Is This The Year You Lead In AI Governance?

ISO/IEC 42001 is the world’s first international standard for managing the safe, ethical, and effective use of artificial intelligence. The standard empowers organizations to identify and manage AI-related risks, foster transparency, and drive continuous improvement through a robust AI Management System (AIMS).

Whether you’re developing AI technologies or deploying third-party AI solutions, ISO/IEC 42001 helps you align innovation with responsibility, earning stakeholder trust and preparing you for emerging regulatory requirements.

Our team supports you from readiness through certification with a streamlined, responsive process designed to reduce complexity and deliver clarity at every step. With ISO/IEC 42001, you’re not checking a box—you’re building a foundation of trustworthy AI management and governance.
