When to start

Turn a certification goal into an actionable plan.

For organizations developing, providing, or using AI that want a structured route toward independent assurance.

We help translate your certification ambition into an agreed scope, implementation priorities, and evidence of an operating management system. Engagements can start with a readiness assessment or extend through implementation and audit support.

ISO/IEC 42001 addresses an organization’s AI management system within its defined scope. It does not certify an individual AI model or guarantee that every AI output is safe.

The engagement

From readiness to sustained operation.

Advisory, hands-on delivery, or ongoing fractional support. Scope, responsibilities, and deliverables are agreed individually.

01

Scope & assess

Agree the AI activities and organizational boundaries in scope. Assess current practices and identify gaps.

  • Scoping workshops
  • Readiness assessment
  • Prioritized implementation plan
02

Build & operate

Establish the AI management system and support your team in putting it into practice.

  • Policies, responsibilities, and objectives
  • AI risk and impact assessment support
  • Control implementation and evidence
03

Review & prepare

Support internal audit planning with appropriate objectivity, management review, and corrective actions before the external audit.

  • Internal audit readiness
  • Management review materials
  • Corrective action tracking
04

Support & improve

Help your team navigate the independent audit and maintain the management system after the engagement.

  • Certification body selection support
  • Audit preparation and response support
  • Ongoing monitoring and improvement
Connected tracks

Governance that lasts beyond the audit.
