Certified AI in 90 days - building trust in your AI
Do you know that?
- Our AI is used productively - but without a governance framework.
- We don't know what we can expect from the EU AI Act.
- AI needs responsibility - but no one feels responsible.
- We need ISO 42001 - but not as a major new project.
Why is ISO 42001 important?
The new standard for responsible, safe and compliant AI – implement it strategically now.
Managing AI risks
Identify, evaluate and control risks systematically.
Create trust
Ensure acceptance through transparent and comprehensible AI.
Ensure compliance
Ready for EU AI Act & international regulations.
Strengthening governance
Defined roles, processes and clear responsibilities.
Strengthen competition
Show responsibility - and stand out.
Easy to integrate
Can be seamlessly combined with ISO 27001 and existing systems.
When your AI makes decisions, you should be able to explain them.
ISO 42001 is the difference between “We hope” and “We have it under control” – trust is not created with prompts, but with processes.

Who is ISO 42001 suitable for?
In short: For everyone who uses AI – but doesn’t want a black box.
Industries with high reputational or regulatory obligations
Organizations in regulated sectors such as finance, healthcare, automotive or the public sector particularly benefit from ISO 42001.
They specifically fulfill legal and ethical requirements (e.g. EU AI Act)
You protect your brand from reputational damage
You introduce verifiable governance processes that exist in the audit
Growing tech and AI companies
Innovative companies that develop or scale AI use ISO 42001 as an early warning system and proof of trust.
You create structured AI governance from day one
You convince investors and customers with responsibility instead of just technology
You avoid errors through clear processes instead of trial and error
Companies with AI-supported decisions
If your AI makes decisions about people, contracts or processes, you need clear rules and comprehensible processes.
They make decisions understandable and verifiable
You reduce risks through systematic risk management
You create trust with customers, partners and employees
Organizations that use generative or adaptive AI
As soon as your AI creates, changes or personalizes content, you need to ensure control, transparency and ethical boundaries.
You define clear guidelines for the use of generative AI
They minimize risks such as discrimination, misinformation or hallucinations
They anchor responsibility where it belongs
Companies with existing ISO standards
If you already work according to ISO 27001 or ISO 9001, you can seamlessly supplement your management system with ISO 42001.
You use existing structures and reduce implementation costs
You accelerate certification through standardized processes
You integrate AI governance without duplicate structures
