Comprehensive ISO/IEC 42001 AI Management System
Hub, spoke plugins, and AI system inventory — implementing ISO/IEC 42001:2023 clauses 4–10 and Annex A with certification-ready evidence.
Overview
This platform turns ISO/IEC 42001 into a living management system: structured records, PDCA-gated workflows, spoke registers for operational clauses, and automatic evidence roll-up to a central AIMS hub.
It is a modular plugin suite designed for organisations preparing for certification, governing high-impact AI systems, or aligning AIMS operation with the EU AI Act and related harmonised standards — from one data foundation.
Architecture: hub, spokes, and inventory spine
- AIMS Hub — PDCA-aligned management domains with phase gates, clause guidance, Annex A evidence tabs, completeness scoring, and certification-readiness views. Phases advance only when prior work meets completeness thresholds.
- Operational spoke plugins — clause-specific registers (context, risk, operation, data, design, support, audit, management review, CAPA, suppliers, change, controls) that sync structured evidence upward to the hub.
- AI System Inventory spine — every record stays linked to system ID, version, and intended purpose so audits can follow a control back to a real system.
- Navigation Hub and KPI Dashboard — suite tiles and top-management KPIs for audits, CAPA, competence, change latency, strategic goals, and management review.
What the suite covers
Leadership, context and planning
- Context (Clause 4) — 4.1 context, 4.2 interested parties, and 4.3 scope.
- Accountability — role catalogue, clause assignments, lifecycle RACI, and decision authority.
- Policy, objectives, and regulatory register — controlled AI policy set; 6.2 objectives and KRIs; obligations such as GDPR, EU AI Act, NIS2, DORA, and CRA.
Risk, operation, data and lifecycle
- AI risk and controls — risk management file and control system with system-level traceability (aligned with prEN 18228 practice).
- Clause 8 operation — operational planning, risk treatment, and impact-assessment registers.
- Design, data, and human oversight — Annex A.6 / ISO/IEC 5338 lifecycle, Annex A.7 / ISO/IEC 5259 data quality, and oversight measures aligned with AI Act Article 14 themes.
- Supplier control — due diligence, acceptance, and monitoring for external providers and GPAI/LLM vendors.
Evaluation and improvement
- Internal audit (Clause 9.2) — programme, impartiality, multi-stage engagement, CAPA spawn.
- Management review (Clause 9.3) — dedicated register with a structured sub-process workflow.
- CAPA and continual improvement (Clause 10) — nonconformity and improvement registers with multi-step workflows.
- Performance monitoring (Clause 9.1) — measurement results, KRIs, optional analyzer bridge.
Key platform capabilities
- PDCA phase gates and management-domain completeness on the AIMS hub
- Clause- and Annex A–aligned spoke workflows with automatic hub evidence sync
- Statement of Applicability / Annex A catalogue support
- Integrity-oriented evidence (versioning, approval, Merkle/signing options where configured)
- Dual use: ISO/IEC 42001 certification and EU AI Act QMS themes from one data foundation
Who it is for
- Organisations implementing or certifying an ISO/IEC 42001 AIMS
- Providers and deployers needing system-level evidence for high-impact AI
- GRC teams that want operational registers, not only policy manuals
