Tailored, not generic

Every session is adapted to your industry, your AI use cases, and your team's existing knowledge. A healthcare DPO workshop looks nothing like a fintech one — and it should not.

Delivered by practitioners

Our trainers are the same consultants who implement ISO 42001, ISO 27701, and DPDP compliance for clients. You learn from people who do the work — not just teach about it.

Regulation-current always

Content is updated continuously as the DPDP Act rules evolve, the EU AI Act enforcement timeline progresses, and ISO guidance is updated. You learn the current position — not last year's.

Actionable from day one

Participants leave with practical tools they can use immediately — templates, checklists, decision frameworks, and a clear understanding of their personal responsibilities under each standard.

Certification pathways

From Academy to Certification

Academy training is the foundation for your organisation's management system certifications. Here is how the learning path connects to ISO certification.

AI Governance pathway

ISO/IEC 42001 Certification

Academy training builds the internal awareness and capability your AIMS implementation needs to succeed. Leadership buy-in, AI team understanding, and internal audit capability — all delivered through the Academy before implementation begins.

Leadership Workshop → AI Risk Workshop → AIMS Implementation → ISO 42001 Certified
Privacy governance pathway

ISO/IEC 27701 Certification

Privacy awareness training and DPO coaching create the organisational foundation that makes PIMS implementation sustainable. Internal auditor training then gives you the capability to maintain the system between certification cycles.

27701 & DPDP Workshop → DPO Coaching → PIMS Implementation → ISO 27701 Certified
India compliance pathway

DPDP Act Compliance

The DPDP Masterclass gives compliance and legal teams the detailed knowledge they need to build a practical compliance programme. Combined with ISO 27701 training, it provides the fastest path to demonstrable DPDP compliance.

DPDP Masterclass → 27701 & DPDP Workshop → PIMS Implementation → DPDP Compliant
