AI governance built
before the FDA asks for it.

Compliance Group is the only life sciences compliance firm with an ISO/IEC 42001-certified AI Management System — building AI governance frameworks that make every decision traceable and explainable, keeping you inspection-ready before the FDA finds the gap.

The Window Is Closing

The FDA is already including AI governance questions in current inspections. ISO/IEC 42001 is the standard inspectors are beginning to reference. The window between 'optional' and 'expected' is 12–18 months. Organizations without frameworks are getting observations today.

What success looks like

What AI governance looks like when it's built to hold up under scrutiny.

Defensible AI governance before the auditor asks

ISO/IEC 42001-aligned framework, model risk assessments, human oversight mechanisms, audit trails—documented and defensible before your next inspection.

Compliance that scales with AI adoption

A governance framework that grows with your AI program—not a point-in-time assessment that's outdated when your team deploys the next model.

AI Validation your team can actually count on

A proven AI Validation approach that makes AI dependable by ensuring models are transparent, testable, and inspection-ready throughout their lifecycle. A scalable approach that stood the test of audits at major Life Sciences companies.

One certified partner across AI and compliance

The team that built AI under ISO/IEC 42001 is also the team governing your compliance program. No interpretive gaps between your AI vendor and your QA team.

The only ISO/IEC 42001-certified AI Management System purpose-built for Life Sciences compliance. Every AI decision is governed, traceable, explainable, and audit-ready.

The AI governance gap

Most life sciences organizations are dangerously behind—and the FDA is already asking questions.

87% of life sciences companies plan to deploy AI in quality processes within 24 months. Fewer than 12% have a documented AI governance framework. That's not a technology gap. It's a regulatory exposure gap—and it's growing every quarter.

AI is in the building—governance isn't

Classification, summarization, decision support—your teams use AI tools. There's no documented framework, no ISO/IEC 42001 posture, and no audit-ready trail.

FDA AI inspection questions are already active

Inspectors are asking about AI governance controls in current inspections. Organizations without documented frameworks are receiving observations. This is not a future risk.

EU AI Act timelines are firming up

High-risk medical AI has specific conformity assessment requirements. Human oversight mechanism documentation must exist before market entry.

ISO/IEC 42001 requires operational governance, not a document

The AI Management System standard covers risk assessments, impact analyses, monitoring, and continuous improvement—not just a policy document with the right acronyms.

Audit trail requirements are different for AI systems

AI decision support in a regulated workflow requires specific audit trail architecture—what the model saw, what it recommended, what the human decided, and why.

Generic AI governance frameworks don't translate

ISO/IEC 42001 designed for enterprise AI doesn't map directly to GxP workflows. You need a firm that understands both the standard and the regulated environment simultaneously.

What we deliver

AI governance built on 25 years of GxP expertise.
