Question 1

What is an ISO 42001 gap analysis?

Accepted Answer

A gap analysis compares your current AI management system against the ISO 42001 clauses and Annex A controls, then shows where you fall short. This self-assessment gives you a quick maturity score and a prioritised gap list, which a full gap analysis then confirms in detail.

Question 2

How ready do we need to be for ISO 42001 certification?

Accepted Answer

You need an AI policy owned by leadership, a defined scope, AI risk and impact assessments, clear roles, lifecycle controls and monitoring with internal audit and management review. The self-assessment scores you against these so you can see what is missing.

Question 3

How is the maturity score worked out?

Accepted Answer

Each answer carries a weight against the ISO 42001 clauses and Annex A. We sum your answers and express the total as a percentage of the maximum, then map it to a maturity band. Higher percentages mean you are closer to audit readiness.

Question 4

What happens after I get my score?

Accepted Answer

You see an instant maturity score, then the full gap list and priority actions by email once you add your work email and agree to the consent statement. From there a scoping call turns the gaps into a plan toward certification.
