GitLab Achieves ISO/IEC 42001 Certification for Responsible AI Governance

GitLab Joins the Leaders in Ethical AI by Securing ISO/IEC 42001 Certification

In a landmark achievement, GitLab has become one of the first organisations worldwide to receive the ISO/IEC 42001 certification, underscoring its commitment to responsible artificial intelligence (AI) governance. This newly released international standard offers organisations a framework to manage and govern AI systems in an ethical and transparent manner.

GitLab, known for its holistic DevSecOps platform, successfully met the stringent criteria of ISO/IEC 42001, which focuses on establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an AI Management System. This certification solidifies GitLab’s role as a leader not only in developer platforms but also in the responsible development and deployment of machine learning and AI technologies.

The ISO/IEC 42001 standard covers crucial areas such as AI risk management, human oversight, transparency, and bias mitigation. In adhering to these principles, GitLab ensures that its AI solutions align with societal, legal, and ethical expectations, not just within its platform but across the entire software lifecycle.

For GitLab users across industries—whether in fintech, healthcare, public sector, or technology—this certification represents a renewed assurance that the AI capabilities within GitLab are designed with responsibility, compliance, and trust in mind. GitLab’s approach aims to empower teams to accelerate innovation without compromising security or ethics.

The certification process was verified by Schellman, an ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) accredited certification body, which audited GitLab’s AI systems and controls thoroughly. As AI becomes increasingly integral to software development, this milestone serves as a beacon for ethical adoption in the DevOps landscape.

At IDEA GitLab Solutions, we are proud to support organisations across Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Macedonia, United Kingdom, Israel, South Africa, and Paraguay in adopting a responsible DevSecOps approach—offering expert consultancy, implementation, training, and GitLab licensing services.
