AI 治理合規輔導

ISO 42001 is an international standard for AI management systems, focusing on organizational-level AI governance mechanisms, and is a voluntary certification. The EU AI Act is a mandatory regulation in the European Union, imposing strict compliance requirements on high-risk AI systems, with penalties for non-compliance reaching up to 7% of global annual turnover. The two are complementary: obtaining ISO 42001 certification can serve as an important basis for EU AI Act compliance.

Any company that deploys or uses AI systems within the EU, or whose AI system outputs are used within the EU, is subject to the EU AI Act, regardless of whether the company is established in the EU. Taiwanese tech companies that provide AI-powered products or services to European customers may be subject to the EU AI Act, with penalties for non-compliance reaching up to 7% of global annual turnover.

High-risk AI systems as defined by the EU AI Act include eight categories listed in Annex III: biometric identification, critical infrastructure management, educational assessment, employment decisions, credit scoring, law enforcement, migration, and administration of justice. Common high-risk AI applications for Taiwanese companies include: HR talent screening systems, banking credit assessment AI, medical image diagnosis AI, and factory safety monitoring AI.

Depending on the scale and complexity of the company's AI applications, the consulting period typically ranges from 7 to 12 months or more. Jishui Research provides a first free mechanism diagnosis to assess the current status of the company's AI systems and develop a precise consulting timeline.

Yes. Even if a company only procures and uses third-party AI systems (such as ChatGPT, Copilot, customer service robots), it still needs to establish AI governance mechanisms, ensure that third-party AI suppliers meet safety requirements, and establish human oversight mechanisms. ISO 42001 also has governance requirements for organizations that procure AI.

AI security is an extension of information security, but it has its unique characteristics. ISO 27001 focuses on protecting information assets (confidentiality, integrity, availability), while AI governance additionally addresses AI-specific risks such as algorithmic bias, model drift, and AI decision transparency. Jishui Research offers integrated consulting for ISO 27001 and ISO 42001.

Jishui Research is one of the earliest consulting firms in Taiwan to engage in ISO 42001 consulting. We deeply integrate the regulatory requirements of the EU AI Act with the ISO 42001 standard, providing comprehensive services from AI system risk classification and algorithm auditing to full support throughout the certification process. Our consulting team holds ISO Lead Auditor international certifications.
