We were pleased to present one of the UK’s first ISO/IEC 42001 certificates to Brookcourt Solutions, confirming the award-winning cybersecurity company’s robust artificial intelligence (AI) management system (AIMS).
The certification, accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), was awarded following a comprehensive SGS audit of Brookcourt’s AI development practices, governance processes and risk management systems. ISO/IEC 42001 certification underscores the company’s commitment to responsible and transparent AI development and governance.
Mohammed Renu, Digital Trust Assurance Manager for SGS in the UK, said: “Brookcourt Solutions has done a great job putting responsible AI practices into action. Its team clearly understands what ISO/IEC 42001 is about and showed real commitment to meeting the standard’s requirements. It would be impossible without very strong leadership engagement. It is a great achievement and sets a strong example for others.”
SGS experts present Brookcourt representatives with their ISO/IEC 42001 certification.
Brookcourt’s certification program was led by Xcina Consulting, its parent company Shearwater Group's governance, risk and compliance advisory arm.
“We are incredibly proud that Brookcourt is one of the first UK organizations to achieve ISO/IEC 42001 certification. This milestone not only reinforces our commitment to ethical and responsible AI practices but also reflects the deep expertise within our group in setting industry standards for cybersecurity and digital governance. As AI continues to transform business, we are dedicated to ensuring it is deployed in a secure, transparent and human-centric manner,” said Phil Higgins, CEO of Shearwater Group.
“This achievement underscores Shearwater Group’s ongoing leadership in cybersecurity and responsible AI adoption. It also positions Xcina Consulting as a trusted partner for organizations aiming to adopt cutting-edge governance frameworks, as they seek to navigate new regulatory and technological landscapes. We encourage organizations looking to strengthen their AI governance to engage with our experienced team.”
