ISO 42001

The international standard for AI management systems, published in 2023. ISO 42001 provides organisations with a framework to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve responsible AI governance—complementary to, but distinct from, EU AI Act legal requirements.

AI Risk Management

A systematic process for identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks associated with AI systems throughout their lifecycle. The EU AI Act requires high-risk AI providers to implement and document a risk management system; ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF provide complementary frameworks.

AI Governance

The framework of policies, processes, roles, and controls that ensure AI systems are developed, deployed, and used responsibly and in compliance with applicable law. AI governance spans ethics, bias, privacy, security, and regulatory compliance across the model lifecycle.
