We are proud to announce a major milestone in Flat Rock Technology’s ongoing commitment to innovation, responsibility, and trust – we have officially achieved ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification, the world’s first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS).
With this achievement, Flat Rock Technology becomes among the first companies in Bulgaria, Georgia, and the UK to attain this prestigious certification. We are also proud to say we are the first UK-based software development and outsourcing company to meet the ISO 42001 standard.
Why ISO 42001, why now?
Artificial Intelligence is transforming industries and redefining what’s possible – from automating complex tasks to delivering more personalized services. However, with great power comes great responsibility. As the AI landscape grows more complex and widespread, businesses, governments, and users alike are asking the same questions: Can we trust the AI? How is it governed? Is it ethical, safe, and secure?
At Flat Rock Technology, we believe that answering these questions requires accountability. That’s why we pursued ISO 42001.
What is ISO/IEC 42001?
ISO 42001 is the first globally recognized standard for managing AI systems throughout their lifecycle. It provides a robust governance framework for:
• Ethical and accountable AI usage
• Risk and performance management
• Transparent and explainable decision-making
• Security and data integrity
• Continuous monitoring and improvement
This standard helps ensure that AI systems are not only technically sound but also developed and operated with fairness, safety, and societal impact in mind.
Why this certification matters – for us and for our clients
Achieving ISO 42001 is more than a box checked—it’s a signal to our clients, partners, and industry peers that Flat Rock Technology is serious about responsible innovation. Here’s why it matters:
• Trust and transparency – We provide assurance that our AI solutions meet international standards—ensuring ethical behavior, fairness, and safety.
• Competitive edge – As AI becomes a core component of business strategy, having certified governance is becoming a requirement, not a luxury. We're already there.
• First-mover advantage – In Bulgaria, Georgia, and the UK, we're proud to be among the early adopters—and the first in our sector.
• Enabling clients’ compliance – Organizations that work with us gain the confidence of working with a certified partner that’s already aligned with the highest AI governance frameworks.
