“Undertaking the rigorous process of getting ISO/IEC 42001 certification underscores our commitment to responsible AI innovation,” said Masato Nakao, CEO, i-PRO. “AI is transforming the way security professionals operate. We believe it’s our responsibility to ensure these technologies are developed and deployed ethically, transparently, and in ways that respect human rights.”

The certification process involved a comprehensive independent audit conducted by the British Standards Institute (BSI), which assessed i-PRO’s AI management practices across its product development, deployment, and operational workflows.

“AI has the potential to be a significant force for good in society, transforming lives everywhere” said Tim McGarr, AI market development lead, BSI. But to realize its benefits, having the guardrails in place for the safe and ethical use of AI is critical. As the first physical security company to undergo the certification process for this new standard, i-PRO demonstrates its leadership in ethical AI development. Certification to this standard offers reassurance to stakeholders on the safe and responsible use of AI in an organization’s products and services, paving the way for them to harness AI to accelerate progress towards a better future and a sustainable world. It’s fantastic to see the i-PRO team reach the final stage of certification, and we look forward to supporting them through the completion process.”
