ISO/IEC 42001 Management Review Pack
Generate the board pack and minutes skeleton for your AI management system's management review: every review input with worked sample text, a KPI dashboard, top management's conclusions and a tracked decisions-and-actions log.
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
- Management review is a performance-evaluation requirement of ISO/IEC 42001: top management periodically reviews whether the AI management system is still suitable, adequate and effective.
- The template has a section for each review input — from status of previous actions to opportunities for improvement — pre-filled with realistic sample paragraphs to replace.
- A KPI table with red/amber/green status and a decisions-and-actions log with owners, due dates and sources.
- The summary checks every input is covered, counts red KPIs and flags overdue or unowned actions — the things an auditor looks for first.
Frequently asked questions
What does an ISO/IEC 42001 management review need to cover?
In outline: progress on actions from earlier reviews, changes in the issues and expectations that affect your AI management system, how well AI objectives are being met, nonconformities and corrective actions, monitoring and measurement results, audit results, the status of AI risks and opportunities, feedback from interested parties, whether resources are adequate, and opportunities to improve. The outputs are top management's decisions on improvement and on any changes needed. Check the exact wording against your own copy of the standard.
How often should management review happen?
The standard asks for planned intervals rather than a fixed frequency. Most organisations review at least annually, and quarterly in the first year of an AI management system or when the AI estate is changing quickly.
Can I combine it with our ISO/IEC 27001 management review?
Yes — many organisations run one integrated review. Keep the AI-specific inputs visible (AI objectives, impact assessments, AI incidents, supplier changes) so the record shows they were considered rather than lost in the security agenda.
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.
