ISO 42001 Gap Analysis: What to Check Before Starting Certification

An ISO 42001 gap analysis compares how you govern AI today with what ISO/IEC 42001:2023 requires. Do it before you commit to audit dates. You’ll learn what’s missing, what you can’t yet prove and what to fix first. Quick answer What it is: a structured review of your AI management system (AIMS) against ISO/IEC 42001:2023 clauses 4–10 and the applicable Annex A controls. Is it mandatory? No. The standard requires an internal audit and management review, not a gap analysis.

ISO 42001 vs ISO 27001: What Can You Reuse for AI Management?

The more important question is whether these elements operate together as an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) — and whether you can demonstrate that with evidence. Before asking: “How quickly can we get ISO 42001 certified?”

NIS2 and GDPR Compliance: How European Companies Can Reduce Duplicate Compliance Efforts

NIS2 and GDPR cannot be merged into one legal obligation, but much of the compliance work behind them can be consolidated. Organisations can use one control framework, shared asset and risk information, common supplier assessments and a single incident record while maintaining separate legal registers and notification workflows. The key is to consolidate evidence and operational processes — not the obligations themselves.

CRA Compliance Gap Assessment: How to Identify Your Compliance Gaps

A CRA compliance gap assessment compares what your organization does with what Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 requires. It reviews each product and each role. It then produces a prioritized list of shortfalls. The list includes named owners, evidence pointers, and dates. It is not a conformity assessment. A conformity assessment decides whether a product may carry the CE marking. A gap assessment tells you whether you would survive one.
