WASHINGTON, DC (December 8, 2025) –InterSec is proud to announce that we have achieved the ISO/IEC 42001 certification, the world’s first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS).

This certification confirms that InterSec as an organization has established and maintains a disciplined, traceable, standards driven auditable framework for governing the use of AI across its people, processes, and services.

ISO/IEC 42001 verifies that AI at InterSec operates under clear policies, defined roles, enforced controls, and human oversight, ensuring that every AI-enabled outcome remains safe, ethical, and aligned with mission objectives.

As an early adopter of ISO/IEC 42001, InterSec  demonstrates an AI frontier organization – one that leads in how organizations govern, scale, and operationalize AI responsibly.

Raising the Bar for Responsible AI Use

ISO/IEC 42001 certification recognizes that InterSec  operates with the maturity, discipline, and structure required to manage AI responsibly – independent of any specific model, vendor, or technology stack.

InterSec governs AI with the same rigor applied to any mission-critical capability: structured oversight, accountability, and continuous monitoring. At InterSec, AI is treated as an organizational capability, not a side experiment: it is introduced, evaluated, monitored, and improved under clear policies, defined roles, and measurable controls.

This governance applies consistently whether AI is used internally to empower employees, embedded into solutions delivered to customers, or integrated into complex digital ecosystems.

This approach allows InterSec to innovate with AI at pace while sustaining the digital trust expected by employees, customers, and partners – especially across public sector and regulated environments where transparency and auditability are essential.

“ISO/IEC 42001 validates that  InterSec governs AI with the same rigor and discipline we expect of any mission-critical capability,” said Sam Reddy, Chief AI Officer, InterSec. “Now – we are extending that maturity to our customers – helping them accelerate AI innovation with the confidence, control, and transparency that regulators, boards, and end users increasingly demand.”

Trusted AI-Driven and AI-Embedded Capabilities

With ISO/IEC 42001 as its foundation, InterSec can confidently design and deliver AI-driven and AI-embedded capabilities where AI is the engine – and humans remain firmly in control of outcomes.

AI use at InterSec is:

  • Policy-driven – Guided by organization-wide policies and procedures for AI adoption and use.
  • Governed and accountable – With clear ownership, defined decision rights, and human-in-the-loop oversight for high-impact use cases.
  • Auditable and explainable – Built so that AI-enabled workflows and outcomes can be reviewed, justified, and continuously improved.

This disciplined approach ensures that AI enhances mission execution without compromising responsibility, safety, or transparency.

What This Means for Customers and Partners

For customers and partners, InterSec’s ISO/IEC 42001 certification is more than a badge – it is a capability you can leverage.

It provides confidence that any AI used within InterSec’s services is governed under a formally documented and independently audited system prioritizing safety, ethics, and compliance.

InterSec  now offers ISO/IEC 42001-aligned services to help organizations:

  • Assess their current AI use and governance readiness
  • Design and implement an AI Management System tailored to their context
  • Establish policies, roles, controls, and human-in-the-loop and quality gate(s)
  • Prepare for external audits and certification
  • Embed responsible AI operations into everyday workflows

InterSec not only runs its own AI responsibly but also partners with customers to build the same level of discipline and trust into their environments – from initial strategy through implementation and certification readiness.
