Farmington Hills, Michigan, USA, October 1, 2026 / PRNewswire / -- Coretek is a leading provider of AI, cloud, network security, and hosting services solutions. The company announced today that it has obtained the ISO / IEC 42001 certification. This standard is the world's first international standard for artificial intelligence management systems ( AIMS ). This certification strengthens Coretek's commitment to implementing comprehensive AI governance practices, aiming to help enterprises confidently advance innovation while managing risks, ensuring security, compliance, and transparency.
As enterprises accelerate the adoption of AI in all aspects of their operations, the importance of governance is no less than that of innovation. ISO / IEC 42001 has established a globally recognized framework for managing the development, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement of artificial intelligence systems. By obtaining this certification, Coretek has become one of the first organizations in the world to be certified by ISO / IEC 42001, indicating that its AI governance practices have been independently verified and meet internationally recognized standards.
Coretek Chief Operating Officer Michael Swiencki stated: " AI is rapidly being integrated into core business operations, and governance is just as crucial as innovation. Obtaining the ISO / IEC 42001 certification indicates that we have established policies, processes, and accountability mechanisms that enable us to help companies deploy AI on a large scale in a responsible manner. This also reassures our customers that the governance framework we use internally is the same rigorous one that we recommend to them."
This certification verifies the artificial intelligence management system (AIMS) of Coretek, and establishes a governance process throughout the lifecycle of AI, which includes risk management, human supervision, security, continuous monitoring, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement. These practices help to ensure that the AI solution supports business goals while maintaining ethical, secure, and responsible operations.
As a trusted advisor to Microsoft AI Cloud Partner and corporate clients, Coretek helps customers modernize their operations, strengthen network security, and accelerate business transformation through technologies such as Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Security, Microsoft Fabric, and Microsoft AI. After obtaining the ISO / IEC 42001 certification, Coretek has further enhanced its ability to assist companies in implementing and operating AI, while also meeting the ever-changing governance, compliance, and security requirements.
Coretek Chief Security Officer Tyler Hopperton stated: "Responsible AI not only requires strong technology, but also robust governance. The IEC 42001 has verified that our AI management system incorporates strict supervision, risk management, security, and continuous improvement throughout the entire AI lifecycle. As regulatory requirements continue to evolve, our customers can move forward with confidence, knowing that the partners they collaborate with prioritize security, transparency, and responsible innovation from the very beginning."
As enterprises transition from the AI trial phase to large-scale enterprise-level applications, the need for a credible governance framework has never been more urgent. The ISO / IEC 42001 certification of Coretek provides customers with additional assurance that the company's AI enabling services are built on internationally recognized management practices, aiming to promote transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement.
