Home / ISO 42001 Certification
Prove your AI is governed responsibly. Get ISO/IEC 42001 certified with Company Certification International — an early mover in AI management system certification, backed by a certification heritage since 1997 — and manage the whole journey with the AI-powered ISOXPERT Compliance360 platform.
ISO/IEC 42001 is the world's first international standard for an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS). It sets out a risk-based framework for developing, deploying and using AI responsibly — covering governance, AI risk and impact assessments, data quality, transparency, human oversight and the full AI system life cycle.
Certification means an independent certification body has audited your AIMS and confirmed it meets the standard. As enterprise buyers add AI-governance questions to procurement and regulators move quickly — from the EU AI Act to sector guidance worldwide — an ISO 42001 certificate is fast becoming the clearest way to prove your AI is trustworthy.
Because the standard is new, early adopters stand out. Company Certification International is an early mover among certification bodies for ISO 42001 — so you get auditors who know the standard deeply, and a certificate that puts you ahead of your market rather than catching up to it.
If you build AI, embed AI in your products, or rely on AI in decisions that affect people, ISO 42001 is how you prove it's under control.
Enterprise buyers now ask how your AI is governed before they sign. An ISO 42001 certificate answers the AI section of every security and procurement questionnaire.
Finance, healthcare and HR platforms using AI in decisions about people can demonstrate responsible-AI governance to clients and regulators alike.
ISO 42001 is new — few competitors hold it. Certifying now makes responsible AI a visible differentiator instead of a future compliance chore.
Define which AI systems your AIMS covers and compare current governance against ISO 42001. Compliance360 generates a clause-mapped gap report automatically.
Create your AI policy, risk and impact assessments, a Statement of Applicability and evidence. AI drafts audit-ready documentation in minutes, not weeks.
Run an internal audit and management review to confirm the system works and close any gaps before the certification body arrives.
CCI reviews your documentation and readiness — confirming your AIMS is designed correctly and ready for the main assessment.
A CCI auditor assesses your AIMS in operation and, on success, recommends your organisation for ISO 42001 certification.
Receive your 3-year certificate, then maintain it with annual surveillance audits — tracked and reminded inside the platform.
Company Certification International has issued certificates across manufacturing, trading and services for over 25 years, worldwide — and brings that rigour to AI governance.
CCI moved early on ISO 42001, so you work with auditors who genuinely understand AI management systems — not a body retrofitting an unfamiliar standard.
Only CCI pairs certification with the AI-powered ISOXPERT platform — an AI company certifying AI governance, so getting certified is far less work.
Compliance360 is our AI-powered GRC platform. It generates clause-mapped ISO 42001 documentation, runs your AI risk and impact assessments and Statement of Applicability, stores audit evidence, and keeps you audit-ready between surveillance visits.
Launch Compliance360 →ISO/IEC 42001 is the world's first international standard for an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS). Certification is independent proof that your organisation develops, deploys or uses AI responsibly — with governance, risk management, impact assessments and controls that meet a recognised global benchmark.
Any organisation that builds AI products, embeds AI in its services, or relies on AI in decisions that affect customers — SaaS and technology firms, financial services, healthcare, HR and recruitment platforms, and suppliers answering enterprise AI-governance questionnaires. It also supports readiness for regulation such as the EU AI Act.
Typically three to six months depending on how many AI systems are in scope and how mature your governance already is. Using a platform like ISOXPERT Compliance360 to generate documentation, risk assessments and impact assessments significantly shortens the preparation phase.
Cost depends on the number of employees, sites and the AI systems in the scope of your AIMS. Company Certification International provides a fixed quote after a short scoping call — request a quote and demo to get an exact figure for your organisation.
