Pentera First in Adversarial-Security-AI to Achieve ISO 42001 Certification

Certification underscores Pentera's commitment to safe AI usage and innovation

BOSTON, July 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pentera announces today that it has achieved certification for ISO/IEC 42001:2023, the new international standard for AI management systems. Pentera is the first Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) vendor to meet this rigorous compliance benchmark, reinforcing its leadership in developing AI capabilities responsibly and securely.

ISO/IEC 42001 is the first international standard for AI management systems. It provides a framework for establishing, implementing, and improving controls around the development and use of AI, with a focus on transparency, accountability, and the mitigation of AI-related risks.

Pentera's certification includes the company's:

• Operational use of AI within the platform, such as features like Pentera's recently announced AI Security Insights report
• Development processes, including how AI is researched, built, and governed across teams
• AI implementation, encompassing how AI is used internally across departments, tools, and decision-making processes

At a time when AI regulation is evolving rapidly, Pentera applies the same safe-by-design principles, in-production testing safeguards, and controlled deployment procedures to its AI  approach to security validation. Governance over AI development and implementation is led by a steering committee of domain experts from across the organization, ensuring responsible execution and adherence to strict operational standards.

"As more organizations embrace AI, concerns around safety and responsible development are rising fast," said Alex Spivakovsky, VP of Cybersecurity at Pentera. "Safety by design has always been at the core of how we built our platform, and AI is not changing that. We've already built a secure foundation for AI-based analysis of cyber risk data, and every AI capability we add moving forward will meet the same standard: Governed for safe enterprise use from day one."
