FAQ
Does ISO 42001 equal EU AI Act compliance?+–
No. ISO 42001 is a certifiable management system. The AI Act is law with its own conformity path.
Do we need ISO 27001 first?+–
Not strictly, but many AIMS controls overlap an ISMS and reuse is efficient.
What is an AI impact assessment?+–
A structured look at effects on people, rights, safety, and organizations across the AI lifecycle.
Who certifies ISO 42001?+–
An accredited certification body.
