Preliminary steps for ISO 42001 compliance
Understand the ISO 42001 requirements
☐ Define AIMS Scope: Establish the boundaries and applicability of your AI Management System within your organization.
☐ Familiarize with AI Principles: Dive deep into AI concepts, lifecycle, and governance as outlined in the ISO frameworks.
☐ Determine Your Role: Identify if your organization is an AI provider, developer, or user to tailor your compliance approach.
Conduct initial gap analysis
☐ Evaluate Current Controls: Assess your existing controls against ISO 42001 standards.
☐ Identify Areas for Improvement: Highlight gaps and areas requiring development or adjustment.
☐ Understand the overlaps between this standard and your existing ISMS: For an organization already certified under ISO 27001, achieving ISO 42001 compliance is generally easier due to the overlap in requirements and controls between the two standards.
