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.
