The challenges Indian businesses face
India has no domestic AI law yet: ISO 42001:2023 is the most credible governance signal Indian buyers and regulators currently recognize. Yet most organizations lack the management system needed to pass a Stage 2 implementation audit.
Policies are fragmented, ownership is unclear, risk treatment is incomplete, and documentation is rarely strong enough for formal assurance or certification readiness.
Organizations often face challenges including:
- AI tools deployed without formal governance structure: creating board-level accountability gaps
- No consistent method to assess and treat AI-related risk across internal and third-party systems
- Weak documentation, ownership, and approval processes that fail under audit scrutiny
- Limited alignment between AI, privacy, security, and compliance teams: leading to siloed controls
- Third-party AI use with unclear controls, vendor oversight, and data handling agreements
- Uncertainty about what certification readiness actually requires: including Annex A controls A.6 (impact assessment), A.8 (data governance), and A.9 (third-party AI)
