"The AARC-360 Compliance Podcast is another way we're helping clients and the broader business community understand emerging risks, evolving standards, and practical approaches to building trust through effective governance."
The discussion also examines the relationship between ISO/IEC 42001 and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF), common implementation challenges, and the role that AI governance plays in strengthening organizational resilience and stakeholder confidence.
The AARC-360 Compliance Podcast is intended for executives, board members, technology leaders, cybersecurity professionals, internal auditors, compliance officers, and risk management professionals seeking practical insights into today's most significant governance and assurance topics.
