ISMS and AIMS: one management system instead of two

ISO/IEC 27001 (information security) and ISO/IEC 42001 (AI management) are both built on the same high-level structure: context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation and improvement.

That means scope, policies, risk method, internal audits and management reviews can be written once and shared. Only the controls and the AI-specific requirements (impact assessment, lifecycle, data and model governance) differ.

Observable-GRC lets you build your ISMS, your AIMS, or both in an integrated way: shared objects are tagged as common, system-specific ones stay separate, and certification evidence is exported per system.
