ISO 42001 Consulting Services
AI governance is no longer a future concern, it is a present business requirement. ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the world’s first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS), and organisations that develop, provide, or use AI are increasingly expected to demonstrate they are doing so responsibly.
Working with an experienced ISO 42001 consultant helps organisations understand what the standard requires, where their current practices fall short, and how to build an AI Management System that is both certifiable and genuinely effective.
Our ISO 42001 consulting services include:
- ISO 42001 gap analysis to assess your current AI governance maturity
- AIMS design and implementation support
- AI policy, risk assessment, and documentation development
- AI system impact assessment
- Internal audit and certification preparation
- Support through third-party certification with UKAS-accredited bodies including BSI, LRQA, and ISOQAR
- Ongoing advisory and vCISO support for post-certification compliance
This integrated approach ensures your organisation meets ISO 42001 requirements while embedding AI governance within your broader security and compliance framework.
The Foundation of ISO 42001 Compliance.
What Are the ISO 42001 Requirements?
To achieve ISO 42001 certification, organisations must establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS), a structured framework for governing AI responsibly across the organisation.
Key ISO 42001 requirements include:
Defining the scope of the AIMS – determining which AI systems, processes, and organisational functions fall within the management system boundary.
- Understanding organisational context – identifying internal and external issues that affect how AI is developed, used, or provided, including regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations.
- Conducting an AI risk assessment – evaluating the risks and opportunities associated with the organisation’s AI systems, including ethical, operational, and reputational considerations.
- Completing an AI system impact assessment – assessing the potential consequences of AI systems on individuals, groups, and wider society, using the controls framework set out in Annex A of the standard.
- Implementing appropriate AI controls – selecting and applying controls from Annex A to address identified risks, and producing a Statement of Applicability.
- Establishing AI policies and documented information – creating clear documentation that defines objectives, responsibilities, and processes for governing AI within the organisation.
- Conducting internal audits and management reviews – regularly reviewing the effectiveness of the AIMS and demonstrating continual improvement.
Ongoing AI Governance Support
ISO 42001 Compliance Beyond Certification
Achieving ISO 42001 certification is a significant step, but maintaining an effective AIMS as your AI systems, regulatory environment, and business change is where the real work begins.
OmniCyber provides ongoing ISO 42001 compliance support to help organisations:
- Maintain and review the AIMS as AI systems and processes evolve
- Update policies, documentation, and risk assessments in response to change
- Monitor AI risks and governance controls through regular reviews
- Prepare for surveillance and recertification audits
- Integrate AI governance with existing frameworks such as ISO 27001 and GDPR
What is ISO 42001?
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the world’s first international standard for managing artificial intelligence. Published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), it provides a structured framework for organisations to govern AI responsibly – whether they are developing AI systems, deploying them, or using AI-powered products and services.
Implementing ISO 42001 helps organisations:
- Identify and manage risks arising from the use or development of AI
- Demonstrate ethical, transparent, and accountable AI practices
- Build trust with customers, partners, and regulators
- Align with emerging AI regulations, including the EU AI Act
- Strengthen AI governance within an existing security and compliance framework
At its core, ISO 42001 centres on the Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS): a set of interrelated policies, processes, and controls designed to manage AI risks and opportunities in a consistent, auditable way.
ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act
For organisations with exposure to European markets, the EU AI Act introduces binding obligations for the development and deployment of AI, particularly for systems classified as high-risk. ISO 42001 is widely recognised as a practical route to demonstrating compliance readiness, with significant overlap between the standard’s requirements and those of the EU AI Act.
Organisations that implement ISO 42001 are better positioned to meet EU AI Act obligations around:
- Risk management
- Transparency
- Human oversight
- Documentation
OmniCyber’s consultants help organisations understand where ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act intersect, and how to structure an AIMS that addresses both.
ISO 42001 and ISO 27001: Stronger Together
ISO 42001 follows the same Plan-Do-Check-Act methodology as ISO 27001 and other management system standards, making it well-suited to integration with an existing Information Security Management System.
For organisations already certified to ISO 27001, implementing ISO 42001 as an extension rather than a standalone system means you can:
- Avoid duplicating policies, documentation, and risk assessment processes
- Manage information security and AI governance within a single, coherent framework
- Reduce the operational burden of maintaining two separate management systems
OmniCyber’s expertise across both standards means we can advise on integration from the outset, building an approach that is efficient rather than building a second system from scratch.
