How Neuralift got ISO 42001 audit-ready in two weeks
Neuralift went from cold-start to ISO 42001 audit-ready in two weeks — alongside SOC 2 and GDPR — with Vanta and audit partner Consilium Labs. Featured as a Vanta customer story.
Vanta has published a customer story on how we got our ISO 42001 audit preparation done in two weeks — alongside our SOC 2 and GDPR work — using their Trust Management Platform and audit partner Consilium Labs.
If you sell AI to enterprise teams, SOC 2 and ISO 42001 show up in the procurement conversation early. SOC 2 covers the security and operational controls customers expect from any cloud-deployed product. ISO 42001 is the newer one — the international AI management systems standard, designed for the bit of your stack that ships LLMs and neural-network outputs into customer workflows. Together they answer most of the security and AI-governance questions an enterprise legal or compliance team will table on a discovery call.
Following a known standard like ISO 42001 let us build trust early. It didn’t eliminate all the questions — but it made them easier to answer. — Mike Maloney, Co-Founder and CDO
A few specifics from the case study:
- ISO 42001 audit preparation completed in two weeks.
- Vanta’s platform automated evidence collection so we weren’t chasing screenshots and spreadsheets.
- Audit partner Consilium Labs translated standard requirements into actionable steps and validated evidence in real time.
- SOC 2, ISO 42001, and GDPR all running through the same control framework, with overlapping controls reused rather than duplicated.
Compliance is rarely the most exciting part of a startup roadmap, but for an AI company selling into regulated verticals it’s table stakes. Vanta and Consilium let us treat it like one.
