ISO 42001: the world’s first management system standard for artificial intelligence.
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 establishes requirements for an AI Management System (AIMS) applicable to any organization that develops, provides, or uses AI-based products and services. It follows the same Annex SL structure as ISO 27001 and ISO 9001—making integration straightforward for organizations already certified. Sentrix pre-maps your existing controls to ISO 42001 clauses and tracks AI risk evidence continuously so your AIMS audit is always current.
Context. Leadership. Planning. Support. Operation. Evaluation. Improvement.
ISO 42001 is structured around a Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle applied specifically to AI systems. It requires organizations to define the scope of their AIMS, identify AI-related risks and impacts, establish governance structures, and demonstrate continual improvement. Annex A provides AI-specific controls that go beyond traditional security—covering algorithmic transparency, data quality, and AI system impact assessment.
- Cl. 4 — Context: AIMS scope, interested parties, internal and external issues
- Cl. 5 — Leadership: AI policy, roles, accountability, board-level AI governance
- Cl. 6 — Planning: AI risk assessment, AI system impact assessment (AISIA), objectives
- Cl. 7 — Support: resources, competence, awareness, AI-specific documentation
- Cl. 8 — Operation: AI development and deployment controls, third-party AI provider management
- Cl. 9–10 — Evaluate & Improve: internal audit, management review, nonconformity, corrective action
ISO 42001 · Clause coverage
CURRENT POSTUREGovern AI responsibly—from first model to board-level accountability.
Annex A AI controls
AI-specific controls pre-built into Sentrix covering data governance, model transparency, AI system impact assessment, algorithmic accountability, and third-party AI provider risk.
ISO 27001 crosswalk
Both standards share the Annex SL management system structure. Organizations already certified to ISO 27001 typically satisfy over 60% of ISO 42001 clause requirements from their existing evidence program.
AI system impact assessment
Clause 6 requires an AI system impact assessment for every in-scope AI application. Sentrix provides structured AISIA templates pre-mapped to Annex A controls and cross-referenced to your risk register.
Third-party AI provider management
Clause 8 covers procurement and oversight of external AI tools, models, and platforms. Sentrix onboards AI vendors into your third-party risk program and tracks their compliance posture continuously.
NIST AI RMF crosswalk
ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF 1.0 address the same AI governance challenges from complementary angles. Sentrix maps controls across both frameworks so organizations pursuing both satisfy them from a single evidence set.
