Security, Compliance, and Governance for AI Solutions
AWS Skill Builder
Last updated February 24, 2026
Security, Compliance, and Governance for AI Solutions is a free, one-hour course on the controls that keep an AI system trustworthy and accountable in production. It works through three connected areas: recognizing the governance and compliance requirements that apply to AI systems, the data-governance strategies and the approaches for putting them into practice, and the security and privacy considerations specific to AI — down to concrete practices like citing sources, documenting where data came from, and tracking the lineage of data and models. Each area is paired with the AWS services that help apply the controls. The course is conceptual, delivered through interactive elements, text, and illustrative graphics.

- Governance and compliance considerations for AI systems
- Data-governance strategies + how to implement them
- Security and privacy considerations specific to AI
- Source citation and documenting data origins

Why we suggest this course
A practical introduction to the governance, compliance, security, and privacy questions that AI systems raise once they leave the prototype stage — including data lineage, source citation, and secure data engineering. One thing to know: it is built by AWS and maps each control onto specific AWS services (IAM, CloudTrail, Audit Manager, Inspector, VPC, WAF), so expect the platform framing — the governance and security principles themselves are general.
