Concord, MA, Oct. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ProcessUnity, the Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) company, today announced it has received certification to ISO/IEC 42001:2023 Artificial Intelligence Management System, the international standard for artificial intelligence management systems. The certification gives ProcessUnity customers independent assurance that the AI inside ProcessUnity Third-Party Risk Management programs is developed and managed responsibly, with people guiding every decision.
ProcessUnity builds AI to speed up the most time-consuming work in TPRM, from evaluating vendor evidence to completing assessments, while keeping risk professionals in control. Human review and oversight are built into how ProcessUnity Risk Index work, so teams can move faster across their entire vendor portfolio without handing their judgment over to a machine. Customers can now point to an internationally recognized standard when they need to show auditors, regulators, and their own leadership that the AI in their TPRM program is governed by the rigor they expect.
“Our customers hold their third parties to a high standard, and they should expect the same from us,” said Dave Stapleton, Chief Trust Officer at ProcessUnity. “AI is changing how quickly Third-Party Risk Management teams can work, but speed only matters if people can trust the results. ISO/IEC 42001 certification confirms the approach we’ve taken from the start: AI does the heavy lifting, and people guide every decision that matters.”
ProcessUnity’s certification covers its Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) for the development, support, and maintenance of production of platform capabilities Evidence Evaluator and Assessment Autofill, and ProcessUnity Risk Index, automated risk profiles inclusive of predictive vendor risk data. It recognizes ProcessUnity’s structured approach to the responsible governance and ongoing management of artificial intelligence within the certified scope, where ProcessUnity’s AI roles are identified as Producer and User.
“Achieving ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification demonstrates ProcessUnity’s commitment to managing artificial intelligence with the discipline, accountability, and continual-improvement mindset that organizations increasingly expect,” said Dr. Cem Onus, VP of Audit at DEKRA Certification, Inc. “By establishing and maintaining an artificial intelligence management system aligned with an internationally recognized standard, ProcessUnity is taking an important step toward building trust in the development and use of its AI capabilities.”
The certification builds on ProcessUnity’s existing ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification with DEKRA, which covers the development, support, and maintenance of the ProcessUnity third-party risk and cybersecurity Platform and Global Risk Exchange, including related technical operations, security operations, engineering, development, quality assurance, and DevOps activities. Together, the two certifications show that ProcessUnity applies the same discipline to its AI that it applies to protecting customer data.
“Organizations are looking for practical ways to demonstrate that their use of AI is governed responsibly and supported by repeatable management practices,” said Dr. Onus. “ISO/IEC 42001 provides a meaningful framework for doing so, and we congratulate ProcessUnity on this achievement.”
