ISO/IEC 42001 is the first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS). It gives organizations a structured framework to govern AI risk, ethics, transparency, and accountability across the AI lifecycle. As generative AI adoption accelerates, ISO 42001 certification helps organizations demonstrate responsible AI governance to regulators, customers, and partners.

ISO/IEC 27001 governs an organization's Information Security Management System (ISMS), protecting data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. ISO/IEC 42001 governs an organization's Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS), addressing AI-specific risks such as bias, transparency, and lifecycle governance. Many organizations implement both standards together to build a complete governance foundation for the AI era.

Yes.
