With the EU AI Act entering force and creating mandatory compliance requirements for high-risk AI systems, European organizations urgently need robust AI governance frameworks. Without proper AI management systems, companies risk significant fines (up to 7% of global turnover), compliance failures, and operational incidents. While ISO 42001 provides the international framework that aligns with EU AI Act requirements, most organizations struggle with practical implementation, especially in Microsoft ecosystems where AI capabilities are rapidly expanding.
This session provides a practical roadmap for implementing ISO 42001 AI Management Systems within Microsoft environments, covering Azure AI services, Copilot deployments, and custom AI solutions. Led by an ISO 42001 Lead Auditor, you'll learn how to establish governance frameworks that satisfy regulatory requirements while enabling AI innovation.
Through real-world audit experiences and practical implementation guidance, attendees will discover how to map ISO 42001 requirements to Microsoft AI services, align AI management systems with EU AI Act compliance obligations, and implement effective risk management processes for high-risk AI systems. The session covers establishing data governance for AI pipelines, creating audit trails that satisfy EU regulatory requirements, and building continuous monitoring and improvement processes. You'll gain practical insights from actual ISO 42001 audits and EU AI Act gap analyses, along with actionable templates and frameworks.
This session targets IT leaders, compliance officers, AI project managers, and security professionals responsible for AI governance. Basic familiarity with AI concepts and Microsoft AI services is helpful, but specific ISO 42001 knowledge is not required - we'll build that foundation together.
Key Takeaways - By the end of this session, attendees will have:

Clear understanding of ISO 42001 requirements and EU AI Act alignment for Microsoft AI solutions
Practical implementation templates and checklists for AI governance compliance
Risk assessment frameworks tailored to common Microsoft AI scenarios and EU high-risk classifications
Documentation strategies that satisfy ISO 42001 auditors and EU AI Act requirements
Action plan for implementing compliant AI management systems in their organization
