ISO 42001 Compliance Software
AI Management System. Narrate gives you everything you need to achieve and maintain certification — gap assessment, policy templates, evidence management, and AI-powered analysis.
What is ISO 42001?
ISO/IEC 42001 is the international standard for AI Management Systems (AIMS). It provides a framework for organisations that develop, provide, or use AI systems to manage AI-related risks responsibly. It covers governance, risk management, documentation, and continuous improvement of AI systems.
How Narrate helps with ISO 42001
Common ISO 42001 challenges
AI governance is new territory for most organisations. These hurdles are universal.
Brand-New Standard
Published in December 2023, ISO 42001 has limited implementation guidance. Most consultants are still learning it themselves.
AI System Inventory Complexity
Identifying, classifying, and documenting every AI system across your organisation — including third-party tools — is harder than it sounds.
Cross-Functional Coordination
AI governance spans engineering, legal, compliance, and leadership. Getting everyone aligned on risk appetite and controls requires structure.
Overlap with ISO 27001
Many organisations already hold 27001. Mapping shared controls and avoiding duplicate work across both standards is essential but tedious.
Key capabilities for ISO 42001
Purpose-built modules for AI management system implementation.
