SELCC Cybersecurity Workshop

A half-day workshop on governance, risk and compliance for leaders who are accountable for AI, whether they chose it or not.

In March, South East London Chamber of Commerce members were briefed on where everyday AI use puts a business at risk. The Chamber were asked in the feedback if they could do a live event for half a day expanding on the webinar.

Since then, AI agents have moved from pilot projects into daily operations. Shadow AI has produced hard numbers instead of hunches. Regulators in the UK and the EU have redrawn their timetables. This half-day workshop takes leaders further, past the warning and into the discipline of control.

You do not need to be technical to attend. You need to be accountable and that includes solopreneurs. If AI touches your data, your decisions or your customers, the responsibility already sits with you.

Who this is for:

Chamber of Commerce members who are using AI and want to understand the risk.

The Chamber also welcomes CEOs, managing partners and senior leaders at mid-sized, information-rich businesses across London and the South East, companies that are scaling fast, possibly seeking investors and cannot afford a governance gap to catch up with them. You may or may not be Chamber members.

Format

Half a day, 15 October 2026, 9am to 12noon, Greenwich Campus London South East Colleges, 94-95 Plumstead Road, London, SE18 7DQ. 

A working session, not a lecture. You will leave with documents in hand, not just notes.

What will the workshop cover

• Where AI already sits in your business: a live audit of shadow AI, built on current data about unauthorised use and data leakage, not guesswork.
• Why automation never transfers accountability: what UK GDPR, the ICO's new statutory powers and your own board expect of you personally.
• The 2026 to 2027 regulatory map: the EU AI Act's revised deadlines, the UK's incoming statutory AI code, and what actually applies to your business now, versus later.
• Agentic AI and the new threat landscape: deepfake fraud, prompt injection, and the test for deciding when an AI agent is ready to be trusted with real operations.
• Building evidenced control: a working introduction to RAID-AI™, our framework for assessing AI risk and demonstrating governance to your board, your investors, your clients and your regulator.

What you will leave with

• How to put together a first-pass risk map of the AI already operating inside your organisation.
• A working draft of an AI use policy you can adapt and issue immediately.
  Clarity on which 2026 and 2027 regulatory deadlines actually apply to your business.
• A practical framework, RAID-AI™, for evidencing AI governance whenever your board, an investor, a client or a regulator asks you to.
• The confidence to answer one question without hesitation: is this under control?
