What your customers will ask about

5 headline regulations and standards for AI at SMBs and AI vendors

Few of these were written only for AI. All of them apply to it.

International · Standard

ISO/IEC 42001

The certifiable AI management system standard, now a common requirement in enterprise AI procurement.

For AI: AI risk and impact assessments plus Annex A controls. Asenion customers have achieved certification in as little as six weeks.

Assurance · Customers

SOC 2

The AICPA Trust Services Criteria report most B2B buyers expect.

For AI: Buyers now ask how AI subprocessors, prompts and training data are covered by your SOC 2 controls.

US · Framework

NIST AI RMF 1.0 and GenAI Profile

The Govern, Map, Measure, Manage framework that enterprise security questionnaires reference most.

For AI: A practical structure for AI risk management that maps cleanly to ISO/IEC 42001.

EU · AI regulation

EU AI Act

Applies to providers and deployers whose AI is used in the EU, whatever their size, with some simplifications for SMEs. Transparency duties apply from August 2026; high-risk obligations from December 2027.

For AI: Know whether you are a provider or deployer, classify each AI system, and disclose AI interactions.

US · State law

Colorado SB 26-189

Colorado's AI law for automated decision-making technology in consequential decisions such as hiring, lending, insurance, housing and health care, effective January 1, 2027. It replaced SB 24-205.
