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.
Step 1 Risk Assessment
Risk Assessment
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.
Step 2 Impact Asessment and Mitigation Strategies
Impact Asessment and Mitigation Strategies
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.
Step 3 Documentation and External Audit Readiness
Documentation and External Audit Readiness
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.
Step 4 ISO/IEC 42001 Certification
ISO/IEC 42001 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.
Step 5 Ongoing Monitoring and Recertification Audit
Ongoing Monitoring and Recertification Audit
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.
