Your employees are already using AI Do you have governance?
ChatGPT, Copilot, image generation - AI tools spread quickly in organizations. Without governance you risk data leaks, ethical missteps and regulatory violations. ISO 42001 provides the framework. AmpliFlow makes it practical.
AmpliFlow participated in ISO's working group for ISO/IEC 42001.
AI chaos or AI governance?
Without control over AI usage, risks grow quickly.
Shadow AI everywhere
Employees use ChatGPT, Copilot and other AI tools without anyone knowing. Company data is fed into unknown systems.
No AI policy
No guidelines for how AI may be used. Every department does their own thing. Inconsistent and risky.
Unknown risks
Which AI systems are in use? What data is being input? Which decisions are affected? No one has oversight.
EU AI Act is coming
New EU legislation with significant fines is coming into force. Are you prepared? Can you demonstrate compliance?
Ethical questions
AI can amplify bias, make unfair decisions and damage reputation. Who takes responsibility?
AI governance with tools you already have
AmpliFlow has no dedicated AI features - but our management system is perfect for AI governance. The same tools used for ISO 27001 and quality management work for ISO 42001.
Risk analysis for AI
Use ORA to identify and assess AI risks. The same proven methodology as for information security.
Legislation monitoring for EU AI Act
Add EU AI Act to the legislation registry. Set target dates for when you need adaptations complete.
Process maps for AI-affected processes
Document which processes use AI and how. Link AI tools to process steps.
AI policies via Pages
Create AI policies in the built-in text editor (wiki). Organize in folders and share with employees.
Stakeholder analysis with ISO 42001 linkage
Map stakeholders affected by your AI usage and their requirements.
Action management for AI initiatives
Track and follow up AI-related improvement actions with owners and deadlines.
Responsible AI in practice
ISO 42001 is built on principles for responsible AI. AmpliFlow helps you translate principles into concrete actions.
Transparency
Explain how AI systems work and make decisions
Fairness
Avoid bias and ensure equal treatment
Accountability
Clear ownership and responsibility for AI decisions
Safety
Protect against misuse and unintended harm
Prepare for the EU AI Regulation
The EU AI Act is the world's first comprehensive AI legislation. ISO 42001 helps you meet the requirements.
Risk classification
Classify your AI systems according to EU risk levels: unacceptable, high, limited or minimal risk.
Documentation requirements
Meet requirements for technical documentation, user instructions and quality management.
Compliance evidence
Show supervisory authorities that you're in control. ISO 42001 certification provides credible evidence.
Timeline
The EU AI Act comes into force gradually from 2024. Prohibition rules first, then requirements for high-risk systems. Start preparations now.
Classify your AI system
Answer three questions about your AI system and see which risk level it falls under according to the EU AI Act.
Question 1 of 3
What is the AI system used for?

Why ISO 42001?
Advantage in the AI era.
Win contracts
More and more tenders require demonstrated AI governance. Certification opens doors.
EU AI Act compliance
Prepare for EU AI legislation. ISO 42001 provides the structure.
Responsible AI use
Minimize risks of bias, privacy violations and incorrect decisions.
Competitive advantage
Show customers and partners you take AI ethics seriously.
Reduced risk
Structured AI governance reduces the risk of incidents and regulatory violations.
First-mover advantage
Be early. ISO 42001 is new - get certified before competitors.
ISO 42001 is not just for AI companies
All organizations that use AI tools need AI governance. It's not about developing AI - it's about using AI responsibly.
Developing your own AI? Then ISO 42001 is even more important - but the standard is designed for everyone who uses AI, not just those who build it.
Questions about ISO 42001
Answers without AI jargon.
What is an AI Management System (AIMS)?
AIMS is a management system specifically for AI use. It defines how the organization governs, monitors and improves its AI use. Just like an ISMS for information security or QMS for quality.
Do we need ISO 42001 if we don't develop our own AI?
Yes, if you use AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot or AI-based services. ISO 42001 is about responsible use of AI - not just development. All organizations where employees use AI tools benefit from the standard.
How does ISO 42001 relate to the EU AI Act?
The EU AI Act is legislation with requirements and sanctions. ISO 42001 is a voluntary standard that helps you meet legal requirements. Implementing ISO 42001 is one way to demonstrate EU AI Act compliance.
Can we use the same tools as for ISO 27001?
Yes, absolutely. AmpliFlow supports both ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 with the same tools — risk analysis, documentation via Pages, action management and checklists. You don't need new systems.
How long does implementation take?
Typically 3-6 months for a medium-sized organization. It depends on how many AI systems you have, how mature your current governance is and whether you already have other ISO certifications.
Do we need to get certified?
No, certification is voluntary. You can implement ISO 42001 without external audit. But certification provides credible evidence for customers, partners and supervisory authorities.
