Coretek Achieves ISO/IEC 42001 Certification, Reinforcing Leadership in Responsible AI Governance

Certification validates Coretek's enterprise AI governance framework and commitment to delivering secure, transparent, and responsible AI solutions for customers.

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Coretek, a leading AI, cloud, cybersecurity, and managed services solution provider, today announced it has achieved ISO/IEC 42001 certification, the world's first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS). The certification reinforces Coretek's commitment to implementing comprehensive AI governance practices that enable organizations to innovate with confidence while managing risk, security, compliance, and transparency.

As organizations accelerate AI adoption across every aspect of their business, governance has become just as important as innovation. ISO/IEC 42001 establishes a globally recognized framework for managing the development, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement of artificial intelligence systems. By achieving certification, Coretek is among the first organizations globally to earn ISO/IEC 42001 certification, demonstrating independently validated AI governance practices aligned with internationally recognized standards.

"AI is rapidly becoming embedded in core business operations, making governance just as critical as innovation," said Michael Swiencki, Chief Operating Officer at Coretek. "Achieving ISO/IEC 42001 demonstrates that we've established the policies, processes, and accountability needed to help organizations deploy AI responsibly at scale. It gives our clients confidence that we're applying the same disciplined governance framework internally that we recommend to them."

The certification validates Coretek's Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS), establishing governance processes across the AI lifecycle, including risk management, human oversight, security, continuous monitoring, regulatory alignment, and ongoing improvement. These practices help ensure AI solutions are developed and implemented in a manner that supports business objectives while maintaining ethical, secure, and responsible operations.

As a Microsoft AI Cloud Partner and trusted advisor to enterprise organizations, Coretek helps customers modernize operations, strengthen cybersecurity, and accelerate business transformation through Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Security, Microsoft Fabric, and Microsoft AI technologies. Achieving ISO/IEC 42001 further strengthens Coretek's ability to help organizations operationalize AI while meeting evolving governance, compliance, and security expectations.

"Responsible AI requires more than strong technology, it requires strong governance," said Tyler Hopperton, Chief Security Officer at Coretek. "ISO/IEC 42001 validates that our AI management system incorporates rigorous oversight, risk management, security, and continuous improvement throughout the AI lifecycle. As regulatory expectations continue to evolve, our clients can move forward knowing they're working with a partner that prioritizes security, transparency, and responsible innovation from day one."

As organizations transition from AI experimentation to enterprise-scale adoption, the need for trusted governance frameworks has never been greater. Coretek's ISO/IEC 42001 certification provides customers with additional assurance that the company's AI-enabled services are backed by internationally recognized management practices designed to promote transparency, accountability, and continual improvement.
