Get audit-ready for ISO 42001
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 · Artificial Intelligence Management System
Management system standard for organizations developing, providing, or using AI-based products and services responsibly.
ISO 42001What is ISO 42001?
Management system standard for organizations developing, providing, or using AI-based products and services responsibly.
Who it applies to
Organisations building or deploying AI systems that need to show governance over them. The first certifiable AI management system standard, so it is increasingly what procurement asks for when the product has AI in it.
How the standard is organised
A management-system standard in the same shape as ISO 27001 - clauses 4-10 plus an annex of controls - but directed at AI-specific concerns such as impact assessment, data governance for training, and human oversight.

The badges shown are original Bitkosh artwork, not the official marks. Bitkosh Technologies is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by ISO, AICPA, the PCI Security Standards Council, ENX/VDA, or any other framework owner, and using this platform does not by itself confer or guarantee certification — certification/attestation is granted only by the relevant accredited third-party body.
ISO 42001 on the Bitkosh platform
The 39 ISO 42001 controls sit in one workspace with gap assessment, evidence collection and your readiness score, and shared controls count towards the equivalent requirement in the other 47 ready frameworks at the same time — so a second framework costs a fraction of the first.
How the platform worksSample controls
Six controls from the platform's control library, chosen because they are the most specific to this framework.
- A.8.3Informing Interested Parties About AI Outcomes
Be upfront about when a decision or output came from an AI system, and what that means for the person on the other end.
Information for Interested Parties - A.2.3Responsible AI Topics in AI Policy
Make sure that policy explicitly addresses the responsible-AI basics -- fairness, transparency, and ethical use -- not just security.
Policies for AI - A.8.2Informing Interested Parties About AI System Interaction
Tell people plainly when they're interacting with an AI system, rather than letting them assume it's human.
Information for Interested Parties - A.4.3Competencies Related to AI Systems
Confirm the people actually building and operating your AI systems have the skills the job requires, and close gaps where they don't.
Resources for AI Systems - A.6.2.8Responsible AI System Integration
Think through the governance implications before wiring an AI system into everything else you run, not after.
AI System Life Cycle - A.9.5Human Oversight Aspects
Keep a human genuinely in the loop for decisions that matter, not a rubber-stamp review after the fact.
