ISO 42001 Certified Companies: The Living List of Verified Certifications

Below is the running list of publicly confirmed ISO 42001 certified companies that have either announced certification via their own press release, named a specific certification body, or been named by an accredited CB as a customer. Every entry has a primary source URL. We do not list companies for which we could not find a primary or named-firm source.

For the canonical, structured, frequently-updated version of this list with detailed metadata, see our ISO 42001 certified companies resource page. This article is the editorial walk-through.

The ground truth on ISO 42001

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 was published on December 18, 2023 by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42 (AWS). It is the management-system standard for AI governance, parallel in structure to ISO/IEC 27001 for information security. Certification is granted by third-party certification bodies that are themselves accredited under ISO/IEC 42006:2025 by national accreditation bodies such as ANAB, UKAS, and RvA.

A certificate is only as good as the CB and the accreditation behind it. Buyers should ask which CB issued the cert, which accreditation body recognised the CB, and what the certificate scope covers (the AIMS scope is narrower than the entire company in most cases). We surface the CB for each entry below where it is publicly disclosed.

Verified ISO 42001 certifications

Amazon Web Services (AWS) was the first major cloud service provider to achieve ISO 42001 accredited certification, announced November 25, 2024. The certified scope covers Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Q Business, Amazon Textract, and Amazon Transcribe. The certification body is Schellman Compliance, LLC, ANAB-accredited. AWS completed its first surveillance audit in November 2025 with no findings (AWS announcement / AWS surveillance update).

Microsoft holds ISO 42001 certification for multiple AI services including GitHub Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Microsoft Security Copilot, and Microsoft Foundry.

Common questions

How many companies are certified to ISO 42001 overall? Public estimates from CBs and press releases through April 2026 suggest more than 350 organisations globally hold ISO 42001 certificates, with the number rising sharply through 2026 as accredited CBs scale up audit capacity. The publicly named list above is necessarily a subset.

Which certification body should I use? It depends on your jurisdiction and buyer expectations. For US enterprise buyers, ANAB-accredited CBs such as Schellman, A-LIGN, and Coalfire are most commonly accepted. For UK and EU buyers, BSI's UKAS plus RvA dual accreditation is the highest current bar. For EU-specific procurement, RvA or AENOR accreditation may be required. See our ISO 42006 explainer for the accreditation map.

Is ISO 42001 enough on its own? No. ISO 42001 is a management-system standard. It demonstrates governance maturity. It does not certify any specific model's safety, accuracy, or fairness. Enterprise buyers should pair an ISO 42001 cert with model-level testing, SOC 2 Type II for security, and where relevant, ISO 27701 for privacy.

Why is my favourite AI vendor not on this list? Either we have not found a primary or named-CB source for their cert, or they hold an unaccredited certificate from a CB without ISO 42006 accreditation. Both are worth asking about. We will add any company that surfaces a verifiable source.

How we maintain this list

We refresh this list monthly. Sources must be (i) the company's own press release, (ii) the certification body's customer announcement, or (iii) a public ISO certificate document. LinkedIn posts and analyst commentary alone do not qualify. If we cannot tie a claim to one of those three buckets, the company is excluded.

If you are at a certified company and we missed you, or your scope changed, we want to hear about it. The full structured list with metadata, certification dates, CB names, and verification status lives at our ISO 42001 resource page. To explore the broader market, see our best ISO 42001 software roundup and our NIST AI RMF vs ISO 42001 comparison.

A closing caveat. ISO 42001 certificates have a finite scope. A certificate covering one product line does not automatically extend to other business units. When evaluating a vendor's cert, read the scope statement on the certificate itself, not the marketing summary.
