ISO/IEC 42001 – AI management

Responsible AI governance with ISO/IEC 42001

As AI reshapes defence and security, ISO/IEC 42001 provides the framework for control, accountability and trust in AI systems – covering governance, risk, ethics and lifecycle management.

Why it matters in defence

AI in high-stakes environments demands discipline, transparency and clear accountability.

  • Governance and accountability for AI development and use
  • AI risk and impact assessment across the lifecycle
  • Transparency that builds trust with customers and regulators
  • Integration with ISO/IEC 27001 and existing management systems
