ISO/IEC 42001 is the international management-system standard for artificial intelligence. It specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS).
ISO/IEC 42001 is the world's first certifiable management-system standard for artificial intelligence. It defines an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) — a structured way to govern how AI is developed, deployed, and overseen — using the same high-level structure as ISO 27001. It is becoming the reference point for organizations that want to demonstrate responsible, well-governed AI to customers and regulators.
As a management-system standard it follows the familiar certification path of a documentation and implementation audit plus ongoing surveillance. Effort is reduced significantly when an ISO 27001 ISMS is already in place.

How the platform supports your ISO/IEC 42001 program — from first scope to ongoing monitoring.
Establish AI objectives, roles, and oversight that anchor the AIMS.
Maintain an AI risk register and document AI system impact assessments.
Connect responsible-AI controls to tests and evidence, reusing ISO 27001 overlap.
Track AI lifecycle and supplier governance so the AIMS is demonstrably running at audit time.
Public, high-level control or requirement areas — for orientation, not a complete control list.
ISO/IEC 42001 shares controls with frameworks you may already run. A passing test can satisfy requirements in more than one place — so adding the next framework means reusing work, not repeating it.
It shares the same management-system structure, so an existing ISMS gives you a strong head start and substantial reusable evidence.
No. ISO 42001 is a voluntary, certifiable standard; the EU AI Act is binding regulation. They complement each other and overlap on governance and risk practices.
A documented evaluation of the potential consequences of an AI system on individuals and groups, required as part of the AIMS.
