HCLTech Secures ISO/IEC 42001:2023 Certification Demonstrating Leadership in Responsible AI​

HCLTech, a leading global technology company, has achieved ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification for its Enterprise Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS). This achievement affirms HCLTech's capability to support enterprises scaling AI adoption through strong governance, risk management, and operational rigor.

The certification, issued by Schellman Compliance, LLC, an accredited body recognized by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), validates HCLTech’s enterprise-wide framework for responsibly developing, deploying, and governing AI within its AIMS scope. The scope covers various AI lifecycle processes across AI-enabled services and platforms. This includes support for the flagship AI Force platform, as well as software engineering, IT operations, and business process services.

The certification enables HCLTech to assist enterprises in consistently governing AI across systems, functions, and geographies, aligning with evolving global regulatory requirements such as the EU AI Act. ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is recognized globally as the first international standard for AI management systems. It provides a comprehensive framework covering risk management, transparency, fairness, accountability, and continuous improvement across the full system lifecycle.

"ISO 42001 certification takes on a different level of significance at an organization the size and complexity of HCLTech," said Avani Desai, Chief Executive Officer of Schellman. "This isn't simply about documenting policies; it's about embedding responsible AI governance into how the business operates every day. As organizations move from AI experimentation to enterprise adoption, the ability to demonstrate disciplined governance will become a key differentiator. HCLTech has set a strong example of what that looks like."

Vijay Guntur, Chief Technology Officer and Head of Ecosystems at HCLTech, stated that achieving the ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification reflects the company's commitment to building and delivering AI responsibly at scale. He added that this certification provides independent assurance through their certified AI Management System across the delivery model, reinforcing their ability to support clients in deploying AI with confidence.

This milestone positions HCLTech among a select group of organizations possessing independently validated capabilities in managing AI at scale, differentiated by the depth and breadth of its certified scope across the enterprise AI value chain.
