A 10-module course for the person at your company who is going to bridge the gap between your team and your security team, and actually get AI tools approved.
Start the Course on LinkedIn LearningIf you do even week one of this course, you will have done more in a few days than most people at your company will do on AI governance all year. That is not a pep talk. I have watched Fortune 500s spend eighteen months in working groups on less than what is in this packet.

Each module includes a short video lesson and a one-page PDF worksheet you can bring to your security team.
Three questions to determine if you are the person who will carry this forward.
Map your weekly tasks and walk out with a ranked list of three to five places where AI saves your team real hours.
Cold requests get rejected. This module helps you find one person on the security team who has said yes recently.
What does security need to see? What are the auto-disqualifiers? What is the fastest path to approval?
If everything is red, nothing ships. Learn to classify the data your AI tool will actually touch.
Take one use case from your ranked list and run it through a complete risk review.
Paste a URL, scrape the vendor's policies, and score the four questions security will ask.
The sandbox is not the goal. It is the proving ground. This module shows you how to get there.
One page, five sections. Security reads one-pagers. They do not read slide decks.
Everything you need to maintain governance once the tool is live.
Most AI tool requests get denied because nobody can show a measurable improvement to the team's actual workflow. These worksheets fix that.
By Module 2, you will have a ranked list of three to five places where AI saves your team real hours every week, with numbers you can defend. That list is the foundation of every conversation you will have with security, legal, and finance for the rest of the course.
By Module 3, you will have one named security buddy and a calendar invite for coffee. Their job is not to approve your tool. Their job is to beat up your proposal before the formal review, help you find the gaps, and then champion it through.
By Module 9, you will have a one-page proposal in the format security actually reads, auto-filled with the data you gathered along the way.
The difference between a yes and a no is usually who is presenting it, not what is being presented. A cold request submitted through a ticketing system looks like a liability. The same request, walked in by someone who has already talked to a security ally and done the homework, looks like a partnership.
This course is not about gaming the system. It is about learning how things actually work from the people whose job is to keep the company safe.
Ten modules to take you from unsanctioned usage to a fully approved tool with security's blessing.
