As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries, the need for structured, secure, and compliant AI governance has never been greater. In response to this growing demand, Black Cell is proudly announcing the launch of its AI Management System (AIMS) GAP assessment and implementation service. The engagement – delivered by Black Cell Compliance – is designed to help organisations align with the EU AI Act and ISO/IEC 42001:2023 while mitigating the risks associated with AI adoption. 

Why AIMS? 

AI technologies pose unique challenges to privacy, security, and regulatory compliance. From inadvertent data leakage to adversarial machine learning and AI-driven evasion tactics, the risks are real and evolving with an astonishing pace. 

Black Cell’s AIMS service enables organisations to integrate AI governance into their existing ISO/IEC 27001:2022-based Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), ensuring a seamless and scalable approach to compliance and risk management. As AIMS is based on ISO/IEC 42001:2023, organisations can leverage independent certification to attest their compliance. 

What you get in an AIMS implementation 

Delivered in three structured phases, the AIMS implementation provides: 

• A tailored AI Policy and Statement of Applicability 

• A comprehensive AI Risk Assessment 

• Measurable AI Objectives and performance metrics 

• Custom awareness training delivered via Black Cell Academy 

• Full internal audit support and management review documentation 

• Hands-on assistance during certification audit 

Whether you’re an AI provider, deployer, importer, or product manufacturer, Black Cell’s AIMS GAP assessment and implementation service ensures you’re equipped to meet regulatory obligations and operate AI responsibly, while gaining an independent ISO 42001:2023 certification from an authorized auditor.

Who is AIMS for? 

Black Cell’s AI Management System (AIMS) is built for two key groups of organizations:

Entities falling under the scope of the EU AI Act 

This includes any organization that develops, deploys, imports, distributes, or integrates AI systems used within the EU. Specifically: 

• Providers placing AI systems or general-purpose AI models on the EU market 

• Deployers of AI systems established or operating within the EU 

• Non-EU providers and deployers whose AI outputs are used in the EU 

• Importers and distributors of AI systems 

• Product manufacturers integrating AI into their offerings under their own brand 

• Authorized representatives of non-EU providers 

Organizations using AI in an unmanaged way 

Even if not (yet) subject to regulatory obligations, many businesses are already leveraging AI tools – often without clear governance, security controls, or ethical safeguards. AIMS helps these organizations: 

• Prevent data leakage and intellectual property exposure 

• Establish internal accountability and transparency 

• Enable secure, privacy-conscious, and responsible AI usage 

• Create processes for assessing, authorizing and continually monitoring AI technology usage 

• Build readiness for future audits, certifications, or regulatory changes 

Whether you’re proactively preparing for compliance or seeking to bring structure to your AI initiatives, AIMS provides the foundation for secure and sustainable AI adoption, while enabling you to attest the compliance of your operations with an independent certification. 

Not Ready for Full AIMS? Start with an AI Policy 

 For organizations looking to take a first step toward AI governance, Black Cell Compliance offers a limited-scope engagement focused on developing a formal, standards-aligned AI Policy. This is ideal for teams that are beginning to explore AI usage or want to establish internal accountability without committing to a full management system. 

 The AI Policy is crafted in alignment with ISO/IEC 42001:2023 and tailored to your organization’s context, roles, and risk profile. It provides a clear framework for responsible AI use: covering governance, security and privacy controls. 

 And when you’re ready, this foundation can be seamlessly expanded into a full AI Management System (AIMS) implementation.
