A Comprehensive ISO/IEC 42001 AI Management System
Operationalising the world's first AI management system standard
This ISO/IEC 42001 platform helps organisations operationalise the world's first AI Management System standard with confidence, traceability, and operational readiness.
As AI adoption accelerates across industries and jurisdictions, organisations are under increasing pressure to demonstrate responsible AI, effective risk management, and clear accountability. ISO/IEC 42001:2023 provides the authoritative international framework. The challenge has been turning those requirements into a scalable, day-to-day management system. This platform is designed to close that gap.
A complete system for operationalising ISO/IEC 42001
The platform uses a hub-and-spoke architecture that combines strategic oversight with operational depth:
Central AIMS Hub - A dedicated evidence engine organised into five PDCA-aligned domains: Context & Leadership, Planning, Operation, Support, and Evaluation & Improvement. Task assignment, control, and evidence aggregation sit in a single management view, with real-time completeness scoring and readiness dashboards.
Twelve operational spoke registers - Specialised workflows for AI Risk and the Statement of Applicability, Change Management, Supplier Assurance, Documented Information and Competence, Design and Development, Data Management, Performance Monitoring, Internal Audit, Management Review, and Continual Improvement and CAPA. Each spoke syncs structured evidence upward to the hub automatically.
AI system inventory spine - Records across the platform are tied to a unique AI system identity (System ID, Version, and Intended Purpose), supporting auditability and alignment with international regulatory expectations.
Key capabilities
- Automated AI management processes
- Management gates and phase-controlled progression aligned with PDCA
- Dual-track support for ISO/IEC 42001 certification and regulatory quality management requirements from a single data foundation
- Full traceability from operational records back to individual AI systems
- Cryptographic signing and comprehensive change audit trails
The platform implements the requirements of ISO/IEC 42001:2023 clauses 4-10 and Annex A controls, while providing practical workflows organisations can adopt immediately. It is particularly valuable for organisations preparing for certification, managing higher-risk AI systems, or aligning ISO/IEC 42001 implementation with regional regulatory regimes such as the EU AI Act and other emerging national frameworks.
Leadership perspective
"ISO/IEC 42001 gives organisations the framework, but until now there has been no comprehensive, ready-to-deploy system to make it operational at enterprise scale," said Peter Hill, Founder of the AI Assurance Institute. "Our platform closes that gap. It turns the standard's requirements into structured, auditable processes that drive real accountability and continual improvement."
Availability
The ISO/IEC 42001 AI Management System is now generally available. Organisations can request a demonstration, access implementation resources, or begin a pilot deployment on high-priority AI systems.
