The surge in AI adoption has left enterprises grappling with a critical question: How do we implement AI safely and responsibly at scale? While principles abound, translating them into actionable steps across an organization remains challenging. Enter ISO/IEC 42001 and Credo AI's solution.

ISO/IEC 42001 certification is a critical component of building trustworthy software. However, its requirements are wide-ranging —from establishing an AI policy and assigning responsibilities to performing risk assessments, controlling documentation, and implementing risk treatment plans. This can be a daunting challenge for organizations looking to centralize their compliance efforts. Credo AI was tailor-made to address a majority of the ISO/IEC 42001 requirements, by leveraging the platform you are already halfway there.
The Value of ISO/IEC 42001
In the complex landscape of AI governance, ISO/IEC 42001 stands out as the premier AI management system standard. Here's why it matters:
- Provides a comprehensive framework for establishing AI governance
- Offers flexibility to adapt across different organizational contexts
- Enables organizations to demonstrate trustworthy AI development
- Serves as a certifiable, globally recognized standard
- Aligns with emerging global AI regulations
Breaking Down Regulatory Complexity
For multinational enterprises, meeting varied regulatory requirements can be overwhelming.

Plus, with accredited certification bodies able to audit and certify conformance, organizations can build public trust in their AI systems.
