Overview

Aligning Security, Privacy & AI Governance

ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 are becoming increasingly important for companies that need to demonstrate structured governance, security maturity and responsible AI management.

For SaaS providers, AI companies, B2B technology vendors, fintech businesses, healthtech providers and other digital organisations, customers and partners often expect more than legal compliance. They want to see whether the company has a reliable governance framework, policy framework, risk management structure and evidence-based approach to security, privacy and AI accountability.

ISO 27001 supports information security management and security governance. ISO 42001 supports the development of an AI management system for organisations that design, provide or use AI systems. Together, these standards can help companies strengthen trust, prepare for enterprise due diligence and build a more mature operational compliance structure.

This section is designed for SaaS companies, AI providers, technology vendors, fintech companies, healthtech businesses, B2B platforms, founders, CISOs, compliance leaders, DPOs, legal teams and management teams preparing for enterprise trust, security reviews, AI governance expectations or certification-aligned readiness projects.

FAQ

ISO Governance FAQ

What is the difference between ISO 27001 and ISO 42001? expand_more
ISO 27001 focuses on Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) to protect general corporate data assets. ISO 42001 is a newer standard focusing specifically on Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS), covering model safety, transparency, and training data provenance.
How long does it take to prepare for an ISO 27001 audit? expand_more
Depending on your starting security posture, it typically takes 3 to 6 months to construct policies, deploy technical controls, gather operational evidence, and run internal mock audits.
Do you act as the official certifying body? expand_more
No. The official certification requires an audit by an accredited external body (such as TÜV). We serve as your implementer and advisor—building the policies, engineering controls, and running pre-audits to guarantee you pass.
