Gap Analysis
URM’s consultants can conduct gap analyses for existing management systems against the requirements of ISO 42001, to allow for the development or extension of an integrated management system encompassing ISO 42001 and other standards to which you are already conformant and/or certified. The gap analysis will also allow us to identify areas where you are currently meeting the best practice defined in ISO 42001, any areas where your use, provision or development of AI is not currently conformant, and where we recommend appropriate remediation approaches.
Whether you are at an early planning stage or preparing for audit and assurance activities, we offer a free introductory call to help you assess risks, responsibilities, and the most proportionate route forward. No obligation, just clear and practical advice.
Get in touch
You do not need a fully defined programme to speak with us. We offer a free, no‑obligation call to help you understand ISO 42001 requirements, assess your current AI governance maturity, and identify practical next steps. Early clarity can prevent unnecessary work and support confident compliance.

Please note, we can only process business email addresses.
Why URM for ISO 42001?
Track record
While ISO 42001 is a new standard, URM’s extensive experience in supporting organisations conform and certify to existing ISO management system standards, such as ISO 27001 and ISO 22301, means we are uniquely positioned to provide informed and reliable support in helping you meet the requirements of ISO 42001. Over the last two decades of steady, organic growth as a consultancy and training provider, we have supported over 400 successful ISO certifications without being involved in a single failed certification project. As such, you can be assured that any guidance you receive from URM is informed by a long history of success stories, and can guarantee the same result for your organisation.
Tailored solutions
We at URM appreciate that the use and development of AI will never be the same across any two organisations and, therefore, neither will the AIMS. The unique requirements of your organisation, its industry, size and structure, risk appetite, products and services provided, legal and obligatory requirements, etc. will always shape the approach we take in helping you develop, implement and maintain your AIMS. Meanwhile, we will ensure the advice and guidance we offer you reflects how you work and your existing culture, enabling you to integrate the AIMS into business-as-usual operations as seamlessly as possible.
Knowledge transfer
One of the most fundamental aspects of the way we work at URM is our ‘real world’ knowledge transfer philosophy. This enables you to benefit from our large team of consultants’ extensive practical experience and knowledge of AI best practice and, ultimately, independently maintain and improve your AIMS by virtue of what you have learned from them, without needing to rely on ongoing consultancy support.
