The ISO/IEC 42001:2023 to EU AI Act crosswalk
The table above lists candidate mappings. A crosswalk answers the narrower question you are probably here for: which EU AI Act controls your existing ISO/IEC 42001:2023 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. ISO/IEC 42001:2023 into EU AI Act lands at 39.5%, while EU AI Act into ISO/IEC 42001:2023 lands at 57.9%, 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 ISO/IEC 42001:2023 evidence buys you for EU AI Act, the other asks the reverse.
17 of 43 EU AI Act controls are evidenced by work you have already done for ISO/IEC 42001:2023. 26 are genuine gaps.
22 of 38 ISO/IEC 42001:2023 controls are evidenced by work you have already done for EU AI Act. 16 are genuine gaps.
- 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 100% in the header counts how many ISO/IEC 42001:2023 controls carry at least one candidate mapping in the graph, before any review. The crosswalk percentage counts something stricter: how many EU AI Act 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.

What are the key differences between ISO/IEC 42001:2023 and EU AI Act?
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 has 38 controls across its framework, while EU AI Act covers 43 controls. Direct mapping analysis identifies 38 overlapping controls (100% coverage). The frameworks diverge most significantly in Clause A – ISO/IEC 42001:2023, where 9 ISO/IEC 42001:2023 controls have no direct EU AI Act equivalent.
How many controls map between ISO/IEC 42001:2023 and EU AI Act?
Of 38 total ISO/IEC 42001:2023 controls, 38 map directly to EU AI Act controls, representing 100% coverage. The remaining 50 controls represent compliance gaps requiring additional documentation or compensating controls to satisfy both frameworks simultaneously.
What are the compliance gaps when mapping ISO/IEC 42001:2023 to EU AI Act?
50 ISO/IEC 42001:2023 controls have no direct equivalent in EU AI Act. The highest concentration of gaps is in Clause A – ISO/IEC 42001:2023 with 9 unmapped controls. These gaps represent areas where additional controls, policies, or documentation must be created to achieve compliance with both frameworks.
Which control domains have the most gaps between ISO/IEC 42001:2023 and EU AI Act?
The domain with the highest gap count is Clause A – ISO/IEC 42001:2023 (9 gaps). Export the full domain-by-domain gap breakdown via the Professional tier to generate a prioritised remediation roadmap.
