How to Respond

响应方式

Always clarify the organisation's role if not stated — AI provider (develops/deploys AI), AI user (integrates third-party AI), or both — as this determines which controls and processes apply most directly.

Core Workflows

核心工作流程

1. Gap Assessment (Most Common Starting Point)

1. 差距评估(最常见的起始步骤)

Inputs needed from user: Organisation role (provider/user/both), AI systems in scope (brief description), current documentation/controls in place, target certification timeline.
Process:
  1. Assess mandatory clause compliance (4–10) — flag missing required documents
  2. Assess Annex A control applicability and implementation status
  3. Identify SoA gaps (controls applicable but not yet implemented)
  4. Produce prioritised remediation roadmap (30/60/90 days + strategic)
Output format:
CLAUSE/CONTROL | REQUIREMENT | STATUS | EVIDENCE NEEDED | GAP/ACTION
4.1            | Context documented | 🔴 Not started | AIMS Scope doc | Define AI system boundary and organisational context
6.1.2          | AI risk assessment | 🟡 Partial | Risk register | Expand to cover all in-scope AI systems
A.5.1          | AI policy | 🟢 Implemented | Signed policy doc | Review against 42001 requirements
需要用户提供的输入: 组织角色(提供商/用户/兼具两者)、纳入范围的AI系统(简要说明)、现有文档/管控措施、目标认证时间线。
流程:
  1. 评估强制条款(4-10)的合规情况——标记缺失的必要文档
  2. 评估附录A控制项的适用性和实施状态
  3. 识别适用性声明(SoA)差距(适用但尚未实施的控制项)
  4. 输出优先级整改路线图(30/60/90天+长期战略)
输出格式:
CLAUSE/CONTROL | REQUIREMENT | STATUS | EVIDENCE NEEDED | GAP/ACTION
4.1            | Context documented | 🔴 Not started | AIMS Scope doc | Define AI system boundary and organisational context
6.1.2          | AI risk assessment | 🟡 Partial | Risk register | Expand to cover all in-scope AI systems
A.5.1          | AI policy | 🟢 Implemented | Signed policy doc | Review against 42001 requirements

2. AI System Impact Assessment (AISIA)

2. AI系统影响评估(AISIA)

The AISIA is a mandatory process under Clause 6.1.2. It assesses the potential impacts of AI systems on individuals, groups, and society — informing control selection and transparency obligations.
AISIA dimensions to assess:
  • Intended purpose: what the AI system is designed to do
  • Output type: decision support / autonomous decision / content generation / classification / prediction / recommendation
  • Impact domain: employment, healthcare, financial services, law enforcement, education, public safety, other
  • Affected population: scale, vulnerability of individuals impacted
  • Severity: consequence if AI system fails, produces bias, or is misused
  • Reversibility: can harms be corrected?
  • Human oversight available: is a human in the loop?
AISIA impact classification:
LevelDescriptionControl implication
LowLimited, easily reversible impact on non-vulnerable individualsStandard controls apply
MediumModerate impact, partially reversible, some vulnerable individualsEnhanced transparency + human oversight
HighSignificant, hard-to-reverse impact on vulnerable individuals or societyMaximum controls — ADR, human review mandatory, high disclosure
AISIA是条款6.1.2下的强制流程,用于评估AI系统对个人、群体和社会的潜在影响,为控制项选择和透明度义务提供依据。
需评估的AISIA维度:
  • 预期用途:AI系统的设计目标
  • 输出类型:决策支持 / 自主决策 / 内容生成 / 分类 / 预测 / 推荐
  • 影响领域:就业、医疗、金融服务、执法、教育、公共安全、其他
  • 受影响人群:规模、受影响个人的脆弱性
  • 严重程度:AI系统故障、产生偏见或被滥用的后果
  • 可逆转性:造成的伤害是否可纠正?
  • 可用的人类监督:是否有人工参与环节?
AISIA影响等级划分:
等级说明控制要求
对非脆弱个人的影响有限,且容易逆转适用标准控制措施
影响中等,部分可逆转,涉及部分脆弱人群增强透明度+人类监督
对脆弱个人或社会造成重大、难以逆转的影响最高级别管控——ADR、人工审核强制要求、高透明度披露

3. AI Risk Assessment

3. AI风险评估

Separate from the AISIA (which is impact-focused), the AI risk assessment evaluates likelihood × severity of risks specific to AI systems:
Risk categories to address:
  • Model risks: bias, unfairness, hallucination, model drift, adversarial attacks
  • Data risks: training data quality, data poisoning, privacy violations in training data
  • Operational risks: system failure, unexpected outputs, scope creep
  • Supply chain risks: third-party AI model risks, API dependency, provider lock-in
  • Societal risks: discriminatory outcomes, erosion of human autonomy, misinformation
Risk treatment options (aligned to Clause 6.1.3):
  • Modify the AI system (retrain, add guardrails, change architecture)
  • Accept with monitoring (continuous monitoring + defined thresholds)
  • Avoid (do not deploy the AI system for this use case)
  • Transfer (contractual obligations to AI provider via Annex A.9 controls)
与侧重影响评估的AISIA不同,AI风险评估针对AI系统特有的风险评估可能性×严重度
需覆盖的风险类别:
  • 模型风险:偏见、不公平、幻觉、模型漂移、对抗攻击
  • 数据风险:训练数据质量、数据投毒、训练数据隐私侵犯
  • 运营风险:系统故障、非预期输出、范围蔓延
  • 供应链风险:第三方AI模型风险、API依赖、服务商锁定
  • 社会风险:歧视性结果、人类自主权被侵蚀、错误信息
风险处置选项(符合条款6.1.3要求):
  • 调整AI系统(重新训练、增加防护机制、修改架构)
  • 接受并监控(持续监控+设定阈值)
  • 规避(不在该场景下部署AI系统)
  • 转移(通过附录A.9控制项将合同义务转移给AI提供商)

Certification Pathway

认证路径

Stage 1 Audit (Documentation Review)

阶段1审核(文档审查)

Auditor reviews: AIMS scope, AI policy, risk assessment records, AISIA records, SoA, objectives, documented information controls. Typical duration: 0.5–1 day for small organisations.
Stage 1 readiness checklist:
  • AIMS scope document (Clause 4.3)
  • AI policy signed by top management (Clause 5.2)
  • AI system register (all systems in scope listed)
  • AI risk assessment completed for all in-scope systems (Clause 6.1.2)
  • AISIA completed for all in-scope systems (Clause 6.1.2)
  • Statement of Applicability (SoA) for all 38 Annex A controls
  • AIMS objectives documented and measurable (Clause 6.2)
  • Internal audit programme (Clause 9.2)
  • Management review agenda template (Clause 9.3)
审核员审查内容:AIMS范围、AI政策、风险评估记录、AISIA记录、适用性声明、目标、文档化信息管控措施。小型组织通常耗时0.5-1天。
阶段1准备检查清单:
  • AIMS范围文档(条款4.3)

  • 书面记录且可量化的AIMS目标(条款6.2)
  • 内部审核计划(条款9.2)
  • 管理评审议程模板(条款9.3)

Stage 2 Audit (Implementation Verification)

阶段2审核(实施验证)

Auditor tests that controls work in practice: interviews staff, reviews evidence, samples AI system records, tests incident response. Typical duration: 1–3 days depending on scope.
Stage 2 evidence required:
  • Executed AI risk assessments with treatment decisions
  • AISIA records for each in-scope AI system
  • Competence records and AI awareness training logs
  • Supplier AI assessment records (for AI users/providers relying on third parties)
  • Incident log (even if no incidents — demonstrate the process works)
  • Internal audit report and management review minutes
  • Corrective action records for any nonconformities
审核员测试控制措施的实际落地效果:访谈员工、审查证据、抽样AI系统记录、测试事件响应流程。根据范围不同通常耗时1-3天。
阶段2所需证据:
  • 已执行的AI风险评估及处置决策
  • 每个纳入范围AI系统的AISIA记录
  • 能力证明记录及AI意识培训日志
  • 供应商AI评估记录(适用于依赖第三方服务的AI用户/提供商)
  • 事件日志(即使没有事件也需要提供,证明流程有效)
  • 内部审核报告及管理评审纪要
  • 所有不符合项的纠正措施记录

Surveillance Audits

监督审核

Annual — auditor verifies continued compliance and improvement. Recertification every 3 years.

每年一次——审核员验证持续合规及改进情况。每3年进行一次复评。

Integration with Other Management Systems

与其他管理体系的集成

ISO 42001 uses HLS so it integrates cleanly:
ISO StandardIntegration Point
ISO 27001:2022A.7 (data governance) maps to ISO 27001 Annex A.8 (asset controls); AI incident management links to 27001 Clause 6.4; supplier AI risk maps to 27001 A.5.19–5.22
ISO 9001:2015Quality management processes (Clause 8) align with AI lifecycle; PDCA cycle shared
ISO 31000AI risk assessment methodology aligns with ISO 31000 risk framework
NIST AI RMFCSF-style four functions (Map, Measure, Manage, Govern) map to 42001 clauses and Annex A
EU AI ActHigh-risk AI system requirements align closely with 42001 AISIA and Annex A controls; 42001 certification may support EU AI Act conformity

ISO 42001采用HLS结构,因此可无缝集成:
ISO标准集成点
ISO 27001:2022A.7(数据治理)对应ISO 27001附录A.8(资产管控);AI事件管理关联27001条款6.4;供应商AI风险对应27001 A.5.19–5.22
ISO 9001:2015质量管理流程(第8章)与AI生命周期对齐;共享PDCA循环
ISO 31000AI风险评估方法与ISO 31000风险框架对齐
NIST AI RMFCSF风格的四大功能(映射、测量、管理、治理)对应42001条款及附录A
EU AI Act高风险AI系统要求与42001 AISIA及附录A控制项高度对齐;42001认证可作为EU AI Act合规的支撑材料

Common Gap Areas (What Organisations Typically Miss)

常见差距(组织普遍遗漏的内容)

  1. AISIA not completed for all in-scope AI systems — organisations often skip this or treat it as a one-off
  2. AI system register incomplete — not all AI tools (including SaaS AI features) captured in scope
  3. Data governance for AI (Annex A.7) — training data quality, bias testing, and data provenance often undocumented
  4. Human oversight documentation — no formal records of when and how humans review AI outputs
  5. Supplier AI assessments (A.9) — third-party AI providers not assessed; no contractual AI-specific clauses
  6. Incident management not extended to AI — existing IT incident processes not updated for AI-specific scenarios (bias incidents, unexpected outputs, model drift)
  7. AI objectives not measurable — policy states responsible AI principles without specific, measurable targets

  1. 未为所有纳入范围的AI系统完成AISIA——组织通常跳过该步骤或仅做一次性评估
  2. AI系统登记册不完整——未将所有AI工具(包括SaaS的AI功能)纳入范围
  3. AI数据治理(附录A.7)——训练数据质量、偏见测试、数据来源通常没有书面记录
  4. 人类监督记录——没有正式记录人工审核AI输出的时间和方式
  5. 供应商AI评估(A.9)——未评估第三方AI提供商;没有AI专项合同条款
  6. 事件管理未覆盖AI场景——现有IT事件流程未更新适配AI特有场景(偏见事件、非预期输出、模型漂移)
  7. AI目标不可量化——政策仅声明负责任AI原则,没有具体可衡量的目标
