About Benedict Onodu. CTS.MBCS

A CTS with more than 20 years in Pro AV.With credentials including ISO 27001 Practitioner, CompTIA Security+, AVIXA CTS, and service as a member of the AVIXA Standards Steering Committee, I bring a multidisciplinary perspective that spans security governance, systems engineering, AV risk, and operational resilience. I understand AI as a socio‑technical system, where risks extend across architecture, data flows, user behaviour, and integrated AV/UC environments. 

i've led the design and optimisation of secure collaboration environments — from Microsoft Teams to enterprise meeting rooms and hybrid working platforms — supporting high‑stakes spaces such as Board meetings, AGMs, and multi‑site collaboration.

I am now expanding my leadership into AI governance and responsible technology, developing capability in ISO/IEC 42001 (AIMS) and the NIST AI RMF to help organisations operationalise AI safely, ethically, and at scale

Hi Matt, Just to make sure i understand your question - Do you mean what certification or requirements you could be demanding  from your IT suppliers to ensure they have capacity and best-practice culture to safely implement and maintain MTRs?

Wow! Thanks @Iulia Popescu - AVIXA for this piece, to be honest i was drooling as i read. This is another brilliant example that AV is what you make it and applicable to diverse use-cases. Food is a great connector an adding a visual experiance is icing to the cake!
