Research
The primary research underlying Axiom Advisory's ISO 42001 practice and EU AI Act readiness work. All reports are free to download.
Article-by-article map of the EU AI Act onto ISO 42001 clauses and Annex A controls, with explicit gap calls on the conceptual engineering work ISO 42001 does not cover (model-level concept hygiene, definitional drift monitoring, principle-based human oversight).
Download PDFCost benchmarks across 60+ ISO 42001 implementations: ranges from $15K–$30K SMB to $350K–$650K enterprise, with scope layered on org size. Annual surveillance runs 20–30% of initial certification cost — budget as operating expense, not project.
Download PDFAdoption data and procurement signal as of Q2 2026. Under 350 organizations certified worldwide; 40% faster certification for issuers already holding ISO 27001. Coverage of the gap between certificate-holders and operating AIMSes.
Download PDFComparative landscape of the 40+ active ISO 42001 advisory firms: Big 4 breadth, specialist boutiques, and the emerging mid-tier. Evaluated against AIMS-as-living-system criteria, against deadline pressure around the August 2026 EU AI Act enforcement date.
Download PDFSynthesis of the AI Now Institute 2025 landscape report, mapped to the procurement questions ISO 42001 buyers should be asking vendors. Includes the conceptual engineering shock points the original report flags.
Download PDFSynthesis of PAI's 2024–2025 governance output, mapped to the operational requirements an AIMS imposes on a high-risk AI system. Includes the gaps PAI itself flags where it overlaps and where it does not with formal conformity regimes.
Download PDFAI governance practices adjacent to Axiom Advisory: large GRC platforms, philosophy-led AI safety groups, public-interest AI orgs. Mapped on conceptual depth, ISO 42001 capacity, and EU AI Act readiness.
