A.6.1: AI Roles and Responsibilities
Defined roles for AI lifecycle activities.
Last reviewed September 2026
Why A.6.1 evidence is hard
In ISO/IEC 42001, AI Roles and Responsibilities addresses resources. Defined roles for AI lifecycle activities. Penaxtra records this control at medium severity and establishes its state by exercising it against the running system, so the result reflects observed behavior rather than a documented assertion.
How Penaxtra maps to A.6.1
Penaxtra turns this ISO/IEC 42001 obligation into recurring, testable evidence: scheduled scans and posture checks produce findings tied to A.6.1, and the append-only audit log records what was tested and when. The ISO/IEC 42001 A.6.1 identifier is attached when the finding is created, so it appears in the exported evidence pack already mapped to the control. Where the same weakness maps to another framework, the finding carries those control identifiers as well.
A.6.1 capabilities
Findings tagged with the ISO/IEC 42001 A.6.1 identifier
Penaxtra severity for this control (medium)
Cross-framework identifiers attached to the same finding where controls overlap
PDF and JSON evidence export with the control identifier attached
A.6.1 control coverage
Findings for A.6.1 carry the ISO/IEC 42001 A.6.1 identifier along with the corresponding control identifiers in the other frameworks Penaxtra maps, so one result is reflected across each mapped framework.
