AI governance and ISO 42001 readiness - built on top of your ISMS
Extend your existing ISO 27001 ISMS for ISO 42001-ready AI governance - reuse controls, unify evidence, reduce duplication.
If you are already ISO 27001-literate, you should not build a parallel management system for AI. AIBI Systems helps you extend your ISMS into practical, ISO 42001-aligned AI governance - with clear reuse / extend / new decisions, a unified risk story, and evidence-ready outputs.
Problem: AI governance becomes duplication
Most organisations treat AI governance and ISO 42001 as a separate programme. That creates duplicate controls, duplicate evidence, and duplicate governance - even when an ISMS already exists.
AI governance becomes a second management system
Teams duplicate policies, registers, committees, and templates - increasing audit burden and slowing AI delivery.
Evidence sprawl kills assurance
Evidence gets scattered across tools and teams. When leadership or internal audit asks for traceability, it becomes painful.
Principle: Build Once. Comply Twice.
Start with your ISMS. Reuse controls that already work, extend them where AI changes the risk, and add only what is new for AI lifecycle governance and ISO 42001 readiness.
Reuse
Keep proven controls and evidence that already satisfy security and assurance needs.
Extend
Adapt existing controls where AI changes the risk: data quality, testing, transparency, monitoring, and accountability.
New
Add only what is genuinely new for AI lifecycle governance - impact assessment, responsible use gates, and lifecycle evidence.
One evidence spine
One coherent structure for policies, risks, decisions, and evidence - ready for assurance and future certification.
System: a single structure from assessment to lifecycle control
AIBI Systems connects assessment, integration, governance, and action into one continuous operating model - built on top of your existing ISMS.
Assess
Start with Toolkit 1 to establish your current position and prioritised gaps.
Understand
Use Toolkit 2 to decide what you can reuse from your ISMS, what to extend for AI, and what is new - then build an integrated evidence spine.
Govern
Implement responsible use governance and core policy direction using Toolkit 3 and Toolkit 4.
Act
Operationalise lifecycle governance using Toolkit 5 and Toolkit 6.
Products: the toolkits
Each toolkit is a standalone product, designed to be used independently or as part of the full AIBI governance system.
AI Governance Starter Pack - Intake and triage
Define AI system ownership and purpose, run lightweight triage to set governance depth, and generate starter artefacts reusable for assurance and ISO 42001 alignment.
Toolkit 1 - AI Readiness Assessment
ISO 42001-aligned readiness baseline across governance, risk, data and lifecycle.
Toolkit 2 - ISO 27001 & ISO 42001 Integration Engine
Convert existing ISMS maturity into ISO 42001 control coverage using reuse / extend / new logic to build a unified evidence spine.
Toolkit 3 - AI Ethics & Responsible Use Toolkit
Practical, ISO 42001-ready responsible AI governance and decision workflow.
Toolkit 4 - Unified ISO 27001 & ISO 42001 Policy System
Issue a lean unified policy baseline written once for both standards - eliminate duplication and support cleaner audits.
Toolkit 5 - Unified AI & Security Risk System
Run one risk method for InfoSec and AI lifecycle risks - consistent scoring, treatments, and evidence hooks that plug into your evidence spine.
Toolkit 6 - AI Lifecycle Control System
Control AI from design to retirement with an ISO 42001-aligned inventory, AISIA workflow, and lifecycle evidence structure.
Outcomes: decision-ready, evidence-ready AI governance
AIBI Systems is designed to support leadership decisions, audit readiness, and real execution - not generic compliance artefacts.
Decision-ready clarity
Clear readiness position, prioritised gaps, and actionable sequencing.
Evidence-ready artefacts
Outputs designed for assurance, internal audit, and certification preparation.
Reduced duplication
Reuse proven ISMS controls and evidence to avoid running parallel governance programmes.
Lifecycle control
Governance embedded from design to retirement, with traceable decisions and evidence hooks.
