We were delighted to issue PwC Taiwan our first-ever ISO/IEC 42001 (AI management system or AIMS) certificate in Taiwan.
As AI technology rapidly transforms industries, corporate boards face unprecedented challenges in balancing technological innovation with system transparency, data privacy and increasingly strict global regulations.
PwC Taiwan, a leading professional services and accounting firm, wanted to establish a trusted benchmark for the local market. Leading by example, it transformed its operations into a testing ground for strict AI governance.
ISO/IEC 42001 certification proves that PwC Taiwan possesses the real-world experience to help Taiwanese companies manage complex tech risks and implement AIMS projects.
PwC Taiwan CDO CJ said: "AI is no longer just a simple technology. It is now an important operational risk for the company board to think about. Achieving this certificate shows that PwC Taiwan follows the highest standards for information security and AI quality. We want to be a good example for the Taiwan market. True success comes from putting strict rules into the company culture. This helps companies use new technology safely and win long-term trust from everyone.”
Why ISO/IEC 42001 certification?
AI has been adopted in many industries. Company leaders must balance new ideas with system transparency. ISO/IEC 42001:2023 provides a clear AIMS. Passing our comprehensive audit indicates that PwC Taiwan can effectively identify potential risks, control data access and keep the entire system running throughout the AI life cycle.
