ISO 42001

ISO 42001 is the first international standard for AI management systems (AIMS). It helps organisations deploy and manage AI responsibly, safely and transparently. With regulation such as the EU AI Act, demonstrably responsible AI use is becoming increasingly important.

It depends on your size and how far your AI governance already is, but organisations using SQwaire typically certify 50% faster than traditional approaches — usually within 3 to 6 months. The private AI agents speed up risk assessment, policy and audit preparation.

An AIMS is the set of policies, processes and controls to develop, deploy and monitor AI systems responsibly — including risk management, transparency and human oversight. SQwaire builds your AIMS in a structured way and keeps it up to date.

ISO 42001 takes a risk-based approach to AI-specific risks such as bias, transparency, safety and accountability, with corresponding controls. SQwaire automatically links each requirement to risks, tasks and evidence.

All AI runs on a private LLM; your data never leaves your own environment and is never shared with commercial AI providers. That fits an AI standard: you demonstrate responsible AI use and your data stays yours. Each customer gets a dedicated database, with encryption, role-based access, audit trails and 2FA.

ISO 42001 is a voluntary standard that helps you set up AI governance demonstrably. It supports compliance with regulation such as the EU AI Act but does not replace it. SQwaire helps you manage both in a structured way.
