Five phases:
- Assess. AI inventory and gap assessment against the standard.
- Implement. Design and build of the AI management system.
- Assure. Internal audit readiness.
- Certify. Certification preparation and coordination with accredited certification bodies.
- Sustain. Ongoing operation through surveillance audits and recertification cycles.
Where it works.
Public entities under national AI agendas, financial institutions answering supervisory expectations, and enterprises meeting AI questions in tenders and due diligence. Organizations already holding ISO 27001 or ISO 9001 typically start ahead; the gap assessment builds on existing management-system controls.
