The path to ISO/IEC 42001
Six steps from first conversation to ISO/IEC 42001. AMS and our consultants handle each one with you.
- 1Scope
Define which sites, teams, processes and systems ISO/IEC 42001 will cover.
- 2Gap assessment
Compare what you do today with every ISO/IEC 42001 requirement and list what is missing.
- 3Documents
Write the policies, procedures and records ISO/IEC 42001 expects, starting with the ai policy.
- 4Implement and collect evidence
Put the processes into daily work and capture proof that they run, on a schedule.
- 5Internal review
Check readiness with an internal audit or self-assessment, and close the findings.
- 6Certification audit
An accredited certification body runs a stage 1 document review and a stage 2 audit, then issues the certificate. Surveillance audits follow every year.

How long does ISO/IEC 42001 implementation take?

What documents does ISO/IEC 42001 require?
Core documents usually include: ai policy, ai system inventory, ai impact assessment, model lifecycle controls. AMS drafts them from your actual processes and keeps them under version control.
Can ISO/IEC 42001 be combined with other standards?
Yes. ISO/IEC 42001 is often run together with ISO/IEC 20000-1, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27701. AMS maps shared requirements, so one record can count toward several standards.
How does AMS help with ISO/IEC 42001?
AMS runs the full ISO/IEC 42001 program: scoping, gap assessment, documents, evidence capture, internal audits, corrective actions and the audit pack for your certification body.
