Defined roles and ownership
Connect each governed agent to a defined job, identity, accountable owner, and approved operating boundary.
ISO/IEC 42001 evidence for governed agents
Turn agent operations into reviewable evidence
Keep identity, authority, policy results, data handling, actions, and outcomes together. Use the run record as operational evidence within your wider AI management system.

The Management-System Context
ISO/IEC 42001 Is Broader Than a Product Feature
ISO/IEC 42001 specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an artificial intelligence management system. It is an organisation-wide system of policies, objectives, processes, responsibilities, review, and improvement.
Difinity does not replace that management system. It contributes operational controls and traceable evidence for agents that act across enterprise systems.
What Difinity Contributes
Evidence From the Work the Agent Actually Performed
Policy in operation
Show how configured permissions, organisational policy, and sensitive-data controls operated during the run.
Traceable agent activity
Retain the agent and version, the tool proposed and its arguments, the gateway decision, any approval asked for and answered, redactions recorded by kind, and the action executed with its outcome.
Review and improvement evidence
Use run evidence to identify exceptions, change authority, refine policy, and support continual improvement.
From Control to Improvement
Run, inspect, decide, improve
01
Define the operating boundary
Give the agent a job, identity, owner, and pre-approved access and actions.
02
Apply controls during the run
Keep permissions, policy, the credential boundary and sensitive-data protections in the execution path.
03
Inspect the evidence
Review what the agent attempted, which policies applied, where it stopped, and what outcome it produced.
04
Improve the system
Use observed behaviour to narrow, change, or expand authority and to strengthen the surrounding process.
Important Boundary
Operational Evidence Supports the AIMS. It Is Not the AIMS.
Difinity does not certify an organisation against ISO/IEC 42001 and does not cover every management-system requirement by itself. It gives teams a defensible record of governed agent activity that can be used within the organisation's broader management and audit processes.
Questions
ISO/IEC 42001 and Agent Governance
No. Certification is performed by an independent certification body. Difinity can provide agent-level controls and operational evidence that support an organisation's wider AI management system and audit preparation.
Governed run records can show identity, ownership, approved authority, policy results, data handling, actions, exceptions, human review, and outcomes. Teams can use that evidence in risk, performance, internal review, and continual-improvement processes.
No. ISO/IEC 42001 is an organisation-wide management system covering policies, objectives, processes, roles, review, and continual improvement. Difinity contributes operational controls and evidence for the agents governed through the platform.
Start with one bounded agent job. Define its owner and authority, run it with policy and data controls, inspect the evidence, and decide what needs to change before expanding its responsibility.
