Built by AI governance practitioners, for AI governance practitioners.
ai42001.ai is on a mission to make ISO/IEC 42001 readiness measurable, comparable, and accessible — for organizations of every size, in every region.
What is ai42001.ai
ai42001.ai is a global online platform for AI governance assessment, built around ISO/IEC 42001 — the international standard for AI management systems.
We offer three integrated services — a free self-assessment, an in-depth assessment report with global benchmarks, and production-ready templates with daily AI threat intelligence. Our initial focus is AI Risk Management, expanding into additional AI governance domains as the ecosystem matures.
What makes us different isn’t a single product — it’s a data asset. Every assessment contributes anonymously to a growing benchmark dataset that no individual consultant or framework can replicate.
Built by an ISO Certified Auditor
ai42001.ai was founded by Sang-Rok Yeo, an IT governance consultant and certified ISO auditor — ISO/IEC 42001, 27001, 27701, 20000, and 22301.
Sang-Rok has spent years helping organizations across Korea and beyond navigate ISO management system certification — first as a consultant designing implementation programs, then as an auditor through an accredited certification body.
ai42001.ai was born from a simple observation: organizations are eager to assess their AI governance maturity, but objective, benchmarked comparison data is scarce. Subjective consulting opinions are common; data-driven peer benchmarks are rare.
We built ai42001.ai to fill that gap.
Operated by ITG insights
ai42001.ai is operated under ITG insights — Sang-Rok’s IT governance consulting practice specializing in ISO management system standards (ISO/IEC 42001, 27001, 27701, 20000, 22301).

ai42001.ai is our global, online-only platform — designed to make AI governance assessment accessible to anyone, anywhere.
Our Commitments
Confidentiality
Individual assessment data is never disclosed. Aggregated benchmarks are anonymized in line with ISO 17021-1 audit confidentiality principles.
Independence
ai42001.ai operates independently of any certification body, accreditor, or consultancy contract. Our recommendations don't lead to "now buy our consulting" pitches.
Transparency
Our assessment methodology is documented and version-controlled. When our scoring approach evolves, we tell you.
Data Minimization
We collect only what is required for the assessment. Personal identifiers are never mandatory.
Standards & Methodology
Rooted in International Standards
Our assessments are built on a foundation of recognized international standards:
- ISO/IEC 42001 — Information technology · Artificial intelligence · Management system
- ISO/IEC 42001 Annex A — AI-specific controls reference
- ISO/IEC 27701 — Privacy Information Management, where AI systems process personal data
- ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42 — the broader AI standards subcommittee body of work, including ISO/IEC 23894 (AI Risk Management) and ISO/IEC 38507 (AI Governance Implications)
- ISO 19011 — auditing methodology principles
Each assessment item maps to a specific normative reference. You always know what is being asked, and why.

Why We Built This
The Benchmark Gap
ISO/IEC 42001 was published in December 2023 — the world’s first auditable management system standard for AI.
In the early years of any new standard, the most valuable insight isn’t available in books or frameworks. It lives across the early adopters who are learning what works and what doesn’t, in real time.
ai42001.ai exists to capture that collective learning — anonymously, ethically, and rigorously — and make it available as a benchmark for everyone navigating AI governance maturity.
