ISO 42001 Implementation

Stand out as a forward-thinking organisation in AI governance

Is your organisation equipped with AI governance that demonstrates maturity in procurement and regulatory reviews?

  • Minimise AI-related risks through a structured AI Management System.

  • Align with legal, ethical, and forward-looking regulatory standards

  • Distinguish yourself as a responsible and credible AI-driven organisation

ISO 42001: Foundation for Trustworthy AI

ISO/IEC 42001 is the first international standard for managing artificial intelligence, setting requirements for governance, risk management, transparency, and accountability. Just as ISO/IEC 27001 became the benchmark for information security, ISO 42001 is expected to serve the same role for AI governance. Early adoption strengthens an organisation’s position in procurement and regulatory assessments, while over time certification will likely become an expected baseline. For organisations already certified under ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 42001 can be integrated as an extension of the existing management system, ensuring continuity while adding AI-specific controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Any organisation that builds, integrates, or relies on AI, especially in regulated or high-risk sectors, can benefit from certification. It supports better governance and sends a strong trust signal to partners and regulators

  • No. The standard applies to all organisations using AI in decision-making, automation, analytics, or product development,  including those using external or third-party AI tools

  • No. Certification is performed by accredited third-party bodies. We guide and prepare you through the full process, ensuring you are fully audit-ready.

  • Yes. If your organisation already has ISO 27001, ISO 42001 can be implemented as an extension. The two standards are structurally aligned, making it easier to build your AI governance framework on top of your existing information security management system

  • Preparation can begin at any stage of AI adoption, but early action reduces remediation costs and ensures that governance is embedded before regulatory or market pressure makes certification unavoidable.
