Join us to get ahead of AI and third-party risk, gain clearer risk oversight, and reduce risk blind spots.
Highlights
- Learn how leading organizations design and operate AI governance frameworks

AI adoption is accelerating, but new research shows that most organizations still have major blind spots, especially around third-party AI exposure, unclear ownership of AI governance, and increasing board expectations for oversight. While many teams believe they’re prepared, the study reveals gaps in visibility, accountability, and confidence across AI and vendor ecosystems.
In this webinar, Michael Rasmussen, one of the leading voices in GRC will break down the most critical trends and early warning signs. You’ll get a clear view of how organizations are structuring AI programs, where maturity gaps create the greatest risk, and why transparency into vendor-driven AI remains so limited.
Henry Umney, Managing Director of GRC Strategy at Mitratech, recently named a Leader in the AI Maturity Matrix Quadrant, will also share practical guidance on building strong, defensible AI oversight.
If you want clearer oversight and fewer risk blind spots before audits or leadership asks for it, this session gives you the direction you need.
Speakers:
- Henry Umney, Managing Director of GRC Strategy at Mitratech
- Michael Rasmussen, GRC Analyst & Pundit, GRC 20/20 Research, LLC
