ISO Standards We Audit
Seven Standards. One trusted auditor.
AI Management
42001
ISO 42001:2023
The world’s first AI management system standard. Gap assessment, Stage 1 & Stage 2 audits, certification and surveillance — the most rigorous pathway available.
Multi-standard integrated certification — from Security + AI (ISO 27001 + 42001) to the flagship triple: Security, AI & Privacy. More efficient, more cost-effective, superior assurance breadth.
Our certification pathway is designed to be rigorous without being disruptive. Every audit follows a structured, transparent process — you know exactly what to expect at each stage.
1
Discovery & Scoping
We review your environment, define the certification scope, and deliver a clear readiness assessment with a realistic timeline.
2
Stage 1 — Documentation Review
Systematic review of your ISMS/AIMS documentation, policies, and control evidence against the applicable standard's requirements.
3
Stage 2 — On-Site Certification Audit
In-depth verification of implemented controls and their effectiveness — interviews, evidence sampling, technical validation, and process observation.
4
Certification & Surveillance
Certification recommendation, formal report, and structured annual surveillance audits to maintain certification validity.
Blended Bundle Programmes
Certify smarter, not harder.
Multi-standard certification completed concurrently — significantly reducing audit time, cost, and organisational disruption.
CRISCOD designs, governs and secures AI automation programmes — from agentic AI workflows to intelligent process automation, with built-in governance and risk controls from day one.
→AI Management & System Optimisation (ISO 42001)
→Information Security governance built-in from design
→Certified Lead Auditor oversight — no compliance gaps
Automation that is governed from day one — not retrofitted.
Most organisations bolt governance onto AI automation after the fact. CRISCOD uniquely embeds ISO 42001-aligned governance and adversarial security testing into every automation programme — before a single workflow goes live.
