Standards and guidance
ISO/IEC 42001: AI Management System Evidence
A management system standard for organisations that provide or use AI.
How to use this reference
Readiness work can connect organisational responsibilities, risk processes and implementation evidence. A control test is not a management system certification.
Evidence to discuss
Identify the system scope, control owner, implementation evidence, test results, exceptions and the reviewer responsible for acceptance. Requirements are mapped to the agreed source version; missing and untested controls remain visible.

AI management system discussion
These are engineering discussion prompts, not a substitute for the source requirements or the appointed reviewer's criteria.
- Who owns the AI system, its risk decisions and review process?
- How do agent inventories, changes and findings feed the management process?
- Which records show that agreed controls were implemented and reviewed?
Use the security review checklist to organise owners, test records and gaps. The assessment method explains how coverage limits are recorded.
