ISO/IEC 42001 Evidence Binder
Track every evidence artefact an ISO/IEC 42001 auditor is likely to ask for — by management-system clause (Context to Improvement) and by Annex A area (A.2 to A.10) — with status, owner, due date and location.
Template & sample only — a structured starting point with sample content, not legal, audit, certification or investment advice. Subscribers customise it with their own details and generate the document for their own work.
What this template gives you
- Certification audits are won or lost on evidence: auditors sample records, not intentions.
- This binder lists 35 artefacts across the management-system clauses (Clause 4 Context to Clause 10 Improvement) and the Annex A areas A.2 to A.10.
- Track each as Missing, Draft, Approved or N/A, with owner, due date and where it is stored; material gaps are flagged.
- Export the index for your audit lead and keep it in step with your Statement of Applicability.
Frequently asked questions
What evidence does an ISO/IEC 42001 audit need?
Documented information showing the management system is defined and working: scope, policy, risk and impact assessments, the Statement of Applicability, objectives, competence records, operational records, monitoring results, internal audit, management review and corrective actions — plus evidence for the Annex A controls you have declared applicable.
Is this list complete for my certification body?
It is a template of commonly requested artefacts, written in our own words. Your certification body, scope and Statement of Applicability determine what is actually sampled; adapt the list accordingly.
Is this a finished document I can rely on?
No. Every tool in this suite is a template with sample content. It gives you a structured, editable starting point and generates a document from your own answers, but it is not legal, audit, certification, investment or professional advice. Review and adapt the output, and have it checked by the appropriate specialist before you rely on it.
Who can use it?
The page and sample are public. Customising the template with your own details and exporting the generated document (Word, PDF, Markdown, CSV) is part of any PlayCISO paid plan. Your work is saved in your own browser.
