How Companies Build AI Trust Fast with Workstreet
Learn from real examples of companies that have solved trust in their AI
Clay needed to scale security and compliance without slowing down their explosive growth trajectory—moving from $500M to $3.1B valuation in just over a year. Workstreet's expert-led security services on the Vanta platform enabled Clay to achieve SOC 2 readiness in record time while keeping their product and sales teams focused on growth.
Linea is an innovative technology company developing advanced solutions for business applications. As they expanded their operations and client base, Linea recognized the need to prepare for SOC 2 compliance to meet customer expectations and support their growth strategy. With limited internal security expertise, they sought virtual CISO services to guide their compliance implementation efficiently and establish appropriate security controls without disrupting their core business operations.
ISO 42001 FAQs
Common questions about ISO 42001 compliance
ISO 42001 is the world's first international standard for AI Management Systems, published in December 2023. For AI companies, certification demonstrates commitment to responsible AI practices, builds customer trust, meets regulatory requirements, and provides competitive advantage as markets increasingly demand ethical AI governance.
Unlike SOC 2 and ISO 27001, ISO 42001 specifically addresses AI governance challenges: algorithmic bias, model transparency, training data quality, AI lifecycle management, and ethical AI use. It complements rather than replaces other frameworks—many companies implement it alongside existing security standards for comprehensive governance.
Traditional certification takes 3-6 months, but Workstreet customers are typically audit-ready in 2-4 weeks. The process includes establishing an AI Management System, conducting risk assessments, implementing governance policies, documenting lifecycle processes, and completing a two-stage certification audit. As a newer standard with fewer requirements than ISO 27001, it's a more accessible certification.
Formal certification provides validation and structure to your efforts. It systematizes ad-hoc processes, ensures comprehensive risk coverage, establishes a continuous improvement framework, and demonstrates commitment to stakeholders. Certification also identifies potential blind spots and provides competitive advantage as customers increasingly expect formal AI governance.
ISO 42001 benefits any organization developing, deploying, or significantly using AI systems: AI-first companies, SaaS platforms with AI features, enterprises using AI for decision-making, healthcare organizations with AI diagnostics, financial services with AI-driven processes, and companies in regulated industries. Early adopters gain first-mover advantage while establishing credibility with customers, investors, and regulators.
