# ISO 42001 — Build an AI system you can certify.

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the international standard for AI management systems (AIMS). It gives organisations a structured, certifiable framework for governing AI responsibly.

## What ISO 42001 covers

- Scope and context of AI use in your organisation
- AI policy and objectives
- Risk assessment and controls for AI systems
- Roles, responsibilities, and accountability
- Documentation, monitoring, and management review
- Internal audit and continual improvement

## Why certify?

Certification to ISO 42001 demonstrates to customers, regulators, and partners that your organisation governs AI responsibly. It also works alongside the EU AI Act — many of the controls required by the Act map directly to ISO 42001.

## The workshop track

Five half-day workshops: introduction to the standard, building your AIMS, roles/risks/controls, documentation and evidence, and getting audit-ready. Take one or the full path to certification. Max 12 per session. Tailored to your organisation's size and sector.
