Frequently asked questions

What is ISO 42001?

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the international standard for AI management systems. It provides a framework for organizations to manage AI risks, ensure responsible AI development, and demonstrate compliance through certification.

How does Brigs help with ISO 42001 certification?

Brigs provides automated evaluation of agent governance controls that map to ISO 42001 requirements — including risk management, documentation, human oversight, data governance, access control, and supply chain security. This evidence supports your ISO 42001 certification audit.

What's the difference between ISO 27001 and ISO 42001?

ISO 27001 covers information security management broadly. ISO 42001 is AI-specific — it addresses risks unique to AI systems like model governance, AI data handling, autonomous decision-making oversight, and AI supply chain. Organizations often pursue both certifications.
