Using Zscaler’s recent claims as a case study, David walks through vendor promises, compliance implications, audit gaps, and blind spots around explainability, bias, and portability. The episode introduces a practical CISO Vendor AI Evaluation Sheet across six domains — data handling, AI governance, auditability, liability, transparency, and exit strategy — to help CISOs push beyond assurances and demand evidence. Key Takeaways:Why “Responsible AI” is often indistinguishable from “Responsible Marketing”The compliance challenges with GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, SR 11-7, and the EU AI ActHow metadata, audit evidence gaps, and third-party dependencies introduce hidden riskWhy boards must be educated on AI risk vs. AI marketing hypeWhy CISOs must own the Responsible AI conversation before regulators step inNotable Quotes:“Responsible AI should be more than a press release. It must be auditable, enforceable, and defensible in front of a regulator.”“When regulators knock, they won’t call the vendor first. They’ll call you.”“Don’t just take a vendor’s word for it — ask hard questions, demand evidence, and get it in writing.”Listener Benefits:By listening, you’ll gain a sharper lens for evaluating AI vendor claims, practical tools to strengthen your vendor management process, and strategies to get ahead of inevitable regulation. Call to Action:👉 Download the free CISO Vendor AI Evaluation Sheet from the show notes.👉 Share this episode with your peers and comment your perspective on LinkedIn.👉 Subscribe on...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ug-fdoDtb-XHe_KV42kTMgyIR-0A0-pVyy6kAU5aDd0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83YTZi/YjBjZDcwZGU5Zjcz/M2E1ZWJkY2QxMTFk/MjkyZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
