effective audit plan that ensures audit trails across processes, areas, and team members.
- Conduct process and area audits, assessing the implementation of an AIMS.
- Gather and assess objective evidence through observation, interviews, and documentation review.
- Accurately report findings, write nonconformity reports, and assess corrective actions.
What do you need to prepare?
Before attending the course, you’ll need to complete pre-coursework.
This course builds on prior lead auditor training, so delegates should already have an understanding of lead auditor practices. The focus here is solely on ISO 42001, with a brief refresher of general lead auditor activities at the beginning of the course.
Essential knowledge required:
- Familiarity with the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle.
- Understanding the purpose and benefits of an AIMS.
- Basic knowledge of AIMS management, including risk assessment, risk control, impact assessment, and compliance with legal requirements.
- Awareness of common national and local AIMS legislation and regulations.
- Familiarity with AIMS terminology as defined in ISO 42001 and ISO 22989.
- Understanding of the requirements of ISO 42001 (gained via LRQA’s ISO 42001 Appreciation and Interpretation or Internal Auditor course).
