ISO 42001 (AI Management)

ISO 42001 Consultant & Trainer in Geneva

ISO 42001, published in late 2023, is the first international standard dedicated to AI management. For Swiss organisations that want to structure their AI approach in a certifiable, demonstrable way, it is the definitive framework.

Why ISO 42001 is the standard for AI management

As AI becomes pervasive, organisations need a structured approach to managing it: from risk assessment to ethical considerations, from documentation to continuous improvement. ISO 42001 provides exactly this — a management system standard specifically designed for AI.

I train your teams on the full ISO 42001 framework: understanding the standard's structure (modelled on ISO's Annex SL), scoping your AI Management System (AIMS), conducting AI risk and impact assessments, implementing controls and preparing for certification.

The training also covers the strategic intersection with the AI Act — ISO 42001 is widely expected to become a key tool for demonstrating AI Act compliance, making early adoption a significant competitive advantage.

ISO 42001 gives you a certifiable answer to the question every regulator, client and board is asking: how do you manage AI?

Frequently asked questions

You may be wondering…

Is ISO 42001 already certifiable?
Yes — certification bodies are accredited and audits are being conducted. Early certification gives a strong market signal.
Do I need ISO 27001 first?
Not strictly required, but strongly recommended. ISO 42001 shares the Annex SL structure and integrates naturally.
How does it relate to the AI Act?
ISO 42001 is expected to become a harmonised standard under the AI Act, making it a key compliance tool.
Who should lead the AIMS?
Typically the AI/data governance function, supported by quality, compliance and IT. We help you define the right ownership.
