Company Achieves ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF
Alignment for Ethical AI
PLEASANTON, Calif., June 12,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY),
the AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, today
announced that it has earned two highly respected third party
accreditations for its AI governance program. These certifications
affirm Workday's leadership in building AI responsibly and
fostering trust in its products and services.
Workday has achieved ISO 42001 accreditation, a prestigious
international recognition signifying the company's commitment to
developing AI responsibly and transparently. The company also
received independent attestation of alignment with the National
Institute of Standards in Technology AI Risk Management Framework
(NIST AI RMF), a rigorous set of best practices developed by the
U.S. Department of Commerce that demonstrates the company's ability
to manage AI risks effectively when developing AI.
Workday proactively and voluntarily underwent these stringent
evaluations to provide customers with unparalleled confidence in
the company's AI development practices. These accreditations,
independently verified by leading assessors Schellman and Coalfire,
underscore Workday's dedication to developing AI responsibly,
including protections for fundamental human rights, safety,
security, and privacy.
"Workday is committed to developing AI that amplifies human
potential and inspires trust," said Dr. Kelly Trindel, chief responsible AI officer,
Workday. "Our robust responsible AI governance program is key to
delivering the innovative, trustworthy products our customers
expect, and this dual recognition affirms our leadership in this
critical area."
In light of rapidly evolving AI standards and regulations, this
strategic step directly addresses any concerns about how the
company identifies and mitigates potential AI risks to fundamental
human rights and safety.
"Workday demonstrated a strong AI governance program along with
the internal expertise to manage the risks induced by using AI
within their SaaS products," said Mandy
Pote, managing principal, Coalfire. "During the assessment,
Workday not only articulated the design of its AI program but also
provided clear documentation and evidence to substantiate its AI
risk practices."
"We are proud to have been Workday's trusted partner in
achieving ISO 42001 certification. As a leader in enterprise cloud
applications for finance and HR, Workday continues to set the
standard for responsible AI in the technology sector," said
Danny Manimbo, principal and ISO
practice leader, Schellman. "This achievement reflects their
commitment to embedding trust, transparency, and governance into
the very core of their AI-driven innovations—values we are proud to
support."
