ISO/IEC 42001: Building Responsible AI Governance with GoTrust

AI is transforming the way organizations make decisions, personalize experiences, and innovate. But with this power comes responsibility. ISO/IEC 42001 — the world’s first international standard for an AI Management System (AIMS) — defines how organizations can design, develop, deploy, and monitor AI systems responsibly, ethically, and transparently.


GoTrust helps enterprises turn this framework into action — enabling continuous compliance, governance automation, and evidence-based assurance for your AI systems.

ISO/IEC 42001 is the world’s first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS), setting the foundation for responsible, ethical, and transparent AI governance. It empowers organizations to design, deploy, and monitor AI systems with clear accountability and trust.


The standard establishes structured AI governance controls, defines roles, and operationalizes risk management practices, integrating seamlessly with privacy and security frameworks like ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and the EU AI Act.
