Quadrasystems.net Among the First in India to Achieve ISO/IEC 42001:2023, the World’s First International Standard for AI Management Systems
July 5, 2026
Quadrasystems.net India Private Limited today announced that its AI practice has achieved ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification, the world’s first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems, following a successful audit by TÜV SÜD. A small number of organisations worldwide hold this certification; Quadrasystems.net is among the first in India.
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 establishes auditable requirements for how organisations govern AI across its full lifecycle — risk management, accountability structures, data practices, deployment controls, and incident response. Certification requires an independent external audit; organisations cannot self-attest.
The Challenge: AI Governance Becomes a Business Requirement
The certification arrives as enterprises face mounting pressure to demonstrate AI governance. Boards increasingly require assurance before AI systems touch revenue, customer data, or regulated operations. Procurement and vendor-risk teams in banking, pharmaceutical, and healthcare sectors have begun assessing AI governance as part of vendor due diligence. AI regulation across major markets, including the European Union’s AI Act, is converging on management-system requirements that ISO/IEC 42001 directly addresses.
Tangible Impact: Independently Verified AI Governance
For Quadra’s clients, the certification provides an independently verified answer to those demands. Organisations deploying AI systems built and governed by a certified practice inherit a documented, externally audited governance framework, reducing their own compliance and vendor-risk burden.
Quadra’s proactive engagement in scoping, rapid prototyping, and iterative alignment significantly accelerated validation and progress across key use cases. Beyond just delivering the solution, the team also played a pivotal role in helping us define DevOps practices for Copilot and supported our internal teams in understanding and resolving copilot related queries.
Additionally, Quadra’s ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification reflects the level of rigor, discipline, and best practices that were clearly evident throughout the engagement.

The certification scope covers Quadra’s AI practice, which designs and deploys production-grade AI systems for clients across banking, manufacturing, healthcare, and pharmaceutical sectors.
Prashanth Subramanian, Co-Founder and Director, Quadrasystems.net India Private Limited, said:
“For our clients deploying AI in regulated industries, ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification is a due-diligence answer. When a board or a regulator asks how their AI vendor is governed, our clients now hold an independently audited response.”
