ISO/IEC 42001:2023, introduced in December 2023, is the world’s first AI-specific management system standard, setting requirements for risk management, responsible development, and accountability in AI operations. Abnormal AI’s certification, announced at the Black Hat USA 2025 conference in Las Vegas, positions it as a pioneer in ethical AI practices. “Earning ISO 42001 places Abnormal among the earliest companies certified under this new standard,” said Mike Britton, CIO at Abnormal AI. “It’s about more than compliance—it’s about leading the way in how AI should be built and deployed.”
In addition to ISO 42001, Abnormal AI completed surveillance audits for ISO 27001 (information security) and ISO 27701 (privacy), demonstrating a holistic commitment to governance, risk, and compliance. These certifications validate Abnormal’s AI-native platform, which uses machine learning to detect sophisticated cyber threats, including socially-engineered attacks, across email and applications like Slack, Workday, and Zoom.
Abnormal AI serves over 3,200 organizations, including 25% of the Fortune 500, with rapid deployment via API integrations for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. The ISO 42001 certification addresses enterprise skepticism about AI, as noted by Britton, enhancing trust in Abnormal’s anomaly detection engine. The company’s focus on human behavior security aligns with the growing need for robust AI governance, as outlined in the ISO 42001 framework, which emphasizes ethical practices and transparency.
Abnormal AI’s early adoption of ISO 42001 strengthens its market position, particularly as enterprises prioritize secure AI solutions. However, the certification’s value depends on sustained compliance and integration across its expanding client base. Competition from firms like Red Hat OpenShift AI, also ISO 42001-certified, requires Abnormal to differentiate through execution and innovation. The lack of public financial data limits insights into profitability, but its Fortune 500 client base suggests strong market traction.
Abnormal AI is a leading AI-native human behavior security platform, leveraging machine learning to stop sophisticated inbound attacks and detect compromised accounts across email and connected applications. Trusted by over 3,200 organizations, including 25% of the Fortune 500, Abnormal integrates with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, and more, delivering instant value through API-driven deployment.
