ISO 42001:2023 is the world's first AI management system standard. It helps organisations establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve an AI management system, ensuring AI is used responsibly, transparently, and with appropriate human oversight. As AI use accelerates, ISO 42001 is rapidly becoming a boardroom requirement.
This framework contributes to the following governance domains in your Encircle score:
Encircle maps ISO 42001 requirements specifically to D09 AI & Data, the domain most frequently scoring in Red. AI Use Policy, AI risk register, AI system inventory, and human oversight documentation are all tracked as specific evidence categories.
Encircle scores every gap, generates your remediation tasks, and tells you when your evidence is complete. Your accredited ISO 42001 auditor then issues your certificate.
Encircle tells you when you are ISO 42001 Ready, demonstrating that your AI management system meets the standard's requirements. Given the rapid growth of AI use, being ISO 42001 ready is increasingly a commercial and regulatory expectation. Encircle connects you with an accredited ISO 42001 auditor from the Encircle Network when you're ready to pursue certification.
