Our experience allows us to know and understand how they work.

What is the Artificial Intelligence Management System (ISO 42001)?

It is the world’s first certifiable international standard designed to establish, implement, maintain, and improve an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) within a company. Its objective is to structure corporate governance and ethics to ensure the responsible, transparent, auditable, and traceable use of technology across the entire organization.

What benefits does it bring to the company ISO 42001?

Implementing the ISO 42001 standard offers key competitive advantages that go beyond the technical management of technology. It enables robust operational control and risk reduction, minimizing technical failures, data model biases, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and potential reputational damage. It provides a clear competitive edge by accelerating AI adoption with full legal safeguards, differentiating the company from competitors, and facilitating the qualification processes required to become a supplier for major corporations. Finally, it strengthens trust and reputation among clients, employees, investors, and regulators by certifying the ethical, transparent, and auditable use of technology.

To whom the law applies

It is intended for any company or entity that interacts with AI within its value chain:

Suppliers (Developers)

Those who design, train, build, or market AI models and systems under their own name or brand.

Importers and Distributors

Those who integrate or place on the EU market AI systems developed in third countries.

Deployment Leads (Users)

Companies or entities that use and implement AI systems in their daily operations (for example, in human resources, customer service, logistics, or finance).

What are the keys to compliance?

Lifecycle management

Comprehensive control of the systems, from model design and training to continuous monitoring in the production environment.

Human oversight (Human-in-the-loop)

Designing workflows to ensure that critical decisions suggested or executed by AI remain under the direct and effective control of qualified personnel at all times.

Mandatory Transparency

Guarantee that algorithmic processes and AI-generated responses/outputs are explainable, traceable, and known to users.

What consulting services are offered to carry it out?

Initial diagnosis of your SGIA

Identification and assessment of the maturity level of the organization’s AI systems against the requirements of the ISO 42001 standard.

Audit and certification

Comprehensive support for the company during the internal and external audit phases to achieve ISO 42001 certification.

Governance and Integration of the SGIA (ISO 42001)

System design and implementation (definition of AI policies, risk analysis, fundamental rights impact assessments, and transparency protocols), with the possibility of integration with other standards such as ISO 27001 or ISO 9001.

Frequently asked questions

How does ISO 42001 differ from the European AI Act?

The AI Act is a mandatory law in the European Union focused on mitigating legal risks and sanctions, whereas ISO 42001 is a certifiable international management standard that establishes the methodological framework for auditing, governing, and certifying the use of AI in any country worldwide.

Can ISO 42001 be integrated with other ISO systems my company already has?

Yes, ISO 42001 shares the High-Level Structure (HLS) of other ISO standards, enabling its alignment and integration with information security (ISO 27001) or quality (ISO 9001) management systems.

Why is ISO 42001 certification relevant for becoming a supplier to large companies?

Large corporations increasingly demand that their suppliers provide assurances regarding data security and the ethics of the algorithms used; holding ISO 42001 certification simplifies commercial vendor approval processes and demonstrates external auditing of AI governance.

Does ISO 42001 apply if my company only implements AI in internal departments such as HR or Finance?

Yes, the regulation applies not only to software developers but also to any entity acting as a “deployer” that uses AI systems in its daily operations to manage risks, ensure zero bias, and maintain human oversight (human-in-the-loop)..
