Readiness engagement

ISO 42001 readiness

We build your AI management system to ISO 42001 and prepare you for the certification audit: register, policy, risk and impact assessments, Annex A controls and evidence, aligned to the EU AI Act.

Method

How it runs

  1. Phase 1

    Kick-off

    Confirm the scope, start the AI system register and re-run the readiness check together.

  2. Phase 2

    Foundations

    AI policy, roles and risk criteria: clauses 4 to 6.

  3. Phase 3

    Controls

    Impact assessments, the life-cycle procedure, and data and supplier controls from Annex A.

  4. Phase 4

    Evidence

    Your team uploads evidence against each control in the portal; we review it.

  5. Phase 5

    Internal audit and management review

    Done by someone not involved in the earlier phases, as the standard requires.

  6. Phase 6

    Audit readiness

    A summary of open points and the handover to your certification body.

Price

Three paces, one set of deliverables

The certification body's audit fee, typically EUR 6.000 to 12.000, is paid by you to them. It is never part of my price.

Questions

Asked before ordering

Who does the certification audit?

An accredited certification body that you choose and contract. We prepare you; we never audit what we advised.

We are already ISO 27001 certified. Does that help?

Yes. Much of clauses 4 to 10 can build on your existing management system, which usually puts you at the lighter end of the work.

How do we pay?

Half when you order and half at the certification-audit milestone. Online payment opens once the company's payment account is live.
