Theta Lake has announced a new milestone in advancing AI trust and transparency through ISO/IEC 42001 certification, alongside multiple new AI governance capabilities.
The company, recently featured in the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) AI Spotlight, continues to set benchmarks for responsible AI deployment within regulated industries.
The new updates are driven by increasing demand from global enterprises for trustworthy and auditable AI systems. As organisations adopt AI at scale, concerns over ethical use, transparency, and compliance have grown. Theta Lake’s latest product launch directly addresses these challenges, helping firms ensure accountability and security in AI-driven communications.
Founded with a mission to make modern communications safe and compliant, Theta Lake provides advanced supervision, archiving, and risk detection solutions that integrate with collaboration platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex. The company has consistently been recognised by Gartner as the top-ranked provider in Digital Communications Governance and Archiving (DCGA), scoring highest across key use cases including investigations, internal analytics, user governance, and regulatory compliance.
The newly introduced AI Governance and Inspection Suite strengthens Theta Lake’s position as a pioneer in responsible AI technology. It enables detection of risky or non-compliant behaviour in AI communications—known as “aiComms”—and introduces advanced jailbreak behaviour detection to counter attempts by users to bypass information access controls and AI guardrails.
Additional capabilities include new API endpoints for Observability and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) integration, providing security teams with deeper insight into AI communication events. These features allow Security Operations Centres (SOC) to efficiently prioritise and investigate AI-driven alerts, mitigating operational overload by contextualising incidents within Theta Lake’s investigation tools.
Theta Lake’s ISO/IEC 42001 certification is a landmark achievement, underscoring its commitment to responsible AI governance. This internationally recognised standard, designed for organisations developing or using AI-based systems, demonstrates compliance with best practices for security, transparency, and ethical AI management.
A-LIGN COO Steve Simmons said, “Congratulations to Theta Lake for earning their ISO/IEC 42001 certification, an international standard that specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS). It’s great to work with organizations like Theta Lake who understand the value of expertise in driving an efficient audit and the importance of ISO/IEC 42001, a widely recognized signal of trust and security.”
Theta Lake CTO and co-founder Rich Sutton said, “There is a lot of ‘AI-washing’ for effect in the market, but we have been AI-native with real technology that has real market impact from our day 1 founding. Our patents, some dating back as early as 2018 underpin our AI technology and in our product that is in use in some of the most demanding customer environments in the world. Our AI has long been used to improve communication compliance effectiveness and efficiency, and it is increasingly being used to govern a whole new set of AI driven communications and behaviors. The pairing of our rapid pace of building deep AI technology delivered with more certified explainability, security, and trust than the rest of our market is just another example of our leadership.”
