ISO/IEC 42001 · AIMS
The world's first AI management system certification - done in months, not years.
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the first international standard for an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS). Hootleash automates the AIMS scope, the AI policy, the model registry, the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle - and runs your audit dry-run.

By 2026
The de facto AI governance standard for the EU and regulated markets.
By 2026, ISO/IEC 42001 has become the working baseline for any enterprise selling AI-enabled products into the EU or regulated industries. Buyers expect it; auditors test for it; insurers price for it.
