Clause-by-Clause Workflows
Each ISO 42001 clause has its operational workflow built into the platform.
Annex A Controls
Operational controls catalogue mapped to your AI systems, monitored continuously.
Continuous Evidence
Audit evidence captured as the AIMS operates - not reconstructed for certification.
Cross-Framework Reuse
ISO 42001 evidence satisfies portions of EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF requirements.
Internal Audit Ready
Clause 9.2 internal audit workflows aligned to the standard's cadence requirements.
Certification Path
Pre-audit readiness assessment + evidence package ready for the certifying body.
ISO 42001 implementation clause by clause - audit evidence captured continuously, not reconstructed.
ISO 42001 clause by clause - what your AIMS actually has to do
ISO 42001 is structured around the standard ISO management-system template (clauses 4-10) plus Annex A operational controls. The work falls into roughly six operational areas:
Clause 4.3 - Scope. Define the boundaries of the AI management system: which AI systems, which business units, which lifecycle stages. Most programmes underscope (only customer-facing AI) and have to expand later when auditors press on internal AI use.
Clause 6.1.3 - Risk treatment. AI-specific risk assessment + treatment plans, with documented decisions about which risks to mitigate, accept, transfer, or avoid. Closely paired with clause 6.1.2 risk assessment and Annex A.5 controls.
Clause 7 - Support (resources, competence, awareness, communication, documented information). The operational backbone - who's responsible, what they're trained on, how AI-related communications flow, how documentation is controlled.
Clause 8.3 - Operational planning and control. How AI development, deployment, and monitoring actually run - change control, configuration management, versioning, deployment gates.
Clause 9 - Performance evaluation (monitoring, internal audit, management review). Continuous monitoring of AI system performance against AIMS objectives, internal audits on a defined cadence, management reviews that close the loop.
Annex A - Operational controls catalogue. The granular control set - A.5 risk management, A.6 risk treatment, A.7 impact assessment, A.8 third-party use, A.9 data quality, others. The controls map to specific operational practices.
Standard | Scope | Audit type | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
ISO 42001 | AI management system (AIMS) | Certifiable | Published 2023; live for certifications |
ISO 27001 | Information security management | Certifiable | Mature; widely held |
ISO 23894 | AI risk management framework | Guidance (not certifiable) | Published 2023; complementary to 42001 |
EU AI Act | Regulatory compliance for AI in EU | Conformity assessment (high-risk) | In phased force |
NIST AI RMF | Voluntary AI risk management | Voluntary self-assessment | Published 2023; updated profiles |

What's the difference between ISO 42001 and ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is the information security management system standard. ISO 42001 is the AI management system standard, covering governance and operational controls for AI specifically. The two are complementary, and an AI-using enterprise typically needs both rather than one or the other.
Is ISO 42001 mandatory?
How long does ISO 42001 certification typically take?
How do Annex A controls map to operational workflows?
Can the same evidence satisfy EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF?
