In a major milestone for enterprise AI governance, UiPath (NYSE: PATH) — a global leader in agentic automation — has officially achieved the ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification, the world’s first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS).
The certification, awarded by Schellman, an independent accredited certification body known for its stringent audit processes, underscores UiPath’s commitment to responsible, secure, and transparent AI deployment across its automation platform.
Raising the Bar for Responsible AI
The ISO/IEC 42001 standard establishes a globally recognized framework for the governance and oversight of AI systems — ensuring organizations manage AI technologies ethically, securely, and with accountability throughout their entire lifecycle. 
For UiPath, this certification validates the company’s multi-layered AI governance architecture, which safeguards data, enforces compliance, and maintains transparency across all AI-driven workflows. The UiPath Platform™ now stands out as one of the few automation ecosystems globally to meet the rigorous standards set by ISO for responsible AI management.
The UiPath AI Trust Layer: Governance by Design
At the heart of this achievement is the UiPath AI Trust Layer, a unified governance framework that provides centralized control over model selection, policy enforcement, and data privacy. This ensures that every automation powered by AI within the UiPath ecosystem is safe, transparent, and compliant by design.
Key features include:
- Policy-aware execution to ensure AI actions comply with enterprise rules
- Model transparency for accountability and explainability
- Configurable data retention to support privacy and compliance requirements
Industry Leaders Weigh In
“ISO 42001 certification is more than a milestone; it’s a declaration of trust and transparency in AI,” said Danny Manimbo, AI & ISO Practice Leader at Schellman. “UiPath is setting a new benchmark for how AI should be governed — proving that innovation and accountability can go hand in hand.”
Echoing the sentiment, Scott Roberts, Chief Information Security Officer at UiPath, emphasized, “Our customers operate in some of the most sensitive, compliance-heavy industries. This certification gives them the confidence that our automation platform meets the world’s highest standards for trust, security, and governance.”
Why It Matters
As enterprises increasingly integrate AI-powered agents and automation into mission-critical workflows, the need for trustworthy AI systems has become non-negotiable. UiPath’s certification reinforces confidence in adopting and scaling agentic automation — from financial operations to fraud detection — with strong governance as the foundation.
With ISO/IEC 42001 compliance, UiPath is not just keeping pace with global AI standards — it’s helping define them, leading the industry toward a more transparent and accountable AI future.
