Technology and SaaS companies face increasing pressure from enterprise clients requiring ISO 27001 certifications as a contractual prerequisite. Simultaneously, integrating AI models into SaaS products introduces governance risks that ISO 42001 helps structure. An independent assessment maps normative gaps and accelerates certification readiness.
78% of enterprise buyers in LATAM require ISO 27001 as a minimum prerequisite for contracting a SaaS provider. However, 61% of tech startups in the region operate without a formal ISMS. The gap widens when products incorporate AI components without a governance framework aligned to ISO 42001.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 — Information security
ISO/IEC 42001:2023 — AI management
ISO/IEC 27701:2019 — Privacy information management
SOC 2 Type II — Service and trust controls
It is not a formal requirement, but it is highly recommended. ISO 42001 references information security controls that ISO 27001 already structures. Organizations addressing both standards in an integrated manner reduce implementation effort by 30-40% compared to addressing them separately.
Without ISO 27001, the organization is excluded from enterprise client tender processes and due diligence. A readiness assessment identifies current gaps and generates an action plan with realistic timelines to achieve certification, typically between 6 and 12 months depending on existing system maturity.
73% of organizations in LATAM operate with AI models deployed without formal governance (Shadow AI). In a SaaS company, this means models trained on client data may generate biases, leak confidential information, or make non-auditable decisions. ISO 42001 provides the framework to register, evaluate, and govern each AI component of the product.
