How does EchelonGraph detect ISO/IEC 42001 42001-10.1 violations?

EchelonGraph automatically detects ISO/IEC 42001 42001-10.1 violations using scanner rule ISO42001-10-001. The scanner checks cloud infrastructure configurations in real-time and flags non-compliant resources.

What audit questions are asked for ISO/IEC 42001 42001-10.1?

Show me the corrective-actions log. What was the root cause of the last 3 major findings? Has any root cause recurred? Why? How are improvements communicated organisation-wide?

📐ISO/IEC 42001 42001-10.1Rule: ISO42001-10-001medium

Continual improvement of AIMS

Description

Clause 10.1 — AIMS continually improved based on audit findings, incidents, management review, stakeholder feedback.

⚠️ Risk Impact

AIMS that doesn't visibly improve appears static — implying it's a paper artefact rather than an operating system.

🔍 How EchelonGraph Detects This

ISO42001-10-001Automated scanner rule

EchelonGraph's Tier 1 Cloud Scanner automatically checks for this condition across all connected cloud accounts. Violations are flagged as medium-severity findings with remediation guidance.

🔧 Remediation

Maintain a corrective-actions log. Trend root causes. Track closure rate. Surface improvements to AI Steering Committee.

💀 Real-World Attack Scenario

An org's AIMS appeared stable year-on-year — no major incidents, audit findings all closed. The external auditor noted 'no observable improvement' and queried whether the AIMS was actually operational. Investigation revealed the team was closing findings without root-cause analysis; recurrence was inevitable.

💰 Cost of Non-Compliance

AIMS without continual improvement: typically degrades 15-25% per year on internal effectiveness measures (ISO Survey 2024).

📋 Audit Questions

1.Show me the corrective-actions log.
2.What was the root cause of the last 3 major findings?
3.Has any root cause recurred? Why?
4.How are improvements communicated organisation-wide?

⚡ Common Pitfalls

⛔Closing findings via the action that surfaced them rather than addressing the root cause
⛔No trend analysis on recurring root causes
⛔Improvements that don't propagate to other teams with the same issue

📈 Business Value

Visible continual improvement is the strongest evidence of AIMS operational reality — material in re-certification and customer due diligence.
