Read the blog →ISO 42001 is the international standard for governing AI responsibly. When a buyer, board, or regulator asks how you manage your AI, this is the framework that answers them.
Get startedtraztech provides ISO 42001 readiness assessments: we measure you against the standard and build the roadmap to audit-ready.
The same readiness motion we run for SOC 2 and ISO 27001, applied to the AI management system standard.
We assess your current state against the ISO 42001 requirements and Annex A controls, and hand you a clear, prioritized list of what is missing.
Acceptable-use, accountability, and oversight: the policies and roles that make responsible AI governance real rather than a slide.
A working process to identify, assess, and treat the risks and impacts of your AI systems across their lifecycle, which is the heart of the standard.
A sequenced plan to close the gaps and the management-system evidence an accredited auditor will expect, then we coordinate the external audit through the same auditor management and advocacy process we run for SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
Tell us how you use AI and we will scope a readiness assessment that fits.
Book a CallISO/IEC 42001 is the first international standard for an AI management system (AIMS). It sets out how an organization should govern its use and development of AI responsibly: policy, roles, risk management, and lifecycle controls. It is to AI what ISO 27001 is to information security.
No, and no consultant can. An accredited certification body issues the certificate. We are the readiness and prep partner: we run the gap assessment, build the management system and evidence, and get you audit-ready, then coordinate the external audit.
Companies building or deploying AI whose customers, board, or regulators are starting to ask how the AI is governed. It is becoming the credible answer to AI-governance questions in enterprise deals, the way SOC 2 became the answer for security.
They overlap. An ISO 42001 management system gives you the governance backbone that makes EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF work far easier. We map one set of controls across all three so you build the evidence once. We also offer free tools for EU AI Act classification and AI governance self-assessment.
Every readiness programme needs a control library, an evidence register, policies and a score for the board. Being quoted five figures a year for that is normal. Paying it is not.

Track record
We would rather show you the work than a wall of logos. Here is what is behind the advice.
Five published CVEs. CVE-2024-45163 (CVSS 9.1) is a flaw in the Mirai botnet itself, which gave defenders a way to shut down attacker infrastructure. CVE-2026-42626 takes HP ENVY 5000 printers offline from any unauthenticated device on the same network.
The printer is the one that matters on a compliance page: an asset nobody counts as a computer, on a flat network, downed by a device that never had to log in. Auditors ask how controls fail. We have found out first-hand.
At Humera, a venture-backed US security company, Jacob built the compliance programme in-house from nothing: no report, no policies, no documented controls. It ended in a Type II attestation with zero exceptions.
The platform stayed in production throughout, which is the part most readiness projects get wrong: controls are easy to design and hard to retrofit onto a system people already depend on.
For a Waterloo data centre operator we ran SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022 together rather than one after the other, across a production campus, an AI compute platform and a self-hosted collaboration stack. Scoped so further Ontario and Quebec sites enter as they reach production. Findings delivered and remediated.
For an Ontario medtech company putting an AI clinical assistant in front of practitioners, we ran the gap analysis and built the evidence programme behind their SOC 2.
