A.7.1: AI System Impact Assessment
Impact assessment performed before deployment + on change.
Last reviewed July 2026
The gap A.7.1 closes
In ISO/IEC 42001, AI System Impact Assessment addresses impact assessment. Impact assessment performed before deployment + on change. Penaxtra records this control at high 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 delivers A.7.1
Penaxtra turns this ISO/IEC 42001 obligation into recurring, testable evidence: scheduled scans and posture checks produce findings tied to A.7.1, and the append-only audit log records what was tested and when. The ISO/IEC 42001 A.7.1 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.7.1 capabilities
Findings tagged with the ISO/IEC 42001 A
7.1 identifier.
Penaxtra severity for this control (high)
Cross-framework identifiers attached to the same finding where controls overlap
PDF and JSON evidence export with the control identifier attached
A.7.1 compliance mapping
Findings for A.7.1 carry the ISO/IEC 42001 A.7.1 identifier along with the corresponding control identifiers in the other frameworks Penaxtra maps, so one result is reflected across each mapped framework.
Frequently asked
