ISO 42001

AI governance, properly in order

ISO 42001 shows that your organisation develops, deploys or provides AI responsibly, with clear roles and oversight.

Why AI calls for oversight

Customers and partners are increasingly asking how an organisation manages the risks of AI.

Without a management system, AI use often stays fragmented, with no central overview of what’s deployed where.

  • AI applications are deployed without central oversight

  • A customer or partner asks about your AI governance

  • The EU AI Act calls for demonstrable governance around AI

The risk of AI without oversight

Without oversight, an AI application can fall under a high-risk category of the AI Act unnoticed, with the obligations that come with it.

Reputational damage from careless AI use can be just as serious as a data breach.

What the standard asks of your AI governance

ISO 42001 requires an AI policy, a risk assessment per AI application, and oversight across the whole lifecycle, from development to decommissioning.

  • An AI policy, approved by management

  • A risk assessment and impact assessment per AI application

  • Assigned roles and responsibilities for AI

  • Control over data, models and human oversight

  • Internal audits and management review

ISO 42001 and the AI Act together

ISO 42001 fits well alongside the EU AI Act: Vedeum helps set up both together, not as two separate projects.
