ISO/IEC 42001 Alignment
A reference mapping between ISO/IEC 42001 AI management system objectives and MPLP protocol mechanisms.
Usage Boundary
This page provides an informative reference mapping between selected ISO/IEC 42001 objectives and MPLP protocol mechanisms. It does not constitute certification, endorsement, or a claim of compliance.
MPLP defines governance and lifecycle semantics that organizationsmay reference when designing or documenting their own AI management systems. Responsibility for ISO/IEC 42001 compliance remains solely with the adopting organization and its appointed assessors.
This reference follows the MPLP Standards Compatibility & Mapping Policy.

Illustrative mapping between standard objectives and protocol mechanisms.
| ISO/IEC 42001 Theme (Informative) | Objective Summary | MPLP Mechanism |
|---|---|---|
| Leadership & Commitment | Establish AI governance policies | Context Module (governance constraints), Role Module (authority boundaries) |
| Risk Assessment | Identify and evaluate AI-related risks | Confirm Module (authorization gates), Plan Module (intent validation) |
| Operational Control | Implement controls for AI system operation | Evidence Chain (Plan → Confirm → Trace), Role + Confirm (gates) |
| Monitoring & Measurement | Monitor AI system performance and governance requirements | Trace Module (structured audit trail), Observable lifecycle events |
| Documentation | Maintain documented information | Structured trace records, Schema-defined artifacts |
| Continual Improvement | Improve AI management system effectiveness | RFC process for protocol evolution, Versioned specifications |
