THE FOUNDATION

ISO/IEC 42001:
The global standard for AI management systems

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the world’s first international standard specifically designed for organizations that develop, provide, or use AI systems.

It specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS).

Clauses 4–10 + Annex A
Aligned with EU AI Act

Core outcomes of an ISO 42001 AIMS

  • Systematic identification and treatment of AI risks and impacts
  • Clear accountability, roles, and top management oversight
  • Documented processes across the full AI system lifecycle
  • Robust performance evaluation and continual improvement
  • Audit-ready evidence and conformity demonstration
WHAT THE AIMS DELIVERS

AI management capabilities
grounded in the standard

Practical, auditable controls and processes that turn the requirements of ISO 42001 into day-to-day operational reality.

Governance & Leadership

Establish organizational context, define scope, secure top-management commitment, and assign clear accountability for AI systems across the enterprise.

Risk & Impact Management

Systematic identification, assessment, and treatment of AI risks and impacts, including Statement of Applicability and ongoing monitoring of risk treatment effectiveness.

AI System Lifecycle Controls

Operational planning and control, design and development processes, risk treatment, impact assessment, and runtime operational controls across the full AI lifecycle.

Data, Knowledge & Support

Management of data for AI systems, competence and training, documented information control, and assurance of third-party relationships and suppliers.

Performance Evaluation

Monitoring, measurement, analysis, internal audit, and management review processes that provide objective insight into the effectiveness of the AIMS.

Continual Improvement

Identification and implementation of improvement opportunities, nonconformity management, corrective action, and feedback mechanisms that drive the AIMS forward.

HOW IT WORKS

The ISO/IEC 42001 management system is activated for immediate use.

The platform centers on a living AI Management System and decision records for AI system management in your organization. This becomes the authoritative source of truth for accountability, evidence, and conformity assessment.

01
Capture the context and objectives
Determine internal and external issues, interested parties, scope, and AI policy. Align AI objectives with organizational strategy. Capture the information.
02
Plan risks, impacts and changes
Conduct AI risk assessment and treatment, impact assessments (https://iso42005.online), and plan for changes while maintaining a clear Statement of Applicability.
03
Operate with control across the lifecycle
Implement operational planning, design & development controls, data management practices, supplier oversight, and documented information management.
04
Evaluate performance and improve
Monitor, audit, conduct management reviews, and drive continual improvement with closed-loop feedback into planning and risk processes.
05
Self-certify conformity with the standard
Produce the evidence pack and certify conformity.

Built for real-world AI management

100%
Clause coverage

Comprehensive support for all normative requirements of ISO/IEC 42001 across context, leadership, planning, operation, support, and improvement.

Per-system
Traceability

Every activity, risk decision, control, and evidence item is directly linked to a specific AI system identity, enabling precise accountability and reporting.

Audit-ready
Evidence

Structured, versioned, and signed evidence packages that demonstrate conformity and support both internal and external assessment activities.

Ready for regulatory expectations

An ISO 42001 AIMS provides a structured foundation that helps organizations meet the requirements of emerging AI regulations and sector-specific obligations.

EU AI Act — High-risk system QMS obligations (Art 17+), fundamental rights impact, technical documentation, and post-market monitoring.
Sector & cross-cutting — Supports alignment with GDPR, CRA, DORA, NIS2, and other frameworks through documented processes and evidence.
ANNEX A CONTROLS

The AIMS implements controls across the key domains defined in the standard:

AI policy & governance
Internal organization
Resources & competence
AI system lifecycle
Data for AI systems
Third-party relationships
Transparency & use
Performance & improvement

For organizations that build, deploy or use AI

AI Providers & Developers

Establish and demonstrate a robust management system for high-risk and general-purpose AI systems throughout design, development, and deployment.

Deployers & Operators

Maintain accountability, conduct impact assessments, ensure human oversight, and manage post-market performance of AI systems in production.

Regulated Industries

Finance, healthcare, public sector, critical infrastructure and any organization that must demonstrate responsible AI practices to regulators, customers, and boards.

Get started immediately with a fully operational AI management system!

There is no delay. On activation, the full ISO/IEC 42001 AI Management System delivers the structure, evidence, and operational discipline required by the standard.

A complete AI Management System (AIMS) platform built according to the ISO/IEC 42001 standard.
