ISO/IEC 42001 (AI Management System) Audit
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the international standard for an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) - governance, risk management, transparency and lifecycle controls for organizations that build, deploy or procure AI. Our ISO 42001-qualified auditors run gap analysis, build your AIMS and prepare you to pass certification.

Overview
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the world's first certifiable management-system standard for AI - the AI-specific analogue to ISO 27001 for information security. It expects organizations that build, deploy or procure AI to govern it deliberately: risk assessment, data provenance, human oversight and lifecycle controls, not just a model card.
Our ISO 42001-qualified auditors run a gap analysis against your current AI governance, help you build the Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS), and prepare your evidence for an accredited certification audit.

FAQ
Frequently asked
How does this relate to ISO 27001?
ISO 42001 shares 27001's management-system structure and can be integrated with an existing ISMS, but adds AI-specific controls for risk, transparency, data provenance and human oversight.
Do you issue the certificate?
Our ISO 42001-qualified auditors prepare your AIMS and run the readiness audit; the certificate itself is issued by an accredited, independent certification body.
