ISO 42001 Certification — AI Management System

ISO 42001 is the world's first international standard for AI management systems. Norivo covers all 39 controls across 4 annexes, with automatic mapping to ISO 27001 for organisations already certified.

What is ISO 42001?

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an AI management system (AIMS) within organisations. It is designed for organisations providing or using AI-based products or services.

The standard follows the familiar ISO management system structure (harmonised with ISO 27001), making it easier for organisations already certified to ISO 27001 to achieve certification. Norivo automatically maps the 60-70% overlap between the two standards.

Key areas include AI policy, risk assessment, AI system lifecycle management, data management, transparency, human oversight, and continual improvement. Certification demonstrates to customers, regulators, and partners that your organisation manages AI responsibly.

60-70% overlap with ISO 27001 — significantly faster certification if you're already certified.
