SETTING GLOBAL STANDARDS FOR AI-Driven GRC.
International Association for Cyber Prompt Engineering
Advancing secure, governed, and auditable Prompt Engineering practices for AI in Governance, Risk, and Compliance.
We help security, audit, and compliance teams use AI safely by turning prompts into structured control frameworks that align with NIST, ISO, FedRAMP, SOC 2, PCI, StateRAMP, and other regulatory standards.
The Global Authority in Cyber Prompt Engineering
IACPE was established to bring structure and high-quality education to the emerging discipline of Prompt Engineering – the art and science of guiding AI effectively in regulated environments. We work with specialists in cybersecurity, compliance, AI safety, and enterprise governance to create globally recognized training programs and certifications that help organizations use AI in an auditable, standards-aligned way.
Secure
Frameworks
We design AI and prompt-engineering frameworks aligned to industry standards (NIST, ISO, FedRAMP, SOC 2, PCI, StateRAMP, CJIS) so your teams can use AI confidently in regulated environments.
GRC
Integration
We embed prompt workflows into your existing governance, risk, and compliance programs—linking AI prompts, policies, and controls so they support audits instead of creating shadow processes.
Expert
Training
We provide role-based, hands-on training so security, audit, and compliance professionals can use AI to create audit-ready GRC documents faster, with greater consistency and traceability.
Global
Network
We connect you to a growing global community of AI-GRC practitioners, offering updated templates, real-world use cases, and continuing education as standards and regulations evolve.
AI Is Powerful But Without Prompt Standards,
It’s Also Risky
IACPE establishes global Prompt Engineering standards that make every AI interaction traceable, auditable, and policy-aligned—reducing risk in data protection, regulatory compliance, and operational consistency. Our frameworks help enterprises build governed, secure, and accountable AI systems that can stand up to regulatory and customer scrutiny.
Defining the Discipline:
Cyber Prompt Engineering
Cyber Prompt Engineering sits at the intersection of AI systems, cybersecurity, and GRC.
It focuses on designing prompts and workflows that:
- Enforce secure AI behavior (preventing data leaks, policy violations, and exposure of sensitive information)
- Align AI outputs with governance and compliance frameworks (NIST, ISO, FedRAMP, SOC 2, PCI, StateRAMP, CJIS, and internal policies)
- Maintain auditable prompt and response logs for regulatory transparency and incident review
In this model, prompts are not casual inputs—they become a governance and control layer that shapes how AI operates across your security, risk, and compliance functions.
Master Prompt Engineering for
Governance, Risk, and Compliance
Our flagship course, AI for GRC: Prompt Engineering and Operational Document Creation, teaches security, risk, and compliance professionals how to use AI to design prompts, generate operational documents, and support audits in a controlled, standards-aligned way.
Design
Compliant Prompts
Learn to craft prompts that reflect enterprise policies, risk tolerances, and regulatory frameworks—so AI outputs align with NIST, ISO, FedRAMP, SOC 2, PCI, and other control requirements.
Audit
AI Outputs
Build repeatable methods to log prompts and responses, document AI-assisted work, and produce audit-ready evidence for internal and external assessments.
Secure
Document Creation
Use AI to accelerate creation of policies, procedures, risk registers, POA&Ms, and other GRC deliverables while maintaining data protection, access controls, and review checkpoints.
Integrate
Prompt Workflows
Embed prompt engineering into your existing GRC processes, tools, and ticketing systems so AI becomes part of your control environment—not an unmanaged side channel.
