ISO 42001 - Artificial Intelligence Systems
Contact Us
At ISO Pros, we are always working through implementation and certification. This includes any new standards added to the industry and regardless of their difficulty. ISO 42001 is one of the newest additions, and definitely a standard that comes with difficulties due to how it addresses AI management systems and required changes.
What makes it difficult is having to work around all corrective changes or actions when you already have an entire system in place. After all, the elements or aspects that ISO 42001 considers are not based on concepts other people or companies have worked with, such as accountability and responsibility.
Moreover, explainability plays a key role in including it with your standards, especially when you have your AI system making decisions based on the information or data it collects. Our recommendation is working towards what benefits you while integrating the ideas and values that come with the ISO.
However, trying to find balance can be exhausting if you are not clear or don’t understand what the ISO entails for your business in the short- and long-term.
This is why we are always available. Our professionals are able to work through implementation, new projects, and proper certification thanks to their expertise and knowledge regarding the ISO. Furthermore, they always conduct initial audits that allow us to build a plan based on your needs and not only by following specific guidelines that may crash with your projects.
Feel free to inquire about us, our services, and how getting ISO 42001 certified can be easier than it seems.
How Our ISO 42001 Implementation Process Works
First, we always conduct initial audits, even if they seem unnecessary. We need to know about your company and the ideas at hand. This includes whether you have an AI management system in place, if you are working on getting one, or planning to do so soon enough. This way, we are able to position ourselves in the particular circumstances and guarantee that implementation goes smoothly.
Second, once all the information regarding your company and AI system is clear, we bring in our ISO 42001 expertise and start working on developing your AI governance policies, which will be implemented later on.
Third, all implementation and policies need to align with the ISO, but they should also consider your AI system’s tasks and how you have been handling management so far. Therefore, don’t try to follow everything word by word. Instead, focus on balancing the approach of having what some people think is “the perfect” AI management system.
Fourth, we need to take actions based on long-term compliance. This includes training employees and making sure they follow policies and regulations accordingly. Otherwise, you will have to repeat audits and even get recertified if compliance isn’t maintained.
Finally, everything from implementation to a final audit for certification will be followed. feel free to have our team at ISO Pros offer insights and work towards a customized plan that brings the expected outcome.
