Search and Security Firm Elastic Achieves ISO/IEC 42001 AI Management System Certification
Elastic announced it has obtained ISO/IEC 42001 certification for its AI management system, covering Agent Builder, EIS, and Jina models, aiming to simplify vendor assessments and support EU AI Act compliance.
Elastic, the search, security, and observability platform company, announced on November 9, 2026, that it has achieved ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification for its Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS). This standard is the first international benchmark for AI management systems, requiring organizations to meet specific criteria for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving their AI governance.
The certification covers the development and operation of Elastic's core AI capabilities, including Elastic Agent Builder for building context-aware AI agents, Elastic AI Agent for investigating alerts and analyzing logs, the Elastic Inference Service (EIS) for managing inference, and Jina embedding and reranking models hosted on EIS.
Elastic stated that this independent third-party audit result aims to provide customers with confidence to adopt AI at scale on mission-critical data. For customers, the certification helps simplify vendor assessments in security and procurement reviews and supports their own compliance efforts through a framework closely aligned with regulations such as the EU AI Act.
