Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries—from finance and healthcare to retail and government. However, as AI systems become increasingly integrated into business operations, so do the risks related to ethics, bias, data privacy, security, and accountability.
Recognizing the urgent need for governance and standardization in AI deployment, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) introduced the ISO 42001 AI Management System Standard—a global framework for managing AI responsibly and transparently.
The ISO/IEC 42001:2023 standard enables organizations to design, implement, maintain, and continually improve an AI Management System (AIMS). It ensures AI technologies are deployed safely, ethically, and in compliance with emerging regulations such as the EU AI Act, GDPR, and other global AI governance frameworks.
If you’re an AI developer, solution provider, or an enterprise leveraging AI tools, achieving ISO 42001 certification proves your commitment to trustworthy and secure AI practices.

What is ISO 42001?
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the first global standard specifically developed to manage the governance and lifecycle of artificial intelligence systems. It defines the requirements for establishing an AI Management System (AIMS).
Who should get ISO 42001 certification?
Any organization that develops, uses, or integrates AI into its operations—such as tech firms, financial institutions, healthcare providers, and public sector entities—can benefit from ISO 42001 certification to enhance trust, reduce risks, and meet legal obligations.
What is the ISO 42001 certification cost?
Costs vary based on company size, AI complexity, readiness, and selected certification body. We offer a readiness assessment to give you a precise estimate and timeline.
How does ISO 42001 differ from ISO 27001?
While ISO 27001 focuses on information security, ISO 42001 is designed to govern AI systems specifically, addressing risks like bias, lack of transparency, and ethical concerns.
Why is ISO/IEC 42001:2023 important now?
With rapid AI adoption and increasing regulation (e.g., EU AI Act), organizations must demonstrate responsible AI governance. ISO/IEC 42001 AI Management System Standard 2024 offers a structured, internationally recognized way to achieve that.
