ISO/IEC 42001

CBIZ Technology helps organizations navigate ISO/IEC 42001, a practical standard for responsible artificial intelligence (AI) use, design, development, and risk management.

The ISO/IEC 42001 Approach

ISO/IEC 42001, commonly known as ISO 42001, is an international standard that defines the requirements for developing, deploying, maintaining, and improving an AI management system.

ISO/IEC certification is common among organizations that use or offer AI-based services or products. CBIZ Technology’s ISO/IEC 42001 certification services help you build AI governance around your business goals, so you can manage risk without slowing responsible AI innovation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a written AI policy enough, or do I need ISO/IEC 42001 certification for AI governance?

ISO/IEC 42001 certification is legally voluntary, but it’s often a smart decision for businesses deploying AI when their AI policies affect customers, workers, vendors, or other stakeholders.

What does certification involve?

You will define the goals of your AI management system. We then work with you to identify risks or gaps in your current AI standards and help you implement controls and policies aligned with ISO/IEC 42001 that close those gaps and address the risks. Our team helps you secure the documentation you need to show vendors and other stakeholders to establish your compliance. 

Can I use the documentation for ISO 27001 certification or NIST AI RMF alignment?

You may be able to reuse some documentation when implementing ISO/IEC 42001 with existing NIST AI RMF alignment or ISO 27001 certification in place. It’s possible to leverage your existing management system infrastructure to accelerate implementation.

What is the difference between ISO/IEC 42001 and ISO 27001 standards?

ISO 27001 focuses on information security, and ISO/IEC 42001 covers AI governance. You can combine both for a strong AI governance framework, using overlapping documentation to implement them more quickly.
