Gap Analysis

Without doubt, URM helped us to achieve our planned objectives a lot sooner than expected. The engagement was a huge success and couldn’t have gone any better.

URM’s consultants can conduct gap analyses for existing management systems against the requirements of ISO 42001, to allow for the development or extension of an integrated management system encompassing ISO 42001 and other standards to which you are already conformant and/or certified.  The gap analysis will also allow us to identify areas where you are currently meeting the best practice defined in ISO 42001, any areas where your use, provision or development of AI is not currently conformant, and where we recommend appropriate remediation approaches.

Our URM consultant was really thorough, genuinely helpful and contributed real value literally within the first few minutes of our session by pointing out some (not-so-obvious) details of the new version of ISO 27001 that we hadn't been aware of until then. He then proceeded with a very well-prepared run-through and explanation of the controls in scope for our upcoming internal audit. Definitely a highlight and overall, very positive experience for us!

Why URM for ISO 42001?

Track record

While ISO 42001 is a new standard, URM’s extensive experience in supporting organisations conform and certify to existing ISO management system standards, such as ISO 27001 and ISO 22301, means we are uniquely positioned to provide informed and reliable support in helping you meet the requirements of ISO 42001.  Over the last two decades of steady, organic growth as a consultancy and training provider, we have supported over 400 successful ISO certifications without being involved in a single failed certification project.  As such, you can be assured that any guidance you receive from URM is informed by a long history of success stories, and can guarantee the same result for your organisation.  

Tailored solutions

We at URM appreciate that the use and development of AI will never be the same across any two organisations and, therefore, neither will the AIMS.  The unique requirements of your organisation, its industry, size and structure, risk appetite, products and services provided, legal and obligatory requirements, etc. will always shape the approach we take in helping you develop, implement and maintain your AIMS.  Meanwhile, we will ensure the advice and guidance we offer you reflects how you work and your existing culture, enabling you to integrate the AIMS into business-as-usual operations as seamlessly as possible.

Knowledge transfer

One of the most fundamental aspects of the way we work at URM is our ‘real world’ knowledge transfer philosophy. This enables you to benefit from our large team of consultants’ extensive practical experience and knowledge of AI best practice and, ultimately, independently maintain and improve your AIMS by virtue of what you have learned from them, without needing to rely on ongoing consultancy support.

Our partnership with URM has been outstanding. From supporting us with our own Cyber Essentials certification to assisting our customers with Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, and virtual CISO services, URM consistently delivers exceptional service. Their expertise, open communication, and ability to allocate the right expert resources for specific requirements makes every project seamless. We highly value their support and look forward to continuing our collaboration.
Cyber security services and solutions provider
It’s one thing having the required technical knowledge, it’s another thing for a consultant to apply that knowledge to the context of our organisation. To use a sporting analogy, we view cyber and information security as a marathon not a sprint. I am not a believer in doing everything all at once. Our approach has been risk based and incremental, remediating our biggest risks first before moving on. I believe this approach is far more sustainable and effective. And URM’s consultants fully understand this and are very pragmatic and tailored in their guidance and advice. They know we are not implementing ISO 27001 purely for the certificate, but more as a framework for continual improvement, and at a pace where new systems and processes can be fully understood and absorbed by our team and be business as usual.
