As artificial intelligence becomes integral to how organisations operate, the need for responsible, transparent, and auditable AI governance grows stronger. ISO 42001:2023 is the first international standard for an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS), enabling organisations to implement robust policies for AI use, risk control, and ethical oversight. SecureITLab assists organisations in adopting ISO 42001:2023 to build structured governance and establish trust in AI-powered systems.
Demonstrating ISO 42001 compliance shows a commitment to ethical and reliable AI—providing a clear differentiator in markets where responsible innovation is increasingly scrutinised.
ISO 42001 provides a framework to identify, assess, and control the specific risks of AI systems, such as bias, model drift, and lack of human oversight.
The standard builds public, regulatory, and internal trust by introducing traceability, governance, and performance monitoring across the AI lifecycle.
ISO 42001 supports the development of an AI Management System covering policies, procedures, roles, controls, and continuous improvement of AI use.
ISO 42001:2023 is a new standard—there is no prior version. It introduces a formal structure for AI governance that organisations must implement from the ground up. Here’s an overview of its key components:
ISO 42001:2023 establishes new requirements tailored to AI governance, such as impact assessment, transparency mechanisms, explainability, and human oversight. These controls are designed to mitigate emerging risks across diverse AI applications.
The standard emphasises AI-specific risk identification and evaluation, including ethical, legal, and technical risks. It requires organisations to assess both intended and unintended impacts of AI systems before and during deployment.
ISO 42001:2023 is built to work alongside existing ISO management standards like ISO 27001 (information security) and ISO 9001 (quality). This supports integrated management system strategies across digital governance domains.
SecureITLab offers expert guidance to help you interpret ISO 42001’s structure, map its controls to your current processes, and design a compliant and auditable AI Management System from the ground up.
