The 12-week Aicatch Ready Programme
A structured route that turns uncontrolled AI use into an operating, evidenced management system - mapped to the ISO/IEC 42001 clause structure and prepared to approach an independent certification body for Stage 1, subject to scope, organisational readiness and closure of agreed actions.
Delivery method
Discover → Design → Implement → Evidence → Audit-ready
Discover
Confirm AIMS scope, context, interested parties and legal obligations. Inventory AI systems, tools and use cases.
Item 1Design
Define the governance framework, roles, risk method and the selected, justified set of AI controls.
Item 2Implement
Stand up lifecycle, supplier, data, incident and monitoring controls, and the AI-literacy programme.
Item 3Evidence & audit-ready
Operate long enough to generate credible evidence, run internal audit and management review, then hand over.
Item 4Implementation workstreams

| Annex controls | A selected and justified set of AI-specific governance controls, supported by evidence. |
Critical commercial boundary
We provide ISO/IEC 42001 implementation, gap assessment, internal audit, readiness and coaching. We do not "certify", "accredit", "approve" or "guarantee certification". Certification is performed by an independent, accredited certification body under its own formal rules.
The certification journey
How the full route works
Define the AIMS scope and organisational context
Implement management-system processes and selected AI controls
Operate the system long enough to generate credible evidence
Complete an internal audit and management review
Select an accredited certification body and confirm scope
Stage 1 audit - readiness and documented-system review
Stage 2 audit - implementation and effectiveness assessment
Maintain the system through surveillance audits and continual improvement
