ISO 42001 Internal Audit: Ensuring AI Governance Compliance

What is an ISO 42001 Internal Audit?

ISO 42001 internal audits are critical evaluations of your organization's AI Management System (AIMS) before pursuing formal certification. Unlike standard compliance checks, these specialized assessments deeply examine how your AI governance framework aligns with ISO 42001 requirements.

Our audits evaluate your AI risk management processes, governance structures, documentation, and implementation effectiveness to identify gaps and non-conformities. This proactive approach ensures you address potential issues before the certification audit, significantly increasing your chances of first-time success.
