We’re excited to announce Cohere has achieved the ISO/IEC 42001 and 27001 certifications — a major independent validation of our enterprise-ready approach to building AI solutions that are safe and secure.

ISO/IEC 42001 is the world’s first AI management system standard. It requires organizations to demonstrate rigorous governance and transparency standards to effectively identify and manage potential risks of AI systems.

ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for information security, showing that organizations have implemented a systematic approach to managing information security risk and protecting private information.

Together, these certifications reflect the strength of our commitment to Secure AI – AI that is not only powerful and cutting-edge, but which has the highest standards of security and trust built into its foundations. Meeting these standards is part of our core principle that AI must be secure by design. While some companies are just beginning to think about AI security and governance, Cohere has made it a priority from the start.

What it means for our customers

These certifications come at a pivotal moment. As new AI regulations emerge globally it’s becoming more important for organizations to prove that the systems they use are safe, secure, and compliant. In this environment, Cohere aims to reduce risk, allowing enterprises to accelerate their AI deployments and innovate with confidence.

All of Cohere’s leading enterprise AI solutions, across all deployment methods, are in scope for the ISO 42001 and ISO 27001 certifications.

"We prioritize security, trust and governance as cornerstones of our operations, ensuring that enterprises can confidently rely on us as their provider for secure, reliable, and innovative AI solutions. We believe that compliance should be an outcome of a strong security posture, and these certifications reinforce our ongoing commitment to excellence in safeguarding our customers' data and systems." — Prutha Parikh, AI Security and Risk Management Leader, Cohere

Both frameworks require a dedication to continuous monitoring and improvement, challenging us to constantly raise the bar – strengthening oversight, improving transparency, and making sure our AI systems remain secure, safe, and aligned with the highest global standards.
