FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ISO/IEC 42001?
ISO/IEC 42001 is the world’s first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS), defining requirements for governing, managing and continually improving how organizations develop and use AI.
Any organization that develops, deploys or procures AI systems and needs to demonstrate structured governance — particularly in regulated sectors such as financial services, healthcare, insurance and government.
Timelines vary with the number of AI systems in scope and organizational maturity. A focused assessment typically runs four to eight weeks from initial consultation through executive presentation.
Typical evidence includes AI policies, risk registers, model documentation, monitoring logs, incident records, vendor agreements and records of management review — tailored to the systems in scope.
ISO/IEC 27001 addresses information security management, while ISO/IEC 42001 addresses AI-specific governance, risk and lifecycle management. Many organizations implement both standards together, since they share a common management-system structure.
