The EU AI Act to ISO/IEC 42001:2023 crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which ISO/IEC 42001:2023 controls your existing EU AI Act work already satisfies, which are real gaps, and the reasoning behind every claim so you can check it. One pair, $299, one time.
Coverage does not run both ways. EU AI Act into ISO/IEC 42001:2023 lands at 57.9%, while ISO/IEC 42001:2023 into EU AI Act lands at 39.5%, on the same two control sets. That is not a rounding difference. It is the whole reason these are two separate reports: one asks what your EU AI Act evidence buys you for ISO/IEC 42001:2023, the other asks the reverse.
22 of 38 ISO/IEC 42001:2023 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for EU AI Act. 16 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Allocates provider, deployer, importer and distributor responsibilities across the AI value chain.
Grounded in EUAI-Art.25 Responsibilities along the AI value chain. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
Establish a process ensuring that the organization's use of services, products or materials provided by suppliers aligns with its approach to the responsible development and use of AI systems.
Every one of the 22 evidenced controls and 16 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
17 of 43 EU AI Act controls are evidenced by work you have already done for ISO/IEC 42001:2023. 26 are genuine gaps.
A sample of what the report says
Quality requirements for data are defined, documented and verified as met.
Grounded in iso-iec-42001-2023::A.7.4 Quality of data for AI systems. Confidence high, survived the refutation pass.
High-risk AI systems shall be designed and developed in such a way that they can be effectively overseen by natural persons during the period in which they are in use. Oversight measures shall enable persons to understand the relevant...
Every one of the 17 evidenced controls and 26 gaps in the report carries this much reasoning, so you can check the claim rather than take it on trust.
- Every evidenced control, with the reasoning behind it
- Every gap, with what it requires
- Its level of review stated plainly, not a bare number
Why this page shows two different percentages. The 98% in the header counts how many EU AI Act controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many ISO/IEC 42001:2023 controls are actually evidenced, after a pass that argued against each mapping and kept only what survived. They answer different questions and they are not meant to agree.
A crosswalk narrows the work. It does not replace an audit, and your assessor may take a different view on individual controls. Mappings between frameworks are judgements, not text printed in either standard, which is why every claim in the report shows its reasoning. Questions go to support@theartofservice.com.
