Many companies have policies, procedures and security documents, but struggle to prove they are followed. The same problem now exists with AI: teams use AI tools, but often lack ownership, risk assessment, approval workflows, monitoring and evidence. That is where my work creates value. My focus is simple: * Requirement * Risk * Policy * Control * Process * Evidence * Monitoring * Audit Readiness This makes your compliance and AI governance program easier to manage, explain and defend during audits, customer reviews, vendor checks and AI risk reviews. # WHAT CLIENTS HIRE ME FOR * ISO 27001 AND ISMS SUPPORT - ISMS documentation - ISO 27001 readiness - Gap assessments - Control mapping - Risk treatment tracking - Evidence review - Management review input * AI GOVERNANCE, ISO 42001 AND EU AI ACT READINESS - AI governance documentation - ISO 42001 readiness support - EU AI Act readiness support - AI system inventory - AI use case register - AI risk assessment structure - AI impact assessment support - AI control mapping - AI vendor risk review - AI approval workflow - AI monitoring and evidence structure - Responsible AI documentation * GDPR, PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION - GDPR documentation - Privacy process reviews - Vendor privacy checks - Data protection evidence - Regulatory requirement mapping - Privacy risk documentation - Legal and privacy requirements translated into controls * GRC PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT - Compliance obligation registers - Regulatory change tracking - Control libraries - Risk registers - Remediation trackers - Audit plans - Evidence repositories - Policy lifecycle management - KPI and KRI tracking - Management reporting * RISK ASSESSMENT AND VENDOR RISK - Information security risk assessments - Compliance risk workshops - Vendor risk reviews - AI vendor reviews - Control self-assessments - Outsourcing risk reviews - Third-party risk documentation - Remediation planning * AUDIT AND EVIDENCE PREPARATION - Audit planning - Evidence collection - Evidence review - Interview preparation - Control testing documentation - Audit finding analysis - Corrective action tracking * POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND QUESTIONNAIRES - Information security policies - AI governance policies - Access control procedures - Incident response documentation - Business continuity documentation - Vendor risk procedures - Data protection documentation - Control narratives - Audit reports - Decision records - Security questionnaire responses # WHY WORK WITH ME Auditors, customers and management do not only want policies. They want ownership, working controls, traceable evidence, measurable follow-up and proof that the process is followed. With AI, companies need to know which AI tools are used, who owns them, what data they process, what risks exist, what approvals are required, what controls are in place and what evidence proves responsible use. I translate regulatory, security, privacy, AI and framework requirements into clear actions for engineering, IT, product, management and business teams. This reduces confusion and speeds up evidence collection. # TYPICAL PROJECTS - ISO 27001 gap assessments - GDPR documentation review - AI governance setup - ISO 42001 readiness support - EU AI Act readiness support - AI system inventory creation - AI risk assessment structure - Security policy creation - Risk register setup - Compliance obligation registers - Internal audit checklists - Audit evidence preparation - Vendor risk assessments - Security questionnaire responses - AI vendor risk reviews - Control mapping - KPI and KRI setup - Management review preparation - Corrective action tracking - GRC documentation cleanup # MY WORKING APPROACH I start by understanding your audit goal, documentation, risks, ownership, evidence, AI usage, stakeholders and deadlines. Then I structure the work into clear priorities, deliverables and next steps. My approach is detailed, calm and evidence-driven. I avoid unnecessary complexity and focus on what auditors, customers, management and internal teams need to see. The goal is to build a working compliance and AI governance structure that your team can understand, maintain and improve. # WHAT YOU GET Clear documentation, control mapping, audit-ready evidence structure, AI governance structure, risk and remediation tracking, and business-friendly explanations for all stakeholders.
