What Is a ISO 42001?

ISO 42001 is the international standard for AI Management Systems (AIMS). Published in 2023, it’s the first certification framework built specifically for organizations that develop, provide, or use AI systems.

Where SOC 2 covers data security and ISO 27001 covers information security broadly, ISO 42001 focuses on how your organization governs AI, the risks it creates, the decisions it makes, and the oversight structures you have in place to keep it accountable. ISO 42001 answers “who’s accountable when your AI makes a bad call?”

Who Needs ISO 42001?

This certification makes sense for any company where AI is part of the product or the operation. That typically includes:
  • B2B SaaS companies with AI features whose enterprise customers are asking governance questions before signing contracts
  • AI-native startups that want to demonstrate responsible oversight before regulators require it
  • Companies already holding SOC 2 or ISO 27001 that need to extend their compliance posture to cover AI-specific risks
  • Organizations operating in the EU or other regulated markets where AI governance is becoming a procurement requirement, including teams on an EU AI Act compliance pathway

Why Choose Decrypt For ISO 42001 Certification

Most audit firms don't offer this yet

ISO 42001 is new enough that most certification bodies haven’t built out a real practice around it. Decrypt has. If you need ISO 42001 alongside SOC 2 or ISO 27001, you can run all three with one team.

The same team runs your audit from kickoff to certificate

At larger firms, the people you meet during sales aren’t the people who run your audit. Decrypt is structured differently. You work with the same team throughout, and when your engagement wraps, they already know your systems.

We actually perform the audit

A lot of firms will help you get ready for ISO 42001. Decrypt performs the certification audit itself. That means one team, one invoice, and no readiness consultant handing you off to a separate audit firm at the end.
