    5 Steps to Achieve IS0 42001 Certification

    This step-by-step pathway can ensure that your organisation achieves and maintains ISO 42001 certification, which will demonstrate a strong commitment to ethical and transparent AI practices.

    We help you map out all systems where AI will play a role and assess potential compliance gaps with ISO 42001, focusing on critical factors such as data privacy, transparency, fairness, and explainability​.

    When risks are identified, their potential consequences are analysed. The assessment then delivers precise recommendations for each risk, including actions such as dataset balancing, model parameter adjustments, or refinement of data collection methods.

    Collect and organise all compliance documentation in one place, including reports on each AI system’s compliance status, risk mitigation actions, and ongoing monitoring results, simplifying your external audit process and speeding up certification.

    Once your AI management system and related processes are fully compliant, engage an accredited certification body to conduct the formal audit. Collaborating with our vetted certification partners, who are already familiar with Traze’s platform, can further accelerate the certification process.

    Continuously monitor your AI systems for any deviations from compliance, especially when making updates to algorithms or datasets. With Traze you can maintain a detailed log of compliance activities and corrective actions to ensure ISO 42001 adherence, allowing for re-certification as needed​.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    ISO/IEC 42001 is the first international standard designed to set requirements for creating, implementing, maintaining, and continuously improving an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) within organizations.

    An AIMS includes policies, objectives, and processes that help an organization achieve its AI-related goals. Policies outline the intentions and direction for AI usage, objectives specify  targeted outcomes, and processes are interconnected activities that transform inputs to outputs. This system helps organizations manage their AI operations effectively and in compliance with ISO 42001.

    Adopting ISO/IEC 42001 enhances your brand reputation, demonstrates responsible AI practices, facilitates compliance with regulations like the EU AI Act., and manages risks effectively.

    ISO 42001 is designed for any organization involved with AI systems—whether they’re developing, providing, or using them—regardless of size or sector. 

    To obtain ISO/IEC 42001 certification, organizations must implement an AI Management System (AIMS), document ethical AI policies, conduct risk and impact assessments, and undergo an audit by a certified body, among other requirements.

    ISO/IEC 42001 complements other standards like ISO 27001 (Information Security), ISO 9001 (Quality Management),  and ISO 27701 (Privacy Management).  Unlike these other standards, ISO 42001 is designed to address the unique challenges of AI, such as algorithmic transparency, ethical considerations, and the mitigation of biases in AI models. Together, these standards create a secure and reliable framework for AI-driven business processes, managing quality, data security, and privacy risks​.

    ISO/IEC 42001 supports compliance with regulations like the EU AI Act by providing a structured framework for managing AI risks and ensuring transparency. Implementing it helps organizations avoid costly fines, with EU AI Act penalties reaching up to €35 million or 7% of global revenue.

    The ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification process typically takes 6 to 18 months, depending on the organization’s size, business maturity, existing controls and documentation,  the level of resources and support from management and personnel.
