What is ISO 42001?

Responsible, transparent and secure AI — not just a declaration

ISO 42001 is the first international management standard for artificial intelligence (AIMS – AI Management System), published in December 2023. It defines how organizations develop, deploy and manage AI systems in a responsible, transparent and auditable way.

The standard arrives at the perfect time: the EU AI Act enters into force in 2025, and Enterprise clients worldwide are starting to demand proof of AI governance from their suppliers. ISO 42001 is the certified answer.

CBE doesn't just guide you to ISO 42001 — we build an AI GRC framework that also covers AI Act compliance, AI risk management, privacy protection and information security — all under one roof.
