blog.knowbe4.comhubfsiStock-1226700291At KnowBe4, everything we do is built on a foundation of innovation and trust. As we bring more artificial intelligence (AI) into our human risk management platform, we believe it’s essential to be transparent and responsible every step of the way.

That's why we're proud to announce that we are pursuing ISO 42001 certification, the world's first standard for managing AI systems.
 
This effort builds upon our robust security and privacy posture, joining our existing suite of certifications including ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 27017, and ISO 27018. This isn't just about adding another certification; it's about showing our continued commitment to the ethical and responsible use of technology in our products and our business.
 
So, what is ISO 42001? It is a comprehensive guide for making sure AI is developed and used responsibly. It addresses the big questions around AI, like fairness, transparency, accountability, and data privacy, providing a clear framework to manage them.

For our customers, our work toward this certification means peace of mind. It's third-party validation that our AI features are built on a solid ethical framework, backed by our long-standing dedication to international standards. Ultimately, it’s another way we’re showing our commitment to being a partner you can trust, one that’s on the front lines of cutting edge and responsible technology.
