How to use this guide
How to study for ISACA AAISM
Treat each item as a management decision: identify the AI asset and stakeholder, assess risk, select governance or control action, then document evidence and accountability.
1. Identify accountability
Name the AI asset, owner, stakeholder, authority, obligation, and governance forum.
2. Rate and treat risk
Analyze impact, likelihood, control effectiveness, residual risk, treatment, and acceptance authority.
3. Apply controls
Select lifecycle, data, architecture, privacy, ethics, monitoring, incident, or vendor controls.
4. Document evidence
Tie the decision to policy, metrics, logs, testing, assurance evidence, and remediation ownership.
Stakeholders, Frameworks and Regulatory Alignment
AAISM governance starts with accountable stakeholders, AI security roles, legal obligations, standards, frameworks, and regulatory expectations.
Key rules
Rule 1
AI security governance assigns accountability for AI systems, data, models, business owners, risk owners, and control owners.
Exam cue: Start with governance ownership before choosing a technical control.
Rule 2
Framework alignment maps AI security practices to standards, laws, regulations, organizational risk appetite, and audit expectations.
Exam cue: Map obligations to frameworks and policies when multiple regulators or standards apply.
Rule 3
Stakeholder analysis identifies who approves, operates, monitors, audits, and remediates AI security decisions.
Exam cue: Clarify who owns risk decisions when an AI system crosses business and technology boundaries.
Common traps
Treating AI security as only an engineering issue.
Prevention: Avoid treating AI security as only a technical scan, accepting risk without authority, or leaving prompts and data outside governance.
Adopting a framework without mapping it to business obligations.
Prevention: Avoid treating AI security as only a technical scan, accepting risk without authority, or leaving prompts and data outside governance.
Leaving model owners, data owners, and control owners undefined.
Prevention: Avoid treating AI security as only a technical scan, accepting risk without authority, or leaving prompts and data outside governance.
Memory anchors
AI Security Governance
AI security governance defines accountability, authority, policy, oversight, and reporting for AI security decisions.
Stakeholder Map
A stakeholder map identifies owners, approvers, users, operators, auditors, and risk decision makers for AI systems.
Control Owner
A control owner is accountable for operating, testing, and improving an assigned AI security control.
Risk Appetite
Risk appetite defines how much AI security risk leadership is willing to accept for business objectives.
Framework Mapping
Framework mapping connects policies and controls to laws, standards, regulations, and audit criteria.
Regulatory Obligation
A regulatory obligation is a legal or supervisory requirement that affects AI design, use, reporting, or control.
Governance Charter
A governance charter defines scope, authority, membership, escalation, and decision rights for AI oversight.
Accountability Line
An accountability line makes clear who approves risk acceptance and remediation decisions.

How is the mock weighted?
The 100-question mock follows the 31/31/38 domain split from the public AAISM outline.
What should I study first?
Start with governance ownership, AI asset inventory, risk appetite, risk assessment, and AI lifecycle controls before drilling vendor, incident, data, privacy, and monitoring topics.
How should I use the 601 questions?
Use topic drills for weak skills, section drills for each official domain, and weighted mocks to rehearse the full AAISM domain mix.
