Orgvue achieves ISO/IEC 42001 Certification for Artificial Intelligence Management

Independent certification reinforces Orgvue’s commitment to responsible AI, governance and trust in workforce decision-making.

Published by Orgvue 

Organizations are under growing pressure to adopt artificial intelligence while maintaining confidence that the technology is being used responsibly. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into workforce planning, organizational design and transformation activities, the need for robust governance, oversight and accountability has never been greater.

We are pleased to announce that Orgvue has achieved certification to ISO/IEC 42001:2023, the world’s first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS).

The certification provides independent assurance that Orgvue has established, implemented and maintains a structured framework for governing the development, deployment and operation of AI capabilities within our platform.

How ISO 42001 strengthens trust and governance in AI-powered workforce decision-making

AI is transforming how organizations understand their workforce, model future operating structures and evaluate transformation opportunities. However, as AI becomes more influential in decisions that affect people, organizations need confidence that appropriate controls, accountability and oversight are in place.

ISO/IEC 42001 was developed to help organizations manage the risks and opportunities associated with AI through a formal management system. The standard covers areas including:

  • Leadership accountability
  • AI risk management
  • Human oversight
  • Transparency
  • Data governance
  • Monitoring and continual improvement

Our certification demonstrates that AI governance at Orgvue is not an afterthought or standalone compliance exercise. It is embedded into how we design, manage and continuously improve AI-enabled capabilities across the platform.

What Orgvue’s ISO 42001 certification means for customers using AI

For our customers, the certification provides additional independent assurance that AI functionality within Orgvue is governed through defined policies, processes and controls.

Customers increasingly ask how AI systems are managed, how risks are assessed and what safeguards exist to support responsible use. ISO/IEC 42001 provides a recognised international framework for answering those questions.

The certification helps customers by providing:

  • Independent validation of our AI governance framework
  • Greater transparency around how AI capabilities are managed
  • Confidence that human oversight remains central to workforce decision-making
  • Evidence of our commitment to continual improvement and responsible AI practices
  • Support for customer due diligence and supplier assurance activities

While no certification can eliminate every risk associated with AI, it provides a structured and auditable framework for identifying, assessing and managing those risks.

Responsible AI governance by design: How Orgvue Manages AI risk and oversight

Orgvue’s AI capabilities are designed to support human decision-makers, not replace them.

Our approach focuses on ensuring that AI-assisted outputs remain reviewable, explainable and subject to appropriate oversight. Customers retain responsibility for their workforce decisions while benefiting from AI-powered insights, analysis and productivity improvements.

Governance of our AI Management System includes executive oversight, documented risk assessment processes, regular review activities and independent audit. These controls are designed to ensure that AI continues to operate within established risk tolerances and aligned with customer expectations, regulatory developments and emerging best practices.

Supporting AI compliance and trust through independent certification

ISO/IEC 42001 builds upon Orgvue’s established security, privacy and compliance programme.

Together with our existing assurance activities, the certification strengthens our ability to provide customers with confidence that their data and AI-enabled services are managed in a secure, transparent and accountable manner.

As regulatory expectations continue to evolve, including the implementation of the EU AI Act, we believe customers increasingly need evidence, not just promises, that AI is being governed responsibly.

ISO/IEC 42001 provides that evidence through independent assessment against an internationally recognised standard.
