Overview
What is ISO 42001?
The international standard for responsible AI
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the world's first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS). Published in December 2023, it provides a framework for organizations to responsibly develop, deploy, and manage AI systems.
As AI regulation accelerates globally - including the EU AI Act, state laws in the US, and emerging frameworks in Asia - ISO 42001 certification demonstrates your commitment to responsible AI and helps you stay ahead of compliance requirements.

Compliance that actually improves your security
Most platforms give you a checklist. We give you a security posture you can prove - continuously, automatically, and in the open.
- Evidence that's never stale
- Most platforms rely on manual screenshots and spreadsheets. By the time you collect evidence, something has already regressed. We pull evidence continuously from 500+ integrations - every config, every screenshot, every log - so your compliance posture reflects reality, not last quarter.
- Integration platform on GitHub
- Policies written for your business, not a template
- Other platforms hand you generic policy documents and call it done. We generate every policy from the context you provide during onboarding - your stack, your processes, your risk tolerance. No two customers get the same boilerplate.
- A device agent that never sleeps
- A checklist doesn't stop a misconfigured laptop at 2am. Our open-source device agent runs 24/7 on every employee machine - checking disk encryption, firewall status, screen lock, password length, and antivirus. Failures are flagged instantly, not discovered during the next audit cycle.
- Device agent on GitHub
- Automated tests you can write yourself
- Say "show me that SSL is active on my domain" and it generates an automated test that runs daily. Or give it browser instructions - "go to our GitHub repo, click settings, verify branch protection rules" - and AI opens a browser, verifies the control, and screenshots the result. Every evidence piece is auditable and logged.
- Trust portals that reflect reality
- Most trust centers are static marketing pages. Ours is live-monitored - only published policies appear, and only verified controls are shown. The moment a policy is marked as draft or a control fails, it's removed automatically. What your customers see is what you actually have.
- View ours
- Open source and verifiable
- Most compliance platforms are black boxes - you trust them because you have to. We're fully open source. Every agent, every integration, every check is auditable on GitHub. You don't take our word for it, you verify it.

Don't let compliance slow down your pipeline
AI agents automate the busywork - evidence collection, monitoring, audit prep - so your team can focus on closing deals.
