Reach ISO/IEC 42005 readiness without rebuilding your policy programme
ISO/IEC 42005 provides guidance for conducting AI system impact assessments — covering both expected benefits and the social, ethical, and rights-related risks of an AI use case. It is the structured method that lets an organisation make a defensible go/no-go decision on a use case before resources are committed, and the artefact procurement reviewers and regulators increasingly ask to see for high-impact AI. Use it to satisfy ISO 42001 Clause 8.4 impact-assessment requirements and to align with EU AI Act fundamental-rights impact assessment expectations. Quick Policy maps ISO/IEC 42005 into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs - and keeps it current between audits.
Standards assurance
How Quick Policy verifies against ISO_IEC_42005_2025
Every policy Quick Policy generates is scored against ISO_IEC_42005_2025's pass mark, with a PASS, WARN, or FAIL verdict and plain-English guidance on what to fix when it falls short.
A monthly automated audit re-checks coverage against this standard, so drift is caught between scheduled reviews rather than at the next one.
Audit-ready exports bundle the scored policies, gap guidance, and review history into one evidence pack when it is time to show your work.

Standard facts
Why ISO/IEC 42005 matters for your operating model
ISO/IEC 42005 doesn't just dictate document templates - it shapes which controls auditors test, what evidence they ask for, and which gaps surface first during diligence. Getting it wrong creates renewal slippage, audit findings, and stalled customer deals.
- • Issued by ISO/IEC with global recognition.
- • Directly shapes policy families including Ai Risk, Data Protection — these are the artefacts assessors open first.
- • Common artifacts include Policy.
- • Obligation model: Voluntary — meaning you need defensible reasoning for in-scope vs out-of-scope decisions, not just signed policies.
How Quick Policy helps you stand up ISO/IEC 42005
The platform turns ISO/IEC 42005 from a PDF of requirements into a live operating model - policies, training, evidence, and audit-export packs that update in lock-step when the standard or your business changes.
- • Adopt ISO/IEC 42005 once and Quick Policy seeds the right policy families (Ai Risk, Data Protection) with applicability rationale your auditor can follow.
- • Common artifacts include Policy.
- • Review cadence is enforced at ~365 days so policies don't silently expire ahead of recertification.
- • Standard updates (ISO/IEC 42005 revisions, errata, regulator guidance) trigger an applicability re-check across your active policies - not a full rewrite.
