While generic, ISO 27001:2022 allows you to define custom risk treatments. We recommend supplementing it with ISO 42001 for full AI governance.

How long is the migration process for an AI startup$3

If you already have SOC 2, migration can be completed in 3-5 months. From scratch, expect 6-9 months.
