ISO 42001 certification in Makati at a glance
Banks in Makati score fraud with models; outsourcers on Ayala Avenue test chat assistants on client queues; fintechs automate credit steps. Each use raises the same question from a board or client: who governs this? ISO/IEC 42001 is the international standard for an AI management system, with requirements for policy, roles, AI risk and impact assessment, data and lifecycle controls, supplier oversight, monitoring and improvement. The standard certifies the management system, not any individual model. In a district full of finance and outsourcing, the push is client-led and board-led rather than regulatory. Sterling's Manila office in Makati can inventory your AI uses, run a gap assessment and build the system. An accredited certification body issues the certificate.

ISO 42001 in Makati: questions clients ask
Why would a Makati outsourcer pursue ISO/IEC 42001?
Because clients increasingly ask how AI is used on their data, who oversees it and what risks were assessed. The standard provides a certifiable AI management system covering policy, roles, risk and impact assessment, lifecycle controls and supplier oversight. It is voluntary and only one way to answer such questions.
Does ISO/IEC 42001 certify that an AI model is accurate?
No. It certifies the management system around AI, such as governance, risk assessment, data and lifecycle controls, not the accuracy or fairness of any model. Model testing is separate. A certificate shows that the organisation manages AI risks systematically and has been audited by an accredited body.
