Evisort, a Workday company, recently became the first contract AI provider—and one of the first companies in the world—to achieve an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 42001 accredited certification for responsible development and use of artificial intelligence. 

TrustCloud, a leading platform for governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), supported Evisort’s journey to this globally recognized certification, which sets the bar for responsible AI management.

TrustCloud supports companies like Evisort by automating tasks related to certification requirements such as ISO 42001. By streamlining policy management, mapping controls, and conducting audits, the platform helped ensured Evisort met or exceeded the certification’s rigorous standards.

Tejas Ranade, Chief Product Officer at TrustCloud, explains why the company is uniquely positioned to help organizations like Evisort achieve AI governance certifications. “TrustCloud doesn’t just support customers who leverage AI in their software—AI is core to our platform as well, so we know how important it is to clearly demonstrate that your models and algorithms are meeting the highest security standards."

Evisort is honored to receive this important certification, which we view as a testament to our commitment to responsible AI—and our partnership with TrustCloud. We also deeply appreciate Tejas Ranade’s comments, “It’s an honor to work with customers like Evisort who are setting the bar regarding security, privacy, and technological innovation."

Partnership is key to success—whether working with customers or trusted collaborators. Collaboration drives innovation, and having the right partner was essential in pursuing ISO 42001 certification for responsible AI.

As a customer of TrustCloud, Evisort relied on their platform to meet high standards for compliance frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001. “At Evisort, we’ve built an AI-native platform for legal professionals with very high standards, which means we can’t compromise on security or product performance,” said Andrew Josephides, Senior Director of Infrastructure and Security at Evisort.

When the ISO 42001 framework was introduced, Evisort saw it as the perfect way to reinforce our commitment to AI safety. “As soon as the ISO 42001 framework was introduced, we knew it would be an excellent way to further demonstrate our focus on safety in AI and data management,” Josephides continued.

With TrustCloud’s platform already in place, achieving this certification was streamlined. TrustCloud’s automation tools helped Evisort map controls, run compliance tests, and meet the rigorous requirements of ISO 42001. This allowed Evisort to focus on driving innovation in AI-powered contract intelligence while ensuring the highest standards of AI security and governance.

When the story of AI is written, the ISO 42001 certification will be remembered as a pivotal chapter. It marks the moment when AI innovation expanded to include the highest standards of responsibility, security, and accountability.

For businesses adopting AI, this milestone signals a new era of trust. ISO 42001 ensures that AI systems drive progress, protect sensitive data, maintain transparency, and meet ethical standards. It’s a critical step toward building AI solutions that users can rely on with confidence, now and in the future.

Evisort’s partnership with TrustCloud demonstrates how collaboration can drive innovation while maintaining the highest levels of security and trust. Together, they are setting a new benchmark for responsible AI, ensuring a future where innovation and responsibility go hand in hand.
