ISO 42001 Certification: The 2026 Roadmap for AI Governance

On this page

In 2026, “Responsible AI” has moved from a marketing slogan to a measurable standard. With the release of ISO/IEC 42001, the world’s first AI Management System (AIMS) standard, Fortune 500 companies are now requiring vendors to be certified or show a clear roadmap for implementation.

 

If you already have ISO 27001, you are 40% of the way there. Enactia’s 2026 ISO 42001 module allows you to:

 
  • Leverage Existing Controls: Automatically map your Information Security controls to the new AI-specific Annex A requirements.

     
  • Conduct System Impact Assessments: Move beyond simple data protection to evaluate the societal and ethical risks of your AI models.

  • Build the AI Inventory: Maintain a centralized registry of every model, its training data sources, and its intended use—a mandatory requirement for certification.
