Control A.2.4: Review of the AI Policy

AI technologies evolve rapidly, and so do the risks, regulations, and ethical considerations around them. That’s why Annex A Control A.2.4 of ISO/IEC 42001 requires organizations to regularly review their AI policies. A static, one-time policy cannot keep pace with shifting threats, compliance obligations, or business objectives.

🔑 What Does This Control Require?

This control emphasizes the need for organizations to:

  • Periodically review the AI policy at defined intervals (e.g., annually).
  • Trigger reviews when significant changes occur, such as:
    • Adoption of new AI technologies.
    • Updates in laws or regulatory requirements.
    • Major incidents involving AI.
    • Changes in organizational strategy.
  • Ensure continuous relevance of AI policies to both internal operations and external expectations.

✅ Why Is Regular Review Crucial?

  • Keeps AI governance up-to-date – Ensures policies remain aligned with emerging risks, technologies, and compliance obligations.
  • Builds trust with stakeholders – Demonstrates that AI is being governed responsibly and dynamically.
  • Improves resilience – Helps organizations adapt quickly to disruptions or regulatory changes.
  • Supports continuous improvement – Regular reviews lead to better, more practical, and effective AI controls.

📌 Implementation Tips

  • Establish a policy review calendar (e.g., every 12 months).
  • Assign responsible owners for initiating and documenting reviews.
  • Maintain a policy review log that captures:
    • Review date
    • Changes made
    • Approvals received
  • Involve cross-functional stakeholders (compliance, IT, data science, legal, ethics committees) to ensure all perspectives are considered.

By embedding reviews into your governance cycle, you ensure that AI policies evolve alongside both your business and the wider AI ecosystem.
