Elevating standards: TP achieves BSI certification for AI management

Effectively deploying artificial intelligence (AI) requires a structured AI governance framework to proactively mitigate significant financial and reputational risks while advancing fairness, transparency, and accountability. In today's digital landscape, ethical AI is an essential, verifiable business advantage that builds enduring customer trust. 

TP continues to set the highest global standards for technology innovation. In this context, we are proud to have achieved the prestigious ISO/IEC 42001:2023 AI Management System (AIMS) certification, awarded by the British Standards Institution (BSI). 

As a dedicated standard for AI governance, ISO/IEC 42001 reflects a rigorous and evolving framework for managing AI responsibly. Achieving this certification highlights TP’s proactive approach to embedding strong governance practices, promoting the ethical, secure, and accountable development and deployment of AI in line with leading international benchmarks. 

Leading the industry in AI governance 

TP is a pioneer and one of the only major players in our sector to achieve this foundational, enterprise-wide certification. Achieving BSI AIMS (Certificate No. AIMS 830986) expands and integrates seamlessly with our existing global standards, including ISO 27001 (Information Security), ISO 27701 (Privacy Information Management), ISO 37001 (Anti-bribery Management System) and ISO 37301 (Compliance Management). As of January this year, fewer than 100 companies worldwide hold this certificate.

“Our commitment to AI governance, as recognized through the BSI AIMS certification, demonstrates a forward-looking perspective on the future of enterprise technology. It demonstrates that TP continues to lead the way in responsible innovation while maintaining the highest levels of process excellence.”

Shane Chase, Global Head of Privacy, TP

This layered approach supports robust protection of client data and promotes alignment with global regulations, including the EU AI Act.

The importance of an enterprise-wide AI approach

Achieving a BSI AIMS certification builds upon our existing processes and enhances TP’s core principles for the design, development, testing, and deployment of AI systems. It bolsters our proactive approach to building a trustworthy AI ecosystem for our partners and their customers. 

TP’s certification serves as an enterprise-level validation and is evidence of our robust governance, security and commitment to responsible AI innovation. This covers TP’s multifaceted role as a producer, provider, and user of a range of core AI systems, including solutions based on:

• Retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG)
• Natural language processing (NLP)
• AI solutions leveraging third‑party Large Language Models (LLMs)

All governed through TP’s AI risk management and oversight framework.

Our enterprise-wide approach promotes operational consistency. Unlike product-specific certifications that secure only one part of the ecosystem, our certification covers key stages of the AI lifecycle: from design and development to monitoring and decommissioning. It provides clients with assurance that AI systems are governed through a rigorously audited AI management system aligned with international standards.

Driving secure digital transformation 

Achieving the ISO 42001 certification provides external, third-party validation that TP's AI governance framework is secure by design. A key component of this framework is our advanced, 24/7 monitoring capability supported by continuous monitoring capabilities designed to detect and respond to AI-related risks in a timely manner. We protect our clients' brand reputation while ensuring strong regulatory compliance across our core operations. 

TP strives to consistently deliver sustainable value, operational efficiency, unwavering data security, and transparency for our global clients. By championing responsible AI deployment, we empower our partners to navigate digital transformation safely and effectively.
