ISO/IEC 42001
ISO 42001 readiness for your AI Management System
Establish, implement, and continually improve an AI Management System (AIMS) with 12 mapped controls and audit-ready evidence — not a one-off gap assessment.
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the international standard for AI Management Systems (AIMS), specifying requirements for organisations to establish policies, roles, risk treatment, and continual improvement for AI throughout the lifecycle.
Key takeaways
- Certification bodies expect demonstrable control operation — not policy documents alone.
- AgenticAssure maps 12 ISO 42001 controls in the Govern posture matrix with conformity scoring.
- Crosswalk to NIST AI RMF and EU AI Act reduces duplicate audit work.
ISO 42001 vs ISO 27001 for AI teams
ISO 27001 covers information security broadly. ISO 42001 addresses AI-specific risks: model lifecycle, data for training, transparency, and human oversight. Many enterprises pursue both; AgenticAssure maps overlapping controls.
