Control Implementation. Responsible AI embedded in your workflows.

Designing an AI Management System is only half the work. The controls need to be implemented, tested, and embedded into how your organisation actually operates. We handle the technical and organisational implementation so your AIMS works in practice, not just on paper.

What We Deliver

Six implementation workstreams. Controls that actually work.

Annex A Control Implementation

Implementation of all applicable ISO 42001 Annex A controls, including AI system lifecycle controls, data controls, and human oversight mechanisms.

Technical Control Deployment

Deployment of technical controls including model monitoring, bias detection tooling, access controls for AI systems, and audit logging.

Process Embedding

Integration of AI governance processes into your existing development, procurement, and deployment workflows so controls are followed by default.

Staff Awareness and Training

Targeted awareness training for staff involved in AI development, deployment, and oversight, covering their responsibilities under the AIMS.

Evidence Collection Framework

A structured approach to collecting and retaining the evidence your certification body will require to verify control effectiveness at audit.

Control Effectiveness Testing

Testing of implemented controls before the internal audit to identify any gaps in effectiveness and resolve them ahead of the certification audit.

Our Process

From control mapping to audit-ready evidence. Six structured steps.

01

Control Mapping

We map each required control from your AIMS design to the specific technical or organisational action needed to implement it.

02

Implementation Planning

We build a detailed implementation plan with owners, timelines, and dependencies, sequenced to minimise disruption to your operations.

03

Technical Control Deployment

We deploy technical controls directly or work alongside your engineering team to implement them within your existing infrastructure.

04

Process Integration

We work with your operations and development teams to embed AI governance processes into existing workflows, making compliance the path of least resistance.

05

Staff Training Delivery

We deliver targeted training sessions for all staff with AI governance responsibilities, covering their specific obligations under the AIMS.

06

Evidence Package Preparation

We compile the evidence package required for your certification audit, ensuring every control has documented evidence of effective operation.

UK Use Cases

Controls implemented. Audits passed.

Technology

AI startup control programme

A UK AI startup needed to implement ISO 42001 controls across their model development pipeline without slowing their release cadence. We embedded controls into their CI/CD pipeline and MLOps tooling, making compliance automatic rather than manual.

Professional Services

Consulting firm AI controls

A management consultancy using AI for data analysis and report generation needed controls that worked across a distributed workforce. We implemented a combination of technical controls in their Microsoft 365 environment and process controls embedded in their project management framework.

Logistics

Logistics AI governance

A UK logistics company using AI for route optimisation and demand forecasting needed controls that satisfied both ISO 42001 and their enterprise client requirements. We implemented a control set that addressed both, reducing the compliance burden on their operations team.

Start Phase 4

Implement controls that work in practice. Not just on paper.

Our control implementation service delivers a fully operational AIMS with every control tested and evidenced. We work alongside your team to embed responsible AI practices into your existing workflows without disrupting your operations.
