Following the publication of ISO 42001, many organizations are more seriously considering adherence to this intriguing standard for artificial intelligence (AI). Those familiar with established ISO standards understand that this newer framework for regulating AI will be similarly rigorous and any opportunity to streamline certification, like using a gap assessment, will be enormously advantageous.

Like many of the other ISO standards, ISO 22301 features introductory clauses (1-3), and it also has its own fundamental clauses (4-10)—of these, clause 8 (Operation) is key to standing up the Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) and achieving ISO 22301 certification.

Having now grown into one of the world’s leading international security standards, ISO 27001 lays out the required criteria for taking a holistic approach to information security through the implementation and ongoing maintenance of an information security management system (ISMS).

The need for responsible, trustworthy, and ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI) has been a hot topic over the past couple of years, prompting the release of regulations such as NIST's AI Risk Management Framework to help organizations secure the evolving tech. Additional standards have emerged to address the need to implement safeguards addressing the security, safety, privacy, fairness, transparency, and data quality of AI systems throughout their life cycle—including ISO/IEC 42001.

If you own a cell phone, you likely know that Apple releases a new version of the iPhone virtually every year. But sometimes, the versions look so similar you wonder what the difference is between models and you have to go digging into the specs of each before you fork over your hard-earned dollars.

Introduction ISO/IEC 27001:2015 (ISO 27001) certification is becoming more of a conversation in most major businesses in the United States. To provide some depth, there was a 20% increase in ISO 27001 certificates maintained globally (comparing the numbers from 2014 to 2015 as noted in the recent ISO survey). As for North America, there was a 78% growth rate in ISO 27001 certificates maintained, compared to those in North America in 2014. So it is clear evidence that the compliance effort known as ISO 27001 is making its imprint on organizations in the United States. However, it’s just the beginning. Globally, there are 27,563 ISO 27001 certificates maintained, of which only 1247 are maintained in the United States; that is 4.5% of all ISO 27001 certificates.

As the world becomes increasingly digital, governments globally have taken measures to ensure the safety and security of their citizens' data.
