Extending Your ISMS: A Practical Guide to ISO 42001 Certification

The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has introduced new risks, governance challenges, and accountability frameworks.

For many organisations already certified to ISO/IEC 27001, adopting ISO/IEC 42001 offers a natural next step — extending information security management to AI governance and management.

This session provides a clear and practical look at how the two standards align, where they differ, and how you can integrate your existing Information Security Management System (ISMS) with an AI Management System (AIMS).

In just 30 minutes, you’ll gain a good understanding of the high-level ISO 42001 requirements, how it complements your ISO 27001/ISMS implementation, and what steps your organisation can take to prepare for ISO 42001 certification.

Following the overview, join a live 45-minute expert panel discussion exploring real-world adoption, challenges, and success stories.
