ISO 42001 AI Management System Certification
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the first international standard for managing artificial intelligence responsibly. Companies that build or use AI, especially in products sold to enterprises, are starting to be asked for it. Vakil Labs helps you set up an AI management system and prepare for certification.
We combine AI governance with the legal side: AI-use policies, customer and vendor terms, IP and data protection. Certification audits are arranged through our tie-up with Veritas International (a JAS Global Certifications brand). The certificate itself is issued by the certification body after its independent audit.
ISO 42001 AI Management System Certification Over View
An ISO 42001 project starts by listing where AI is built or used in your organisation and the risks involved, such as bias, transparency, security, privacy and intellectual property. We set up AI policies, roles, impact assessments and controls over the AI lifecycle, including third-party AI tools. The work links directly to your contracts, privacy programme and ISO 27001 system.

Who should consider ISO 42001?
SaaS and technology companies that build AI features, and any business using AI in decisions about customers or employees, especially when enterprise clients ask about AI governance.

No. It's voluntary, but it's becoming a way to show customers and investors that your AI use is governed and responsible.
Does ISO 42001 cover third-party AI tools like chatbots?
Yes. The standard expects you to manage the AI you use as well as the AI you build, including vendor terms and data handling.
How long does ISO 42001 take?
Usually 12 to 20 weeks, depending on how much AI you use and whether ISO 27001 is already in place.
