AI Management Systems for responsible and trusted AI
Need help? Call usÂ
ISO/IEC 42001 is the first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS).
It provides a structured framework to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve how your organisation governs AI.
The standard helps organisations manage AI-specific risks such as bias, ethics, transparency, and safety.
It supports trust, accountability, and compliance as AI systems become more embedded in products, services, and decision‑making.
ISO/IEC 42001 is relevant for organisations that develop, deploy, or use AI, including:
GCC offers ISO/IEC 42001 certification services as part of its information security and AI governance portfolio.
You get support from a certification body already experienced in ISO 27001, privacy, and cyber-related standards.
The ISO/IEC 42001 certification process starts by defining the AI scope, then moves through readiness review, AIMS implementation, certification audit, and ongoing surveillance.
Assess current AI governance against ISO/IEC 42001 requirements and plan improvements.
Establish policies, roles, processes, and controls for AI governance and risk management.
GCC issues a SOC 2 report that can be shared with customers and stakeholders under appropriate conditions.
Regular audits confirm ongoing alignment and continual improvement of your AI governance.
Cost depends on the number and complexity of AI systems in scope, the locations involved, and the maturity of your existing governance. It can also vary based on:
A tailored quote is prepared once your AI scope and objectives are defined.
Timelines vary with scope, readiness, and how widely AI is used across your organisation.
GCC will confirm expected durations after reviewing your AI footprint and implementation progress.
ISO/IEC 42001 can complement:
This creates a more complete approach to security, privacy, and AI governance.
Combine ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 into one streamlined system for efficiency and tender readiness.

ISO/IEC 42001 defines requirements for an AI management system, including governance, risk management, transparency, and continual improvement of AI systems.
No. It applies to any organisation that develops, provides, or uses AI-based products or services. It is relevant for both technology providers and business users of AI.
ISO 27001 focuses on information security management, while ISO/IEC 42001 focuses on AI management. They can work together to govern both security and AI-specific risks.
The standard supports alignment with emerging AI regulations and governance expectations by providing a structured management approach. It does not replace legal advice but helps operationalise compliance.
You should have core AIMS elements planned or in place, but gap analysis and implementation support can help you reach certification readiness.
Certificates typically follow a three‑year cycle with regular surveillance audits and a re‑certification audit before expiry.
Auditors review AI governance policies, risk assessments, roles, processes, monitoring, and examples of how AI is managed in practice.
Yes. It can be integrated with existing management systems to share governance structures and review processes.
The standard is designed to be scalable, so smaller organisations can adopt an AIMS proportional to their AI risk and complexity.
Begin by outlining your AI systems and governance goals, then request a quote. GCC will guide you on scope, readiness, and audit planning.
