ISO/IEC 42001 Guide for AI Security Teams
ISO/IEC 42001 is an AI management system standard. It helps organizations structure governance, risk, accountability, and lifecycle management for AI programs.
How it relates to AI security
An AI management system helps establish the policies, roles, reviews, and improvement cycle around AI use. Security teams can use that structure to ensure AI-specific technical controls are owned and reviewed instead of being treated as ad hoc engineering tasks.
What to assess
A practical assessment looks at whether the organization has a documented AI management approach, whether AI risks are reviewed regularly, and whether lifecycle controls exist for changes, incidents, and retirement.
- Governance and accountability.
- Risk treatment and review cycles.
- Lifecycle management for AI systems.
- Evidence collection and internal auditability.
