Build AI your organization can stand behind.
Governance frameworks, AI Management Systems, and certification readiness for any organization adopting AI.
Most organizations are adopting AI faster than their governance can keep up.

Teams are using AI tools without guidelines, creating risk your organization cannot see.

Common questions about ISO 42001 planning
ISO/IEC 42001 is the international standard for AI Management Systems (AIMS). It provides a framework for organizations to manage the risks and opportunities of AI responsibly, covering governance, risk assessment, data management, and continuous improvement.
Either approach works. Many organizations use ISO 42001 as a governance framework without pursuing formal certification. Others need certification for regulatory, contractual, or competitive reasons. We help with both paths.
For most small to mid-size organizations, the planning and documentation phase takes 6–12 weeks. Full certification readiness depends on the complexity of your AI systems and how much governance infrastructure already exists.
An AIMS includes your AI governance policies, risk assessment procedures, roles and responsibilities, data management protocols, monitoring and review processes, and documentation. We build all of this with you, tailored to your organization.
Yes. ISO 42001 applies to any organization that uses, develops, or deploys AI — including teams that rely on third-party tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, or AI-powered SaaS platforms. Governance matters regardless of who built the AI.
