Rhea-AI Summary
Evisort, a leader in AI-native contract intelligence and contract lifecycle management (CLM), has become one of the first companies globally to achieve ISO 42001 accredited certification for responsible AI development and use.

This achievement adds to Evisort's existing certifications in information security (ISO 27001) and privacy (ISO 27701), as well as its annual SOC 2 Type 2 examinations. The company also recently developed the first large language model specifically for contracts. On September 17, 2024, Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY) announced its intention to acquire Evisort.

New certification reinforces Evisort's leadership in delivering world-class AI for unparalleled contract and document intelligence across the business
The ISO/IEC 42001 certification sets standards for the ethical and responsible development and deployment of an AI management system (AIMS). It ensures AI technologies are designed and applied in a manner that is transparent, accountable, and aligned with ethical principles, thereby fostering trust and mitigating potential risks associated with AI applications, like bias.
"With AI innovation happening at breakneck speed, enterprises need the peace of mind that their providers are developing and applying AI following industry-leading principles and standards," said Amine Anoun, Evisort Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer. "We're proud to be one of the first companies in the world to receive an accredited ISO 42001 certification and are even more proud to deliver responsible AI solutions to our customers daily."
The audit of Evisort in the role of both an AI "producer" and "provider" was led by Schellman, an ANAB-accredited certification body and leading global provider of attestation, compliance, and certification services. The audit scrutinized a wide range of aspects, including AI training methodologies and sources, data anonymization and governance, human oversight, transparency and explainability, and third-party risk management.
"Evisort was among the first to reach out to Schellman after the publication of ISO 42001, demonstrating their strong commitment to leading AI Governance in their industry," said Danny Manimbo, Schellman Principal and AI Assessment Leader. "Their senior leadership's full support and preparedness were crucial for the success of this initiative. We were proud to partner with Evisort in pioneering this important endeavor."
Evisort had previously demonstrated its commitment to responsible, enterprise-grade information management by becoming the only AI-native CLM company to be certified for both ISO 27001 (information security) and ISO 27701 (privacy). The company has also held annual SOC 2 Type 2 examinations since 2019 and, in 2023, announced its development of the first large language model (LLM) specifically for contracts, to enhance the accuracy, scalability, and reliability of its AI-powered platform.
