Protect data.
Safeguard privacy. Govern AI.
Data Trust Tricertification with the 5 Ticks StandardsMark™.
Demonstrate proven, independent assurance across information security (ISO/IEC 27001), artificial intelligence (ISO/IEC 42001) and privacy (ISO/IEC 27701) to build lasting customer trust in the AI era.
Your customers expect two things: that their data is secure and their privacy is respected. As AI accelerates, the stakes get higher - regulators demand more, and so do your customers. Earning - and keeping - trust requires visible, verified assurance.

Certification
Audits
4
Ongoing Assurance
Surveillance 1 (or first surveillance audit). Minimum frequency is one year, so it must be completed within 12 months following certification.
Surveillance 2 is conducted in the second year of certification.
Re-certification (tri-annual) audit is conducted during the third year of certification and must be completed before the certification expiry date.
Prove trust,
not just claim it.
Our Data Trust tricertification pathway integrates information security, management system artificial intelligence governance and privacy information management system certifications to help you design, implement, and evidence robust controls across the data lifecycle and AI-enabled processes.
Independent assessment against ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC42001 and ISO/IEC 27701.
The 5 Ticks StandardsMark™ is a recognised symbol that signals independently verified conformance. It gives your stakeholders a clear, simple answer to one big question: Can we trust you with our data?

FAQs
Q1: How does Data Trust Tricertification help with AI governance?
A: ISO/IEC 27001, 42001 and 27701 provide the foundation for secure, privacy-aware AI. Our audits help you map controls to AI use cases, covering data access, model training, testing, monitoring, and accountability.
Q2: Do we need all three ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 42001 and ISO/IEC 27701?
A: Together, they strengthen information security, data privacy and enable responsible and trustworthy AI governance. ISO/IEC 27701 extends your 27001 controls to personal data governance and accountability and AI ensures that the relevant systems are transparent, explainable, fair, and accountable.
Q3: How long does tricertification take?
A: Timelines vary by scope and readiness. Most programs include readiness, audit, and remediation cycles. We’ll provide a tailored plan after an initial assessment.
Q4: What if we’re early in our AI journey?
A: That’s ideal. Building controls before scale reduces risk and speeds up approvals for AI initiatives.
Q5: What will our stakeholders see?
A: Certificates (upon success), audit outcomes, and the 5 Ticks StandardsMark™ - a clear signal of trusted assurance.
Q6: Do you offer training?
A: Yes. You can learn more about our in-person and online courses here
