ISO 42001 Readiness checklis

The ISO/IEC 42001 Readiness Checklist is a practical self-assessment resource designed to help organizations understand how prepared they are to establish an effective AI Management System (AIMS) and work toward ISO/IEC 42001 certification. It gives organizations a structured way to evaluate their current AI governance practices and identify areas that may require attention before beginning the formal certification journey.

Designed for organizations developing, providing, or using AI systems, the checklist helps turn ISO/IEC 42001 readiness into a more practical exercise rather than approaching certification without a clear picture of existing gaps. Teams can use it as an early-stage readiness tool to understand where they currently stand, identify priorities for improvement, and prepare for a more detailed gap analysis or readiness assessment.
