Consulting

EU AI Act and ISO 42001 consulting from practitioners

We help you scope your obligations, close the gaps and build an AI management system that holds up in an audit, then hand it over running in AIMS or your own tools.

Consulting FAQ

Do we need to use AIMS to work with you?
No. Many engagements end with the programme in AIMS, but we can deliver into your existing GRC tool or documents.
Can you certify us to ISO/IEC 42001?
No. Certification is issued by an accredited certification body, and a consultant who prepares you should not also certify you. We get you ready for that audit.
Is this legal advice?
No. We provide regulatory and technical consulting. Where you need a legal opinion, we work alongside your counsel.
How do engagements start?
With a 30-minute call. If there is a fit, we follow up with a written scope, timeline and price.
