Shearwater Group company achieves landmark AI Certification

Shearwater subsidiary, Brookcourt Solutions, becomes one of the first
companies in the UK to receive ISO 42001 AI Management Certification

Shearwater Group plc, the cybersecurity, advisory, and managed security
services group, is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Brookcourt
Solutions Limited, has become one of the first organisations in the UK to
achieve certification against ISO 42001, the pioneering international standard
for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS).

ISO 42001, developed by the International Organisation for Standardisation
(ISO) in partnership with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC),
was released in early 2024. It provides a comprehensive framework for
organisations to manage Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems responsibly,
ethically, and effectively. Certification to the standard demonstrates an
organisation's commitment to transparent and accountable AI governance.

Brookcourt Solutions currently employs AI technologies to enhance the
efficiency and performance of its Sales and Marketing operations. Achieving
ISO 42001 certification reflects the organisation's dedication to best
practice in AI governance and further supports its position as a leader in
secure, transparent, and ethical AI deployment.

The certification programme was led by Xcina Consulting, Shearwater's
governance, risk and compliance advisory arm. Xcina's team of certified
experts support clients in navigating complex regulatory landscapes and
achieving compliance with leading governance and cyber maturity frameworks,
including ISO 42001.

This achievement demonstrates Shearwater Group's ongoing commitment to
pioneering cybersecurity standards and responsible AI use, reinforcing its
position at the forefront of digital risk protection.

Phil Higgins, CEO of Shearwater Group plc, commented:

"We are incredibly proud that Brookcourt Solutions is one of the first
organisations in the UK to achieve ISO 42001 certification. This milestone not
only reinforces our commitment to ethical and responsible AI practices but
also reflects the deep expertise within our group in setting industry
standards for cybersecurity and digital governance. As AI continues to
transform business, we are dedicated to ensuring it is deployed in a secure,
transparent, and human-centric manner.

This achievement underscores Shearwater Group's ongoing leadership in
cybersecurity and responsible AI adoption.  It also positions Xcina
Consulting as a trusted partner for organisations aiming to adopt cutting-edge
governance frameworks as they seek to navigate new regulatory and
technological landscape.  We encourage organisations looking to strengthen
their AI governance to engage with our experienced team."
