ISO 42001 (AI Management System) — Certifyi
ISO/IEC 42001 · AI Management System

AI governance built by an AI-native platform

Certifyi maps ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF, and EU AI Act controls to a single shared control set and enforces them simultaneously. AI governance is native to the platform, not a generic SOC 2 template with an AI tab added on.

Why generic compliance tools miss AI risk

SOC 2 wasn't built for how your product actually works

AI-native companies face governance questions that traditional information security frameworks simply don't ask.

01

EU AI Act fines reach €35M

Up to €35 million or 7% of global revenue for prohibited or high-risk AI system violations — and enforcement is phasing in now, not someday.

02

Security questionnaires now ask AI-specific questions

Model training data provenance, bias testing, and human oversight are showing up in enterprise vendor reviews that a SOC 2 report alone can't answer.

03

Generic consultants apply old frameworks

Most GRC consultants have zero AI specialization — they retrofit information-security templates rather than building real AI governance.

04

Every framework becomes a separate project

ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, and EU AI Act each get scoped, sold, and staffed separately — tripling cost and timeline for overlapping work.

How Certifyi is different

Native AI controls, not a bolt-on module

Certifyi was built AI-first, mapping one control library to every AI governance framework your buyers ask about.

ISO 42001-ready AI management system

Governance, data provenance, and human oversight controls mapped to ISO/IEC 42001 from day one.

NIST AI RMF & EU AI Act mapped together

One evidence set satisfies overlapping requirements across all three frameworks instead of three separate implementations.

AI risk register, purpose-built

Track model risk, bias testing, and incident response the way an AI-native product actually needs to — not a repurposed IT risk register.

Weekly expert check-ins

1:1 guidance from compliance leads who understand AI systems, not generalists learning on your account.

Your roadmap

The 8-12 week path to AI governance readiness

One project, three frameworks mapped together.

Week 0-1: AI System Inventory & Risk Tiering

Catalog your AI systems, classify them against EU AI Act risk tiers, and scope ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF controls to match.

Deliverable: AI risk register

Week 1-8: Governance Build

Deploy data governance, model documentation, and human oversight controls; connect integrations to automate evidence collection.

Deliverable: AI governance policy set

Week 8-12+: Audit & Certification Support

Mock audit, gap remediation, and liaison support through your ISO 42001 certification audit.

Payment milestone: 50% due at sign-off
The business impact

Why AI governance is now a revenue question

Enterprise buyers and regulators are converging on the same asks.

€35M

Maximum EU AI Act fine

Or 7% of global annual revenue, for prohibited or high-risk AI system violations — a real balance-sheet risk, not a compliance footnote.

1

Control library, three frameworks

ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, and EU AI Act mapped together — save 6-12 months and $50K+ versus separate framework projects.

Faster than a traditional consultant

8-12 weeks to audit-ready, with weekly guidance from people who actually understand how AI systems are built and deployed.

Common questions

ISO 42001 and AI governance, answered

ISO/IEC 42001 is the first international standard for AI management systems, setting requirements for how an organization governs, develops, and operates AI responsibly — covering risk management, data governance, transparency, and human oversight.

SOC 2 covers general information security, not AI-specific risks like model bias, training data provenance, or automated decision oversight. As enterprise questionnaires add AI-specific sections and the EU AI Act phases in, ISO 42001 is becoming a separate, additional requirement.

Certifyi maintains one native AI control library mapped to all three frameworks simultaneously, so evidence collected once satisfies overlapping controls instead of requiring three separate projects.

Fines of up to €35 million or 7% of global annual revenue for prohibited or high-risk AI system violations. Even lower-risk systems can lose EU enterprise deals over non-compliance. Certifyi maps your AI systems against EU AI Act risk tiers as part of scoping.
