ISO 42001 is the first international standard for an AI management system (AIMS), the AI-specific counterpart to ISO 27001. It gives organizations that build or deploy AI a structured way to govern models responsibly across their lifecycle. Adoption is early, which makes readiness now a genuine differentiator: you can be first in your market to show buyers a real AI governance program.
You get a working AI management system and the documentation to prove you govern AI deliberately, not as an afterthought. If you already run an ISO 27001 ISMS, we build the AIMS on top of it so the two reinforce each other instead of duplicating effort. Being early here is a sales advantage, not just a compliance checkbox.
ISO 42001 is an international standard, published in 2023, that specifies requirements for an artificial intelligence management system (AIMS). It is the AI-focused analogue to ISO 27001 for information security, covering how an organization governs AI across its lifecycle.
Because it is early. Few companies have it yet, so demonstrating a real AI management system sets you apart with enterprise buyers and regulators paying closer attention to AI. It also positions you ahead of emerging AI regulation.
They share the same management-system structure, so if you already run an ISO 27001 ISMS, much of the governance scaffolding carries over. We build the AI management system on top of your existing program rather than starting from scratch.
Yes. Like ISO 27001, certification is issued by an accredited registrar after an audit. We get you ready and coordinate the audit, but we do not issue the certificate ourselves since preparer and auditor must be independent.
