Certification

Audits

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.

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
