ISO 42001

Nebius is certified for compliance with ISO/IEC 42001, the international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS).

It defines requirements for governing the AI lifecycle — development, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement — under a framework of documented policy, risk control, and independent audit.

Certification is maintained through annual surveillance audits — to earn it, Nebius underwent a demanding, comprehensive assessment of our AI management practices, examining every requirement of the standard, from risk governance to lifecycle oversight.

Questions and answers

ISO/IEC 42001 is the international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS). It is the first and only internationally recognized, certifiable standard for AI management. Certification confirms that Nebius has:

A structured basis for regulatory alignment, including with the EU AI Act
Systematic identification and mitigation of AI risk
Independent verification by an accredited third party, in place of self-reported claims

For infrastructure that underpins other organizations' AI systems, this standard of governance is becoming a baseline requirement.

Independently verified governance. Our AI management practices are assessed by an accredited, third-party certification body.
Reduced compliance burden. Customers demonstrating responsible AI practices to their own regulators or auditors can cite Nebius’s certification within their compliance chain.
Structured risk management. AI-related risks — safety, security, bias, reliability — are managed through documented, repeatable processes rather than ad hoc measures.
Ongoing assurance. Certification is maintained through annual surveillance audits, not a one-time assessment.
