Build trust in your AI
Effective RM combines practical expertise in risk, cyber, data, technology and AI with certified ISO 42001 auditors. We move you to certification faster, keep your operations running smoothly and let innovation keep flowing.
From first principles to final audit, we help you stand-up—or tune-up your Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) that’s compliant, effective, effecient, and future-proof.
Artificial intelligence is transforming business, but it also raises unique governance, ethics, Security, and risk questions.
ISO/IEC 42001 is the world’s first certifiable standard that answers those questions by setting a comprehensive, lifecycle wide management framework for AI.
Why Effective RM
Practical AI governance pedigree: We have designed and build AI governace and risk assessment frameworks at multiple organisations. You will get advice proven in the real world, not slideware.
Certified auditors who code: ISO/IEC 42001 & 27001 Lead Auditors who also build GenAI prototypes and data pipelines. That means tighter scoping, sharper evidence sampling and fewer nasty surprises on audit day.
Faster to “ready” : Our AI Risk Rapid Framework pre maps every ISO 42001 clause, slashing analysis time and letting your team focus on closing high impact gaps.
End-to-end partnership: Gap analysis, implementation, staff training, mock audit and even post-cert continuous-improvement loops under one roof, no hand-offs, no finger-pointing.
Outcome over paperwork: We measure success in reduced incident response time, clearer board reporting and accelerated AI releases—not page counts.
20 + years in Enterprise Risk, Compliance, AI governance, Data and Cyber security: You get holistic insights and market proven strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Not yet—but regulators are signalling that formal AI risk management will become table-stakes. Acting early avoids a scramble later.
-
Yes. 27001 addresses information security; 42001 covers algorithmic transparency, data bias, human oversight and impact on society.
-
Anywhere from three to nine months depending on size, complexity and existing controls. Our roadmap phase clarifies this up-front.
-
It sets out a full management-system playbook for AI—everything from defining the scope of your AI work, assigning roles and policies, planning for risks and opportunities, providing resources, running day-to-day controls across the AI lifecycle, through to auditing, measuring performance and driving continual improvement.
