ISO 42001

AI management systems done right. Navigate the complexities of responsible AI with a framework that actually makes sense.

What is ISO 42001?

ISO 42001 is the world's first international standard for AI management systems. Published in 2023, it provides a framework for organizations to manage AI responsibly throughout the entire lifecycle — from development to deployment and beyond.

With the EU AI Act coming into force and increasing scrutiny on AI systems, ISO 42001 certification demonstrates that your organization takes AI governance seriously.

Who needs ISO 42001?

AI product companies

If you're building AI-powered products, certification shows customers you've thought carefully about safety, fairness, and transparency.

Companies using AI

Deploying AI in your operations? A management system helps you govern those systems responsibly and demonstrate due diligence.

Regulated industries

Financial services, healthcare, and other regulated sectors face increasing expectations around AI governance.

EU AI Act compliance

ISO 42001 aligns with EU AI Act requirements and can support your compliance journey for high-risk AI systems.

What we do

1

AI inventory and risk assessment

We help you identify all AI systems in your organization and assess their risks. This includes understanding data flows, decision impacts, and potential harms.

2

AIMS design

We design an AI Management System tailored to your organization. This covers governance structures, policies, roles, and processes for responsible AI.

3

Policy and documentation

We create practical policies covering AI ethics, fairness, transparency, human oversight, and data quality. Clear, usable documents your team will follow.

4

Implementation

We work with your teams to implement controls: model cards, impact assessments, monitoring systems, and human-in-the-loop processes.

5

Certification support

We prepare you for certification audits, including gap analysis, internal audits, and readiness reviews.

Works with ISO 27001

ISO 42001 is designed to integrate with other management systems. If you already have ISO 27001, adding AI governance builds naturally on your existing ISMS. Many controls overlap, and you'll benefit from a unified approach to risk management.

We can help you implement both standards together, or add ISO 42001 to your existing ISO 27001 certification.
