OVERVIEW

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the international standard for AI Management Systems — a framework that helps organisations establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve their responsible use of artificial intelligence. It addresses governance, risk, transparency, and accountability for AI across the organisation.

FSET is one of a small number of Canadian managed service providers actively pursuing this certification. Alignment to ISO 42001 extends FSET’s existing ISO 27001:2022 information security governance to encompass AI-specific risks — including transparency of AI use in service delivery, accountability for AI-assisted decisions, and oversight of AI tools used by FSET staff.

For clients in law enforcement, healthcare, and government, AI governance is an emerging procurement consideration. FSET’s pursuit of ISO 42001 provides early, documented evidence of a structured approach to responsible AI — ahead of regulatory requirements that are expected to follow.
