The ISO standards require an initial audit and an initial management review to be carried out as the basis for certification. We have already prepared and created both documents for you so that you are already optimally prepared for certification.
Valuations / Internal audit
Audit report: Results of our first ISO 42001 system audit
Click here
As part of the implementation of our AI Management System, we conducted a system audit to verify conformity with the requirements of ISO 42001. To do so, we systematically reviewed each requirement of the standard and compared it with its implementation within our organization. The audit was based on the methods described below.
- Documentation Reviewed: We verified that the required AI Management System documentation was complete and that relevant AI use cases, risks, objectives, and controls had been adequately documented.
- Comprehensive Analysis: We carried out a thorough evaluation of the documented policies, processes, and measures for the responsible use of AI, as well as their practical implementation within our organization.
- Interviews Conducted: We interviewed relevant individuals to gain insight into the actual use of AI systems, the awareness of associated risks, and the effectiveness of the established controls and requirements.
- Effectiveness Review: We assessed whether the defined measures for governing and monitoring AI applications had been effectively implemented and whether the intended objectives were being achieved.
The results of this comprehensive review are documented in this audit report, which identifies both the strengths and the opportunities for improvement within our AI Management System.

Valuations / Management report
First Management review on the establishment of the AI management system in accordance with ISO 42001
Click here
We have conducted an initial management review. In doing so, we reviewed the requirements of Chapter 9.3 of ISO 42001 step by step and assessed each of the specified review inputs. This initial management review provides an overview of the current implementation status of our AI Management System and identifies areas where improvement is needed. The categorization explains how the conclusions were reached.
- Comprehensive Analysis: We carried out a detailed evaluation of the implementation of our AI Management System, with particular focus on identified AI-related risks, impact assessments, achievement of our AI objectives, and the effectiveness of the measures that have been established.
- Effectiveness Review: We assessed whether the actions introduced to improve the responsible use of AI have been implemented effectively and whether they have achieved the intended results.
The results of this management review document both the strengths and the identified improvement opportunities within our AI Management System. They serve as a basis for future decisions and actions aimed at the continual improvement of the safe, transparent, and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence.
