ISO 42001 Internal Audits

The enthusiasm and passion URM consultants have for their subject matter is clearly evident in every engagement. They always take care to ensure that the advice they deliver is understandable and actionable.

Once your AIMS has been implemented, URM can perform internal audits of your management system and controls to ensure they are operating effectively and meeting the requirements in ISO 42001.  URM’s auditors are not only skilled in audit techniques and knowledgeable about the subject of the audit, but can also provide the objectivity and impartiality required in the auditing process for conformance to the Standard.

We were incredibly impressed with our consultant’s attention to detail during the reworking of many documents and the in-year assessment last month. He stood up and had his finger on the pulse and was a great help. He is liked by our team, and we look forward to a long working relationship with him.

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.

It’s one thing having the required technical knowledge, it’s another thing for a consultant to apply that knowledge to the context of our organisation. To use a sporting analogy, we view cyber and information security as a marathon not a sprint. I am not a believer in doing everything all at once. Our approach has been risk based and incremental, remediating our biggest risks first before moving on. I believe this approach is far more sustainable and effective. And URM’s consultants fully understand this and are very pragmatic and tailored in their guidance and advice. They know we are not implementing ISO 27001 purely for the certificate, but more as a framework for continual improvement, and at a pace where new systems and processes can be fully understood and absorbed by our team and be business as usual.

The whole gap analysis process was very informative for all departments of the business. Our URM consultant was great at explaining the SOC2 audit process and what evidence may be required for each area. As a business, it has really assisted us in our implementation strategy and improving our compliance programme as a whole.
