ISO 42001 Compliance Software for AI-First Teams
Govern your AI the way the standard expects — and prove it. RegShield AI maps your evidence to ISO/IEC 42001 controls, scores your readiness, and drafts the AI-governance policies you're missing.
Why ISO 42001 now
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the first global standard for managing AI responsibly, and it’s fast becoming the answer enterprise buyers and regulators expect when they ask, “how do you govern your AI?” If your product ships AI features, a credible AI Management System is turning from a nice-to-have into a deal requirement. Getting there manually — interpreting the standard, finding the right evidence, writing the policies — is slow.
How RegShield helps
RegShield turns ISO 42001 into a concrete, evidence-backed checklist. Upload what you have; our AI maps it to specific ISO 42001 controls, scores your readiness honestly, and produces a prioritised gap report. It drafts the AI policy, impact-assessment and oversight documents you’re missing — and because it reuses evidence across ISO 27001, SOC 2 and DPDPA, adding AI governance builds on work you’ve already done.
What you get
- ISO 42001 readiness score — an honest percentage backed by your real evidence.
- Control-by-control gap analysis — see what’s covered and what needs work, prioritised.
- AI-governance policy drafting — AI policy, impact assessments, oversight and transparency docs.
- Evidence reuse — one upload counts across ISO 42001, ISO 27001, SOC 2 and DPDPA.
- Remediation roadmap + audit-ready reports — concrete next steps and shareable reports.
Frequently asked questions
What is ISO 42001?
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the first international standard for an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS). It gives organisations a structured way to govern the AI they build or use — covering AI policy, risk and impact assessment, data management, the AI system lifecycle, transparency and human oversight. Structurally it mirrors ISO 27001's management-system model, so the two fit together cleanly.
Who needs ISO 42001?
Any organisation that develops, provides, or meaningfully uses AI systems — which now includes most SaaS companies shipping AI features. It's becoming a procurement and trust signal: as enterprise buyers and regulators (e.g. the EU AI Act) raise expectations around responsible AI, ISO 42001 is the recognised way to demonstrate you govern AI properly.
How is ISO 42001 different from ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 governs information security (an ISMS); ISO 42001 governs AI specifically (an AIMS). They share the same management-system backbone — context, leadership, risk, controls, continual improvement — but ISO 42001 adds AI-specific requirements like AI impact assessments, data-for-AI governance, transparency and human oversight. If you've done ISO 27001, much of the groundwork carries over.
Is ISO 42001 certifiable?
Yes — like ISO 27001, organisations can be independently audited and certified against ISO 42001 by an accredited certification body. RegShield gets you internally ready for that audit: organised evidence, a clear readiness score, and a prioritised gap list.
How does RegShield AI help with ISO 42001?
RegShield maps the documents and system evidence you already have to specific ISO 42001 controls using AI, scores your readiness, and shows which controls are covered and which are gaps. It drafts the AI-governance policies you're missing and reuses the same evidence across ISO 27001, SOC 2 and DPDPA — so adding AI governance doesn't mean starting over. It's a readiness tool, not a certification or legal advice.
