Overview
What is PECB LAIRM?
The PECB Certified Lead AI Risk Manager certifies holders to build and operate an AI risk management program based on NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, and MIT AI Risk Repository. The five-day training covers identification, assessment, treatment, and monitoring of AI-specific risks and awards 31 CPD credits. The exam is scenario-based with a 70 percent passing score. Unlike the ISO standard schemes, LAIRM is a PECB-owned scheme that integrates multiple frameworks. Full Lead credentialing requires five years of professional experience (two in AI risk) plus 300 project hours. In the DACH market demand grows due to the EU AI Act and complements traditional ISMS risk methods.
