The problem

Certification is turning into a condition of doing business.

Enterprises are adding ISO 42001 to their procurement checklists, the EU AI Act is now enforced, and the usual answer — hiring a consultant — costs more than most mid-market teams can justify. So companies delay, and risk losing deals.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Do you issue the ISO 42001 certificate?

No. Only accredited certification bodies (e.g. BSI, LRQA, DNV) can certify. Govern42 gets you ready — the assessment, documents and evidence — so your audit goes smoothly. We are not a certification body.

Is this legal advice?

No. Govern42 provides regulatory information and practical readiness guidance for planning. It is not legal advice. For binding decisions, consult a qualified professional.

How much cheaper than a consultant?

Implementation consulting alone typically starts around $20,000. Govern42 productizes the same readiness work into a self-serve subscription at a fraction of that.

What does it cost?

The readiness self-assessment is free. Paid subscription pricing will be announced to the waitlist first.
