The growth of the management system certification market is being driven by the increasing frequency of data breaches. These breaches involve unauthorized access to sensitive data such as financial records, intellectual property, or personal information. The surge in data breaches is attributed to evolving cybercriminal tactics and vulnerabilities in remote work setups. Management system certification significantly enhances an organization's ability to prevent and manage data breaches by establishing robust frameworks for information security risk management and implementing effective security measures. For instance, in November 2023, the Identity Resource Theft Center reported 2,116 data breaches, surpassing the previous record of 1,862 breaches in 2021. This trend underscores the importance of management system certification in mitigating data breach risks and driving market growth.

AI can analyze large datasets from diverse sources, identifying trends, patterns, and anomalies. This analysis aids certification bodies and organizations in streamlining certification processes, pinpointing areas for enhancement, and making data-driven decisions. For instance, in January 2024, BSI, a UK-based business solutions provider, introduced measures to promote responsible AI management. This initiative includes certification to a cutting-edge management system designed for safe and ethical AI use, aligned with the BS ISO/IEC 42001 standard. It addresses concerns such as non-transparent automated decision-making, machine learning utilization, and continuous learning, thereby facilitating responsible AI adoption.
