West Cornwall: Goonhilly and the Porthcurno cable landings, United Kingdom. Flat plan of the same data: relief as contours from the inline grid, the mapped ground infrastructure by kind, the mapped cables and the numbers below. The 3D twin opens on devices that can draw it, once its data and code have been checked.
Terrain 0 to 245 m
4 satellite dishes
74 communication masts and towers
12 telephone exchanges
7 data centres and cable landing stations

Credits and dates per layer are listed under the stage. Relief in the twin is exaggerated ×1.5 for legibility.

Known exploited vulnerabilities Catalogue entries added in the last three years with six fields: CVE id, vendor or project, product, date added, due date and the known ransomware campaign use flag. Source: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog (CC0 1.0), snapshot 2026-10-17, catalogue version 2026.10.16. read 2026-10-17.Estimate: A dated snapshot, never a live or complete vulnerability feed; vendor and product names are the vendors' own marks shown as data; no CISA logo or DHS seal.
Night-time lights, VIIRS day-night band Night-time radiance for the date shown, draped on the terrain, as a proxy for where settlements and sites draw power. VIIRS SNPP day-night band at-sensor radiance, NASA, via NASA GIBS, with the product date. Live: this page requests gibs.earthdata.nasa.gov when the layer is opened; the data date is printed with it.We acknowledge the use of imagery provided by services from NASA's Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS), part of NASA's Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS).Estimate: Satellite radiance with moonlight and cloud not corrected in this product; lights are a proxy, never a measurement of electricity supply, access or outages.
Why this place: One box of about 57 by 55 kilometres holds Goonhilly Earth Station (the ground segment of satellite communications since 1962 and a deep-space ground station today), the Porthcurno valley where transatlantic telegraph and later fibre cables came ashore, the Culdrose air station and the telecom masts of a rural peninsula, so the ground segment, cable landings and the resilience of positioning, navigation, timing and communication can be taught in one place. Data quality: OpenStreetMap coverage of the United Kingdom is complete for masts, dishes and named sites, Copernicus DEM GLO-30 covers the terrain in four tiles, and VIIRS night lights show where the digital economy draws power. It connects to the Space systems, space weather and navigation, cybersecurity, Digital public infrastructure and digital identity and Data infrastructure, compute and semiconductors disciplines of the atlas.

03The subject
The subject, methods and measures and debates and bodies
The field and its scope
For auditors, compliance leads, risk officers and conformity assessment bodies who must turn evidence about an AI system into a justified, documented and reviewable judgement.
Quantities and units
Methods and their limits
Each method is listed with what it assumes and where it fails.
What the field debates
Bodies that set practice, and the data they publish
Bodies and standards are named so that learners can find and apply their published work. The Academy teaches the use of that work and links to the publisher. No affiliation is implied.
04The method
From a control list to an audit opinion: what a sample of records can establish
Control coverage is two figures, designed and operating; operating effectiveness is judged from a sample of records, and the sample size bounds the exception rate an auditor can rule out, so the opinion rests on how many records were pulled as much as on what they showed.
A field platform page on this subject is in development.

Vrae, antwoorde en kernterme
Is studie hier gratis?
Ja. Elke kursus en leermateriaal van Risk Academy, gelei deur die Nexus Consortium, is gratis om te studeer, op eie tempo of saam met 'n groep. Gewone deelname het geen fooi nie; betaalde werk, internskappe en genootskappe is afsonderlike reëlings.
Wat gee die voltooiing van 'n kursus my?
A completion record: the course, its version, the date and what was assessed, private by default and shared by you. It stacks into discipline, department and programme achievements. A record states what was studied and assessed and does not certify competence. A record is not a licence, a professional title or an employment status.
Waar kom die data en die plekke vandaan?
Every faculty teaches on a twin of a real place built from open data. Each layer carries its provider, licence and date, and every result on the Academy states its source. Maps and figures are indicators for teaching, never an assessment of a place.
How do I take part beyond the courses in aI assurance and audit?
Vorm 'n bevoegdheidsel van drie tot sewe mense, bestudeer 'n gedeelde leerpad, voer 'n gesuperviseerde opdrag in die Nasionale Werkgroepe uit, of bring 'n groep van u instelling saam. Open the page for organisations.
