ISO 42001 certification in Seattle at a glance
Seattle's technology companies were deploying machine learning before AI governance became a buyer's question, and now they are being asked about it anyway. The City's Office of Economic Development describes a technology sector spanning software, retail and e-commerce, gaming and emerging technologies, and King County's life-science community is adopting AI in research and diagnostics. ISO/IEC 42001 provides an AI management system: a policy, defined roles, an inventory of AI systems, impact and risk assessment, data and lifecycle controls, monitoring and continual improvement, all open to audit by an accredited certification body. Sterling builds the system with Seattle teams from its New York office, often alongside ISO/IEC 27001 or SOC 2.

ISO 42001 in Seattle: questions clients ask
What does ISO/IEC 42001 require a Seattle software team to document?
An inventory of AI systems, who is accountable for each, the intended purposes, impact and risk assessments, data governance rules, testing and monitoring, and how incidents are handled. Seattle teams usually find much of this exists informally and needs gathering.
Is ISO/IEC 42001 relevant to Seattle life-science firms?
Where they use AI in discovery, imaging, diagnostics or operations, yes. Customers, partners and regulators increasingly ask how those systems are governed, and the standard offers an auditable structure that complements quality and security systems. Evidence from those systems can be reused for audits.
