I’m Dr. Baz Abouelenein — a higher-education CIO and IT auditor who holds six active credentials (AAIA, CISA, CISM, CRISC, CISSP, PMP) and a Doctorate in Management. When ISACA launched the Advanced in AI Audit (AAIA) exam, I studied it myself and passed on the first attempt. Then I built the prep tool I wished I’d had: 1,155 original practice questions, written by someone who’s actually done the audits and taken the test.
20+ years in IT leadership. Eleven as CIO at Kansas City Kansas Community College. Three as dual CIO/CISO at Grantham University. The rest advising 50+ institutions on AI governance, cybersecurity risk, and infrastructure strategy.
D.M. in Organizational Leadership. Executive certificates from MIT Sloan and Carnegie Mellon. Six active credentials: AAIA (early adopter), CISA, CISM, CRISC, CISSP, and PMP.
Named one of EdTech Magazine's 13 Most Social Higher Education CIOs on Twitter (2013) and one of HuffPost's Top 100 Most Social CIOs on Twitter (2016). Named to EdTech Magazine's 2021 Dean's List: 30 Higher Ed IT Influencers Worth a Follow.
When I took the AAIA exam in its first year, the available prep material was thin. Most resources were either generic AI overviews or recycled CISA content. Nothing was written specifically for the exam’s scenario-based format or its 21 AI governance frameworks.
I wrote every question in AAIA Prep from scratch. All 1,155 of them: scenario-based, framework-mapped, and built against the current ISACA exam content outline. The AAIA exam tests 21 AI governance frameworks by name. Most prep materials cover the concepts. These questions test the frameworks the way ISACA does: in context, under time pressure, with distractors that require you to know the difference between NIST AI RMF Govern and Map functions.
