ISO/IEC 42001:2023 4.1: Understanding the organization and its context
Work out the internal and external issues that bear on the organization's purpose and on whether its AI management system can deliver what it is meant to, and decide whether climate change is one of them. Take account of what the AI systems the organization develops, provides or uses are intended for, and settle which roles it plays with respect to those systems (for example provider, producer, customer, partner or subject, as described in ISO/IEC 22989); the notes point to legal requirements including prohibited uses, regulator guidance, incentives, cultural and ethical norms, competition, governance, contracts and the systems' intended purpose as typical issues, and to PII controller or processor status as a factor in role determination.
This control maps to 41 controls across 23 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
NIST-CSF-GV.OC-01 The organizational mission is understood and informs cybersecurity risk management
NIST-CSF-GV.OC-02 Internal and external stakeholders are understood, and their needs and expectations regarding cybersecurity risk management are understood and considered
NIST-CSF-GV.OC-03 Legal, regulatory, and contractual requirements regarding cybersecurity - including privacy and civil liberties obligations - are understood and managed
NIST-CSF-GV.OC-04 Critical objectives, capabilities, and services that external stakeholders depend on or expect from the organization are understood and communicated
NIST-CSF-GV.OC-05 Outcomes, capabilities, and services that the organization depends on are understood and communicated
You are reading one control. How much of ISO/IEC 42001:2023 have you already done?
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 4.1 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of ISO/IEC 42001:2023 your existing evidence covers. Hold NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) and 30 of 38 ISO/IEC 42001:2023 controls already carry evidence.
Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 0 were rejected on the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) pair alone.
