ISO/IEC 42001 · New Standard

AI is moving fast.
Govern it right.

ISO/IEC 42001 is the world's first international standard for AI Management Systems. As organizations race to adopt AI, certification proves you're doing it responsibly — to clients, partners, and regulators.

Implementation to audit — full scope covered

Whether you're formalizing existing AI practices or starting from zero, we build an AIMS that satisfies auditors and actually improves how your organization deploys AI.

AIMS Implementation

Establish an AI Management System built to the ISO/IEC 42001:2023 standard. From scoping to control deployment, we guide you through every requirement — ensuring your AI practices are auditable, ethical, and certification-ready from day one.

ISO 42001 Internal Audit

An impartial review of your AIMS against ISO/IEC 42001 requirements. Our auditors identify gaps, assess risk, and produce a clear remediation roadmap — so you enter your external certification audit knowing exactly where you stand.

ISO 42001 Maintenance

Certification is the starting line, not the finish. We support ongoing AIMS maintenance — surveillance audits, control updates, continual improvement reviews, and regulatory monitoring — so your programme stays current as your AI footprint grows.

Frequently asked questions

What is ISO 42001?

ISO/IEC 42001 is the first certifiable management system standard for artificial intelligence: an AI Management System (AIMS) covering how you govern the AI you build or use, including roles, risk and impact assessments, data governance and human oversight.

Who needs ISO 42001?

Two groups: companies building AI products who need to answer enterprise due-diligence questionnaires, and companies deploying AI internally at a scale where ungoverned use is itself a risk. If AI touches decisions about people (credit, hiring, health), you are firmly in scope for scrutiny.

How does ISO 42001 relate to the EU AI Act?

The AI Act is law with its own conformity requirements; ISO 42001 is a voluntary management system. They are complementary: the AIMS gives you the governance structure (inventory, risk assessment, oversight, documentation) that makes AI Act obligations manageable rather than a scramble.

Can ISO 42001 be integrated with our ISO 27001 ISMS?

Yes, and it should be. Both follow the same harmonised management-system structure, so policy governance, risk methodology, internal audit and management review can be shared. An integrated audit programme is cheaper than two parallel ones.
