Artificial intelligence is reshaping every corner of the enterprise, and for security leaders, one question remains constant:

“Can AI be trusted?”

At Abnormal AI, we believe the answer behind our AI-native solutions must always be yes. As we continue to develop AI-powered products that redefine how thousands of enterprises secure their people and data, we’re proud to announce that Abnormal has been awarded the ISO/IEC 42001:2023 Artificial Intelligence Management Systems certification.

This achievement underscores Abnormal’s steadfast commitment to building leading AI systems responsibly, transparently, and in direct service of the organizations that depend on us.

ISO 42001 is the world’s first international management system standard designed specifically for artificial intelligence, establishing clear requirements for ethical governance, risk management, and accountability in operations. For Abnormal, earning ISO 42001 affirms that our platform is governed with the same high standards that define our company mission, with integrity and safety as our guiding principles.

The AI certification process was conducted by a leading assessor, validating the strength of Abnormal’s AI governance and risk practices through a rigorous, multi-stage audit. This milestone builds upon our existing ISO 27001 certification and related frameworks, underscoring Abnormal’s holistic and consistent approach to compliance and trust.

Responsible AI governance is not a barrier to innovation but the foundation that makes it sustainable. That principle has guided Abnormal as we built our security platform to be AI-native from the start—no retrofitting, no bolted-on AI features to support marketing gimmicks.

The Abnormal detection engine analyzes identity, behavior, and contextual signals to understand human intent and stop the sophisticated social engineering attacks that easily bypass legacy defenses. We’ve always known AI is the only way to keep pace with bad actors who are constantly evolving their tactics by misusing AI and other new technologies maliciously.

With that knowledge comes a mandate to prove that AI can also be safe, trustworthy, and aligned with the best interests of our customers. The ISO 42001 certification provides yet another independent validation of that commitment.

Being AI-first is a core operating principle at Abnormal. Recently, that stance was recognized by major analyst evaluations and placement on industry lists such as the 2025 CNBC Disruptor 50 and being named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Email Security Platforms. This recognition has been matched by the increasing trust we’re seeing from customers across sectors, including highly regulated industries like the federal government.

​​Building on this momentum, the ISO 42001 certification positions Abnormal among the early cybersecurity adopters to meet a crucial global benchmark for responsible AI. For our customers, it means added assurance that the behavioral intelligence protecting their collaborative cloud environments is developed and managed with accountability and rigor.

This milestone reflects more than compliance. It shows how Abnormal’s approach to AI balances innovation with integrity to deliver a platform that doesn’t compromise on results or trust. That balance is why enterprises worldwide—including 25% of the Fortune 500—continue to choose Abnormal as their partner in defending against modern cyber threats.
