RiskRegister.ai Adds ISO 42001 Support for AI Management Systems

Published: November 28, 2025 • 4 min read

RiskRegister.ai, the AI-powered risk management platform, today announced support for ISO 42001, the world's first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS).

Organizations can now use RiskRegister.ai to manage AI-related risks, demonstrate responsible AI governance, and achieve compliance with ISO 42001 requirements — all at no extra cost.

What is ISO 42001?

ISO 42001 is the world's first international standard for AI management systems, published in December 2023 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

The standard provides a framework for organizations to:

✅ Develop and use AI systems responsibly
✅ Manage AI-specific risks (bias, transparency, accountability)
✅ Ensure ethical AI deployment
✅ Demonstrate compliance with emerging AI regulations
✅ Build trust with customers and stakeholders

ISO 42001 in Brief

Why ISO 42001 Matters Now

AI adoption is accelerating across industries, but so are concerns about AI risks, ethics, and regulation:

Explosive AI Growth

Organizations are rapidly deploying AI systems for automation, decision-making, and customer service.

Regulatory Pressure

EU AI Act, US Executive Orders, and national AI regulations require governance frameworks.

Risk Management

AI introduces unique risks: algorithmic bias, data privacy, transparency, and accountability challenges.

Trust & Transparency

Customers and partners demand proof of responsible AI practices and ethical governance.

Key Insight: ISO 42001 provides a structured, auditable framework for managing AI risks — similar to how ISO 27001 addresses information security.
