When it comes to artificial intelligence, speed isn’t everything—trust is. UiPath, a global leader in agentic automation, just became one of the first companies in the world to receive ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification, the newly established international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS).
Granted by Schellman, an independent certification body known for its rigorous audits, the certification recognizes UiPath’s comprehensive approach to responsible AI design, development, and deployment across its automation platform.
Setting a Standard for Responsible AI
The ISO/IEC 42001:2023 standard was introduced to create a global governance framework for AI, focusing on security, transparency, accountability, and risk management throughout the entire AI lifecycle—from ideation to ongoing improvement.
For enterprises, UiPath’s certification means independent assurance that its platform’s AI capabilities are not only powerful but also trustworthy and compliant. It’s a signal to enterprise buyers that AI automation can be scaled without compromising oversight or data integrity.
Inside UiPath’s AI Governance Framework
UiPath’s multi-layer governance architecture ensures that agentic automation runs safely across every operational tier—AI, IT, and infrastructure. A key pillar of this approach is the UiPath AI Trust Layer, which centralizes oversight of model selection, policy enforcement, and privacy protection.
In practice, that means every AI-driven automation is designed to be transparent and compliant by default. Features such as policy-aware execution, data retention controls, and model transparency allow organizations to understand and control how AI operates within their systems—no black boxes allowed.
“Innovation and Accountability Can Coexist”
Danny Manimbo, AI & ISO Practice Leader at Schellman, noted, “ISO 42001 certification is more than a milestone; it’s a public declaration of UiPath’s commitment to trust and transparency. They’re showing that innovation and accountability can coexist.”
Scott Roberts, UiPath’s Chief Information Security Officer, emphasized the certification’s real-world impact: “Our customers manage sensitive workflows like fraud detection and financial operations. They need confidence that our governance meets the highest global standards. This certification provides that confidence, giving enterprises the assurance to innovate and scale AI responsibly.”
A Blueprint for Trust in Agentic Automation
As organizations rush to deploy AI at scale, the new ISO 42001 certification could become the defining trust signal for enterprise adoption—much like ISO 27001 did for cybersecurity. UiPath’s early achievement gives it a first-mover advantage in a market that increasingly values explainability and accountability alongside innovation.
With AI moving from hype to hard business impact, responsible automation may soon become the deciding factor for enterprise adoption—and UiPath just set the bar.
