Mimecast announced it has achieved ISO 42001 certification
through the certification body, Schellman.
As the world's
first AI Management Systems (AIMS) standard, ISO 42001 is an international

trust in AI-driven solutions.
- Improved
risk management capabilities.
- Greater
confidence in compliance and regulatory alignment.

innovation, building on its previous certifications obtained through the
certification body Schellman for management systems, including Information
Security (ISO 27001), Privacy Information (ISO 27701) and Business Continuity
(ISO 22301) that ensure availability, confidentiality and integrity of
information assets.
Mimecast's
commitment to ethical AI practices is reinforced by its Responsible AI Council,
which plays a critical role in maintaining transparency, ethics and safety
across all AI applications within the company. The council defines governance
policies, adapts to advancements in AI and fosters trust with
