Sensiba LLP, a Top 75 U.S.-based accounting and business consulting firm, has issued its first certification of compliance with ISO/IEC 42001, the international standard that provides organizations with guidelines for developing, implementing, and maintaining Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS).

The ISO/IEC 42001 standard offers a comprehensive framework to manage risks and opportunities throughout the AI system lifecycle, while ensuring responsible development and deployment of AI solutions.

Key aspects of ISO/IEC 42001 certification include AI-related risk and opportunity management, fairness, transparency, security, and reliability, as well as adaptability to technological advances and alignment with sustainable goals.

“With AI fully in the business mainstream, ISO/IEC 42001 provides essential guidance for responsible AI use, risk management, and governance,” says Scott Dritz, CISSP, ISO practice leader at Sensiba. “ISO/IEC 42001 certification also offers powerful reassurance to customers that compliant organizations are committed to effective data and privacy protection.”

Sensiba granted ISO/IEC 42001 certification to Cresta, which provides a contact center AI platform for human and virtual agents.

“As AI ethics increasingly becomes a focus for our customers—especially with IT playing a critical role in the purchasing process—this certification is a proactive way for us to underscore our security differentiation,” says Robert Kugler, Head of Security, IT, and Compliance at Cresta.

“Sensiba’s guidance helped us streamline compliance efforts and made the entire process seamless. Achieving this certification strengthens our risk management practices and deepens the trust we’ve built with our customers.”

Sensiba also provides certification audits for additional standards including ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management System, ISO/IEC 27701 Privacy Information Management System, ISO/IEC 27017 Cloud Services, and ISO/IEC 27018 Personally Identifiable Information.

Sensiba LLP, a Top 75 U.S. accounting and advisory firm, and leader in cybersecurity and compliance services, announced today the launch of its new Penetration Testing service. With this addition, Sensiba provides and end-to-end security framework to help organizations identify vulnerabilities, safeguard their operations, and strengthen their cyber resilience.

This offering expands and complements the firm’s robust portfolio, which already includes ISO 27001, SOC, HIPAA, and NIST, and is mandated for others such as FedRAMP, HITRUST, PCI.

Penetration Testing will allow clients to proactively identify vulnerabilities within their systems, networks, and applications before bad actors can exploit them. By simulating real-world attack scenarios, Sensiba will offer deep insights into potential threats and deliver actionable recommendations to address security gaps. 

This strategic launch underscores Sensiba’s ongoing commitment to supporting CTOs and IT leaders, with highly adaptable, scalable, and comprehensive solutions to meet the complex security needs of today’s businesses.

“With the addition of penetration testing to our cybersecurity service portfolio, we’re ensuring our clients can stay one step ahead of potential vulnerabilities and risks. In addition, this offering allows our current clients and prospects to consolidate their security needs with Sensiba, streamlining the process for compliance audits such as SOC, ISO, and HIPAA,” says Brian Beal, Risk Assurance Services Partner. “By offering this service, we’re helping clients strengthen their security posture while simplifying risk management and improving overall efficiency.”

Sensiba LLP announced today it has been accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) to certify organizations for the ISO/IEC 27001 and 27701 standards.

Sensiba received ANAB accreditation following an extensive examination of its ISO certification policies, procedures, and implementation performance. After reviewing the audit process and related documentation, ANAB was satisfied Sensiba met the rigorous qualifications for accreditation.

“Securing this accreditation is a significant milestone for us, and I’m immensely proud of our team’s accomplishment,” says Risk Assurance Services Audit Partner Brian Beal. “We’re excited to offer this enhanced level of service to our clients, reinforcing our commitment to collaborating with our clients to meet their evolving risk assurance needs.”

ISO 27001 provides a cost-effective cybersecurity framework to help organizations, including those delivering solutions on the cloud, understand their security risks and the steps they can take to mitigate them. ISO/IEC 27701 is a privacy extension to ISO/IEC 27001 that maps closely with GDPR.

For both standards, an audit resulting in a determination by an accredited firm that the organization under review complies with the standards’ requirements represents third-party validation the organization is following its stated security policies.

ISO 27001 certification can be a valuable achievement for organizations that want to highlight their commitment to managing information security and privacy.

“Being able to award accredited certifications demonstrates a level of trust in our processes to ensure we are meeting the standards of both ANAB and the International Accreditation Forum,” says Sensiba’s ISO Practice Leader Scott Dritz. “We’re proud to achieve this milestone on behalf of our clients.”

Sensiba also provides audits for the ISO/IEC 27017 (cloud provider information security controls) and 27018 (privacy in cloud services) standards.
