The service is intended for startups, mid-sized companies, small and medium-sized enterprises, large companies, local governments and other organizations. The stated policy is to support clients not only through certification but also in progressing toward the next step, ISO/IEC 42001 certification.
C Certification is said to focus on the core aspects of governance relating to the development, provision and use of AI, assessing only 4 core indicators: ① understanding of the AI being used, ② establishment of an organization responsible for risk response, ③ risk assessment and ④ risk response. EY ShinNihon is registered as an accredited consulting firm supporting acquisition of the certification and is said to provide advice to bring clients up to the required standards after reviewing their existing AI use rules and organizational structures.
EY's stated strength is its ability to provide consistent support for establishing the organizational structure needed to pursue ISO/IEC 42001 certification, an international standard that can follow C Certification. Drawing on its independence and expertise as a Japanese audit firm, EY is said to provide phased support, from building basic governance to developing an advanced management system.
