Our Team's Experience Includes Projects With
A Clear Cadence of Proactive Management
Our service isn't a black box. We provide a structured, transparent process so your team always knows what's happening, what's next, and what's expected of them.
The Internal DIY Approach
AI Policy Isn't Governance: Most organizations respond to AI governance questions by drafting an AI policy. A document isn't a management system. Enterprise buyers and regulators expect structured, auditable governance that demonstrates how AI systems are developed, deployed, and monitored.
EU AI Act Exposure: The EU AI Act creates compliance obligations with real penalties. Companies without a governance framework are scrambling to interpret requirements and map obligations. ISO 42001 provides the structured response regulators and buyers expect.
Buyer Due Diligence: Enterprise buyers and investors are factoring AI risk into procurement and due diligence. Without ISO 42001, you're answering AI governance questions with ad-hoc responses instead of a certified management system.
The Truvo Approach
Expert-Led Process: We bring a proven 12-week plan covering AI system inventory, risk assessment, governance implementation, and certification body coordination. Your team knows exactly what to do and when.
Third-Party AI Governance: For companies using OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or open-source models, we build governance around what you can control: input validation, output monitoring, data handling, and vendor risk management.
Predictable Outcome, Fixed Price: We de-risk the entire process with a fixed timeline and a fixed price. Fixed timeline, fixed deliverables, no surprise change orders.
Our All-Inclusive 12-Week ISO 42001 Accelerator
We follow a proven process that covers every phase of ISO 42001 readiness, from initial AI system assessment through certification body coordination.
Detailed Assessment & Strategic Roadmap
What We Do
We kick off the engagement with a comprehensive inventory and classification of your AI systems. We assess each system for impact, autonomy, and data sensitivity, then run a gap assessment against ISO 42001 requirements to map your current state and identify what needs to be built.
What You Get
AI System Inventory: A structured inventory of all AI systems across your organization, classified by risk level, autonomy, data sensitivity, and business impact.
AI Risk Assessment: A formal risk assessment covering each AI system, with risks rated and mapped to ISO 42001 controls and your organization's risk appetite.
Gap Assessment Report: A detailed report identifying all gaps between your current AI governance posture and ISO 42001 requirements, with a prioritized remediation roadmap.
Custom Security Policy Development
What We Do
We build the governance foundation for your AIMS. This includes AI-specific policies covering responsible use, bias and fairness, transparency, and data governance. Every policy maps directly to ISO 42001 controls and your risk treatment plan.
What You Get
AIMS Policy Suite: AI governance policy, responsible AI use policy, bias and fairness policy, transparency policy, and data governance policy. Custom-written to reflect your actual AI operations.
Role and Responsibility Definitions for AI Oversight: Clear accountability assignments for AI governance, including oversight committees, model owners, and escalation paths for AI-related incidents.
GRC Platform Implementation & Automation
What We Do
We manage the selection, configuration, and integration of a GRC automation platform for AI-specific controls. We connect it to your infrastructure, configure AI-specific evidence collection, and set up continuous monitoring so your AIMS runs on cadence.
What You Get
Configured GRC Platform: Your chosen GRC tool set up with AI-specific control frameworks, integrated with your infrastructure, and configured for automated evidence collection.
Control Implementation & Remediation Guidance
What We Do
We translate policy into practice. We build the AI impact assessment methodology, implement bias monitoring and fairness controls, and establish third-party model governance for vendors like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.
What You Get
AI Impact Assessment Methodology: A repeatable framework for assessing AI system impact on individuals, groups, and society, aligned with ISO 42001 and EU AI Act requirements.
Third-Party AI Governance Framework: Policies and controls for managing AI vendor risk, including model evaluation criteria, data handling requirements, and ongoing monitoring obligations.
Penetration Testing & Vulnerability Management
What We Do
We manage the security testing of your AI systems, covering model endpoints, data pipelines, input validation, and output handling. We scope the assessment, coordinate with the testing firm, and ensure findings are remediated before the audit.
What You Get
AI Security Assessment Report: A formal, audit-ready report covering security testing of AI-specific attack surfaces, including prompt injection, data poisoning, model extraction, and API security.
Validated Controls: Proof that your AI security controls are operating effectively, with evidence of testing and remediation tracked in your GRC platform.
Internal & External Audit Management
What We Do
We coordinate with your chosen certification body, prepare your team for Stage 1 (documentation review) and Stage 2 (control effectiveness assessment), and run a pre-audit review with a focus on risk treatment, human oversight, and transparency requirements.
What You Get
Pre-Audit Review: A comprehensive internal review that mirrors the certification body's assessment process, identifying any remaining gaps before the auditor arrives.
Evidence Packages: Organized, audit-ready evidence packs mapped to every ISO 42001 control, including AI system documentation, risk assessments, and governance artifacts.
Certification Body Coordination: Stage 1 and Stage 2 scheduled with your certification body. Your team is prepared, evidence packs are organized, and there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
Any company building, deploying, or integrating AI. That includes SaaS companies with AI-powered features, organizations using third-party AI models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google), companies in scope for the EU AI Act, and any business fielding AI governance questions from enterprise buyers or investors.
ISO 42001 certification is one of the strongest signals of EU AI Act compliance readiness. The standard covers the same domains the Act regulates: risk assessment, human oversight, transparency, and data governance. It gives you a structured, auditable framework that maps directly to AI Act obligations.
Yes. Both standards share the same management system structure (Clauses 4-10), so your ISMS and AIMS can be integrated into a single system. This means a single integrated audit is possible, reducing duplication and audit fatigue.
Our entire team and infrastructure is in North America (Canada and United States). No data is sent offshore.
