MPS Earns ISO/IEC 42001:2023 Certification, Independent Proof of How It Governs AI

As AI floods the world with content, the premium moves to what can be trusted. MPS can now show, through external audit, how it governs the AI it applies to its clients' work.

CHENNAI, India, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MPS Limited today announced that its Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) has been certified to ISO/IEC 42001:2023, the world's first international standard for AI management systems. The certification was awarded by DNV Business Assurance, which is accredited by the Dutch Accreditation Council (RvA), following a comprehensive multi-stage audit, and confirms that MPS develops, deploys, and manages AI under a governed framework covering risk assessment, human oversight, data governance, transparency, and accountability across the AI lifecycle.

Publishers, universities, and learning companies increasingly want to know who is accountable when AI acts on their content, and whether anyone outside the vendor has checked. ISO/IEC 42001, published by the International Organization for Standardization in December 2023, was written so those questions can be answered with evidence.

What the Certification Covers

The certificate applies to MPS Limited across its delivery centers in Chennai, Noida, Dehradun, and Bangalore, and is valid from August 25, 2026, through August 24, 2029, maintained through annual surveillance audits. The certified management system covers the planning, development, deployment, operation, monitoring, and continual improvement of AI systems for digital learning, scholarly publishing, and platforms, along with associated AI-enabled products and services. This includes AI-driven solutions; AI-enabled content authoring, editorial, and integrity tools; and AI-based analytics and personalization features. Under the certified framework, every AI initiative within the certified scope is subject to structured risk and impact assessment, defined controls, and continuous monitoring.

What This Means for Clients

For MPS clients, the certification gives legal and procurement teams externally validated answers to the questions that increasingly decide enterprise AI adoption: how AI systems are governed, how client content and data are protected, how human oversight is maintained, and how risk is assessed and managed. The standard's requirements also align closely with emerging regulatory expectations, including those under the EU AI Act, a growing priority for clients working in Europe.

Rahul Arora, Chairman and CEO of MPS Limited, said:

"Our clients entrust us with content and platforms that sit at the core of how the world discovers and learns. As we scale AI across everything we build, that trust demands more than good intentions. It demands governance that can be independently examined. This certification reflects a conviction we hold across MPS: the companies that will lead in AI are the ones who can prove they deploy it responsibly."

Alongside Quality and Security

The certification sits alongside MPS's ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 27001 certifications, so MPS now runs AI under the same kind of external audit it applies to quality and information security. Clients can request the certificate and its scope statement from their MPS account team.
