ISO/IEC 42001 is the first international standard for an AI management system (AIMS). It helps organisations govern the use and development of AI responsibly, transparently and in a controlled way. In light of the EU AI Act, such evidence is becoming a decisive factor of trust and competitiveness for many companies.
What the audit covers
The audit examines how you govern AI across its entire lifecycle: roles and responsibilities, AI-specific risk and impact assessments, data and model governance, and monitoring in operation. The central question is whether your AI governance is lived — not merely documented.
A bridge to the EU AI Act
ISO 42001 provides the organisational structure with which many EU AI Act requirements can be met systematically — from risk classification and transparency to human oversight. Regulatory pressure thus becomes a robust management system.
Areas we focus on
- AI governance, roles and responsibilities
- Risk and impact assessment of AI systems
- Data, model and lifecycle governance
- Transparency, human oversight and documentation
- Alignment with the requirements of the EU AI Act
- Integration into an existing ISMS to ISO 27001
