AI governance (ISO 42001)
A clear, auditable framework for using AI responsibly, guided by specialists who are certified practitioners in ISO 42001 implementation and auditing.
What ready looks like
As AI moves deeper into daily operations, clients, insurers and regulators increasingly want evidence it is governed well. Our specialists are certified practitioners in ISO 42001 implementation and auditing. We run gap audits and guide your path towards certification, so your use of AI is structured, documented and defensible.
Aligned to ISO/IEC 42001, the international standard for AI management systems.
- AI use register every tool and workflow, recorded
- Policy set acceptable use, sign-off, escalation
- Risk and impact assessments per use case, reviewed
- Human oversight who checks what, defined in writing
- Monitoring and logging evidence collected as you operate
- Audit-ready records answers before anyone asks
The questions have already started
Clients and insurers are starting to ask how you govern AI
Staff already use AI tools nobody formally signed off
You could not show an auditor where AI touches your operations
Certification feels like a maze without a map
If one or more of these ring true, this page was written for you.
What we deliver
A clear map of where you stand
A gap audit against the ISO 42001 standard: where AI sits in your operations, what the risks are, and the shortest path to where you need to be.
Documents that hold up
Policies, controls and records written for your business, not boilerplate, and ready to show a client, insurer or auditor.
A staged path to certification
Practical steps sized to your team, guided by practitioners certified in ISO 42001 implementation and auditing.
Our specialists are certified practitioners in ISO 42001 implementation and auditing. Certification itself is issued by an accredited certification body; we prepare you to pass it.
In practice: what a normal week looks like
A gap audit usually starts with a simple map: where AI already touches your operations, including the places nobody thought to mention. From there we assess each use against the ISO 42001 standard, write the policies and controls that fit how you actually work, and set up the records that prove the system is followed. If certification is the goal, you arrive at the audit prepared rather than hopeful. If it is not, you still get AI use you can defend to a client, an insurer or a regulator.

Common questions
What is AI governance?
AI governance is the set of policies, controls and records that keep a business's use of AI safe, accountable and defensible. Good governance answers three questions: where is AI used, what could go wrong, and how would you prove you managed it. ISO 42001 is the international standard that formalises this.
What is ISO 42001?
ISO 42001 is the international standard for managing artificial intelligence responsibly. It covers knowing where AI sits in your operations, managing the risks that come with it, and keeping records that prove you are doing so.

Do we need AI governance if we are a small business?

Do you help with AI risk management and compliance in Australia?
Yes. AI risk management and AI compliance are the working heart of ISO 42001: we identify where AI could go wrong in your operations, put proportionate controls around it, and keep the records that show regulators, clients and insurers you manage it responsibly.
