23 Jan Meltwater achieves the industry’s first ISO 42001 Certification

Meltwater announced that the company is the first in its industry to receive ISO 42001 certification for responsible development and use of AI systems.

ISO 42001 is the world’s first AI management system standard for organisations that have established a robust framework for managing risks and opportunities in AI systems and who meet the highest standards of information security and privacy.

ISO 42001 specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS), such as Meltwater’s industry-leading AI engine.

For Meltwater customers, this certification means they can trust the company’s ability to protect their data.

The certification process involves a comprehensive evaluation of Meltwater’s information security policies, risk management strategies, and operational procedures.

This rigorous assessment ensures that the company not only meets but exceeds the expectations set forth by the ISO standards. As a result, Meltwater is better equipped to respond to potential security threats and to continuously improve its information security practices.

“Achieving ISO 42001 certification marks a significant milestone in Meltwater’s AI journey. We process over a billion pieces of content and perform 15 billion AI inferences daily for our customers and this certification validates not just our commitment to responsible AI development, but our ability to operate AI systems at massive scale while maintaining the highest standards of governance,” said Aditya Jami, Chief Technology Officer at Meltwater. “Building upon our ISO 27001 and 27701 certifications, this new standard demonstrates our proactive approach to AI management and risk mitigation.”
