AIMS retainer

Certification is the start, not the end. ISO 42001 certificates require annual surveillance audits, and every new model or AI feature needs to flow through your risk and impact process. We keep it running so your team can ship.

Questions

Can we start the retainer without your readiness engagement?

Yes. We begin with a short onboarding review of your existing AIMS documentation, then continue on the normal monthly cycle.

Can the retainer cover ISO 27001 too?

Yes. Many clients run an integrated management system, and we can perform combined internal audits for both standards.
