Engagement Model 3
Dual-Framework Certification: ISO/IEC 27001 & ISO/IEC 42001
Building a single management system that governs information security and artificial intelligence together.
This engagement model supports organisations seeking to achieve ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 42001 through a single, coherent programme.
For organisations without an existing ISMS, we develop a management system that integrates information security and AI governance from the outset. This approach prevents parallel frameworks, redundant controls, and conflicting ownership.
For organisations with ISO/IEC 27001, this model expands the existing ISMS to cover AI governance while maintaining current structures.
In both cases, the outcome is the same: one management system, one risk model, one governance structure, and a clear, defensible path to dual certification.
This model is suited to organisations that:
» Use or plan to implement AI in products, services, or operations.
» Aim to meet emerging regulatory and customer expectations.
» Prefer a unified, integrated governance approach.
» Require a clear, auditable path to certification.
The focus is on designing a unified operating model, rather than building two separate programs. This model governs:
» Information security
» Data and model risk
» AI use, development, and oversight
» Incident handling and escalation
» Accountability and review
Whether starting from the ground up or enhancing an existing ISMS, this engagement provides:
» A comprehensive management system aligned with both standards.
» An integrated risk assessment that addresses both security and AI.
» Policies and controls designed for single implementation, avoiding duplication.
» Clear ownership defined across leadership, product, and operations.
» An audit-ready structure that supports both certifications.
This isn’t a technology project. It’s an organisational operating model designed for companies that depend on data and AI and must demonstrate responsible, secure, and internationally compliant governance.
