Nuvexia offers three ways to reach ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification: implementation advisory starting with a free gap assessment, external audit readiness support with pre-built templates, and a standalone documentation toolkit you can buy on its own or bundled with an advisory engagement.
Looking for Singapore-specific guidance? See our Singapore certification support page , this flagship page covers full service and toolkit detail.
Three ways to work with us
Whether you want Nuvexia to lead the build, need focused audit prep for an existing AIMS, or just want the templates, choose one lane or combine them.
For organisations that want Nuvexia to lead the build, from scoping and documentation through internal audit and certification-body liaison.
For organisations with an AIMS already underway, in-house or with another advisor, that need focused preparation for the certification body's audits.
The same templates that power our advisory engagements, sold standalone for teams doing implementation in-house, or bundled into either service above.
All three lanes use the same Annex A control set and documentation standards, so you can start with one and expand without rework. The free gap assessment is the same entry point regardless of which path you take.
This is the entry point into our Implementation Advisory track, and it's free because we'd rather you make the buy/build decision with real information than a sales pitch.
Your AI systems inventory, current documentation, and practices, scored against ISO/IEC 42001 Annex A controls.
A findings summary showing your current state, the gaps that matter most, and a realistic view of the work ahead, whether or not you engage us further.
Typically a short intake call plus a document and questionnaire review, usually completed within a few business days. We confirm the exact scope when you book.
The assessment stands on its own. No obligation to proceed, use it to plan internally or with another advisor if you prefer.
Annex A controls
ISO/IEC 42001 Annex A, Annex B guidance, and Clause 4–10 management system requirements, not a vibe check, a control-by-control view.
The assessment mirrors what a certification body looks for, so gaps surface now, not during Stage 1.

Implementation Advisory
Nuvexia leads the build, you keep ownership. Six stages from scope to surveillance, each producing evidence Stage 2 will actually test.
STEP 01
STEP 01
Know where you stand before you commit
We inventory your AI systems, review current documentation and practices, and score you against ISO/IEC 42001 Annex A controls, so the buy/build decision is made with real information, not a sales pitch.
STEP 02
STEP 02
AIMS that fits how you actually work
We build the core AIMS documentation set, policy, scope, procedures, registers, and controlled records, mapped to your operating reality, not a generic binder.
STEP 03
STEP 03
Repeatable, auditable, defensible
A repeatable method to evaluate organisational risk and effects on people and society, make treatment decisions, and track residual risk, the engine Stage 2 auditors test.
STEP 04
STEP 04
Prove the system operates
Templates and facilitation for the internal audit programme and management review, because ISO 42001 requires a genuinely operating system, not just documents on a shelf.
STEP 05
STEP 05
Independent audit, without the guesswork
We help you select a suitable certification body and coordinate logistics, while preserving auditor independence. Nuvexia does not issue certificates.
STEP 06
STEP 06
Stay certified, stay improved
Keep controls operating, review changes, run surveillance audits, and prepare for recertification, continual improvement isn't a slogan, it's a surveillance requirement.
Nuvexia prepares. Certification bodies certify.
An independent certification body audits your AIMS and issues the certificate. We design, implement, and prepare you, never compromising auditor independence.
External Audit Readiness (with Templates)
Whether built with us, in-house, or with another advisor, get focused preparation for the certification body's Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits using pre-built templates.
Documentation review
Confirm your policies, procedures, and Statement of Applicability are complete, internally consistent, and traceable to controls, before the certification body sees them.
Operational effectiveness
Stage 2 tests whether the system actually operates. We organise evidence, run mock interviews, and hold a readiness review, so nothing is a surprise on audit day.
If gaps surface during preparation, we help you close them, root cause, correction, and corrective action, so the certification audit sees closure, not just findings.
The same AIMS documentation set that powers our Implementation Advisory, included in this service, so you're not preparing from scratch.
See Documentation Toolkit below
Who it's for
Teams with an AIMS already underway, whether built internally, with Nuvexia, or with another advisor, who want an external pair of eyes before the certification body arrives.
Documentation Toolkit: Buy Standalone or Bundled
Available as a standalone purchase for teams running implementation themselves, or bundled when you engage Implementation Advisory or External Audit Readiness.
What's typically included
Policy and scope documents that define your AIMS boundaries and commitments.
Structured templates for risk identification, impact evaluation, and treatment.
SoA and controls tracker mapping applicability, justification, and implementation status.
Procedure, audit plan, and programme templates for your internal audit cycle.
Inputs, outputs, and decision record for management review meetings.
Log, root-cause, and close the loop, evidence Stage 2 auditors expect to see operating.
Final document list is confirmed at purchase, toolkit evolves with ISO/IEC 42001 practice and certification body expectations.
Self-serve · For in-house teams
For teams implementing in-house that don't want to build every document from a blank page. Self-serve access to the full template set with implementation guidance.
Contact us for current pricing and licensing tiers.
Included · With advisory
Included when you engage Implementation Advisory or External Audit Readiness, no separate purchase needed. Templates are configured and populated as part of the engagement.
Bundle terms confirmed at engagement, contact us for scope and package detail.
Templates don't certify you, operating evidence does
Templates address the documentation side of ISO 42001, typically a significant share of the implementation effort, but certification also requires the management system to be genuinely operating, real risk assessments performed, real reviews held. Stage 2 audits specifically test for this.
Who this is for
Wherever you are on the ISO 42001 journey, there's a lane that fits, and a free assessment to confirm which one.
Unsure how far along you already are? Start with the free gap assessment, a findings summary with no obligation to proceed.
Already building an AIMS in-house or with another advisor? Get focused Stage 1 and Stage 2 preparation using pre-built templates.
Want to implement yourself but not from a blank page? Buy the documentation toolkit standalone and build with a head start.
Content architecture
This is our flagship ISO/IEC 42001 page, covering full service detail, process, and toolkit. For Singapore-specific certification context (enterprise and government assurance, local scope examples), see ISO/IEC 42001 certification support in Singapore. It links here for full service and pricing detail so the two pages do not compete for the same search intent.

Frequently asked questions
If your question isn't here, bring it to the free gap assessment, that's where timelines, scope, and evidence get specific.
Yes, a free gap assessment scored against ISO/IEC 42001's Annex A controls, with no obligation to proceed further. You get a findings summary showing your current state, the gaps that matter most, and a realistic view of the work ahead.
Implementation Advisory is full-service, from gap assessment through to certification. External Audit Readiness is a narrower engagement for organisations that already have an AI Management System underway and need focused help preparing specifically for the certification body's Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits.
Yes, the toolkit is available as a standalone purchase for teams implementing in-house, or bundled into either advisory service.
No. Templates address the documentation side of ISO 42001, typically a significant share of the implementation effort, but certification also requires the management system to be genuinely operating, real risk assessments performed, real reviews held, which Stage 2 audits specifically test for.
It varies by organisation size, scope, and how much documentation or process already exists. Many programmes run six to twelve months from gap assessment to initial certification audit. We provide a realistic estimate after the free gap assessment, based on your actual gaps and operating evidence.
Yes. Stage 1 readiness covers documentation review preparation, confirming policies, procedures, and Statement of Applicability are complete and consistent. Stage 2 readiness covers operational effectiveness, evidence organisation, mock interviews, and a readiness review before the real audit.
