Overview: ISO 42001

It is an international standard that specifies requirements and provides guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) within the context of an organization. ISO 42001: 2023 is applicable to any organization, regardless of size, type, or nature, that provides or uses products or services utilizing AI systems. It is the world’s first AI management system standard providing valuable guidance for this rapidly changing field of technology.

Methodology

The implementation of an AI Management System (AIMS) aligned with ISO 42001 follows a structured, phased process. It starts with a detailed gap assessment to identify areas of non-compliance, followed by an AI-specific risk assessment to evaluate ethical, technical, and operational risks. Based on these findings, tailored policies and documentation are developed in line with the organization’s context and AI use cases. This is followed by structured implementation, training, and internal audits, ensuring your organization is fully prepared for certification and long-term compliance.

Our Approach

Gap Assessment is the initial phase of our engagement. It helps determine the organization’s current maturity level and alignment with ISO 42001 requirements. We evaluate existing AI governance structures, processes, and controls to identify deficiencies. The output is a detailed report outlining key gaps, prioritized recommendations, and a proposed roadmap for full AIMS implementation.

Gap Assessment

Risk Assessment

An AI-specific risk assessment is conducted to identify and categorize the various technical, ethical, legal, and societal risks associated with the use of AI. This helps in designing appropriate controls and ensuring the responsible use of AI.

Policy Drafting

Based on the gap and risk assessments, we draft core AIMS policies tailored to the organization’s context. These include the AI Governance Policy, Responsible AI Policy, and others required under ISO 42001.

Implementation

Once the documentation and risk controls are defined, we support the client in implementing the AIMS across relevant functions. This includes consultation for establishing governance roles, integrating responsible AI practices into system development and deployment, deploying monitoring tools, and aligning operations with defined policies.

Training

We provide training sessions to build awareness and ensure employees understand their roles in building internal capability and awareness around responsible and compliant AI practices.

Internal Audit

An internal audit is conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and readiness of the AIMS. Findings are addressed to ensure conformity ahead of the external audit. A detailed audit report is shared with management, along with recommendations and corrective action plans. This step is critical to ensure continuous improvement and compliance before undergoing a formal certification audit.

Certification

Finally, we assist with the ISO 42001 certification process. This includes preparing the organization for external audits, supporting during Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits, and addressing any findings raised by the certification body. Our goal is to ensure a smooth path to certification and a sustainable, trustworthy AI governance framework.
