ISO 42001 - AI Systems
New ISOs are often seen as an extra addition or the opposite: brand-new rules that need to be followed and are here to mess things up. However, they are not. While regulations tend to feel like limitations, they can actually work on your favor when it comes to a well-structured system and improvement. ISO 42001 is quite the best example with its new implementation and how you can not only bring new structures but also improve the ones you were using by complying with other ISOs.
At ISO Pros, we can guide you through the entire process and make sure you don’t have to worry about how the whole process will work. From going through ISO 42001 implementation to combining it with other standards and providing certification, we will be there to keep everything handled and clean.
With this in mind, how do you know whether you need ISO 42001 or if you should be skipping its use and how certification can be delayed?
It is a matter of use, needs, and goals.
Take the time to review your requirements around standards and regulations. Before even jumping on ISO 42001, reviewing your previous certifications and compliance with all policies is the best option to prevent further risks and any issues with your systems.
Once done, ISO 42001 will start to come in handy and become part of the entire process for your business. Once this happens, we will be there to review every part of the steps and help you get certified in no time.
How ISO 42001 Works with Other Standards?
Again, it will be based on needs, use, and goals.
As a whole, ISOs often follow regulations and needs based on the systems you are using. Not all of them will be required or used in your system, but some need to be combined to make your current framework better.
A great example is how ISO 27001 plays a key role. Considering it is all about information security management and data protection and risk mitigation, you can easily combine ISO 42001 with its purpose.
After all, AI is made to collect data and one of the main uses lies in organization and bringing every detail into a database. How this information is handled, used, protected, organized, and accessed will entirely depend on you.
Moreover, identifying risks and preventing security breaches will be crucial, which can be done by having ISO 27001 in place and following it up with ISO 42001 so that every part of the implementation is focused on your AI management systems.
Other options, such as ISO 9001 for quality management and how you can have well-established systems and services, will come in handy when combining them as a whole.
What we recommend at ISO Pros is having a clear roadmap of how you need to address all aspects. From AI governance to general quality and risk management. We will be there to get you started on the basics, bring auditors, and work towards great ISO 42001 compliance and combination with the rest.
