MONTERREY, Mexico — November 6, 2025 — Softtek, a global software engineering partner that helps enterprises thrive through technology that improves lives, announced today that it has become the first technology company in Latin America to obtain the ISO 42001 certification, the new international standard for the responsible management of artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
The certification, granted by Applus+ Laboratories, recognizes Softtek’s successful implementation of an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS), ensuring a robust framework for transparency, accountability, continuous monitoring, and risk mitigation throughout the AI lifecycle.
Published in December 2023, ISO 42001 has rapidly become the global benchmark for AI governance frameworks. According to the 2025 Compliance Benchmark Report, 76% of organizations worldwide plan to adopt the standard in the coming years as part of their compliance, innovation, and risk management strategies.
“Achieving ISO 42001 certification is a natural step for Softtek and reflects our commitment to developing technology solutions with an ethical, responsible, and sustainable vision. This standard not only raises our internal benchmarks but also positions us as a pioneer in AI governance across the region,” said Ricardo Garza, Vice President of Innovation and Emerging Technologies at Softtek.
In addition to ISO 42001, Softtek successfully renewed its certifications in ISO 27001 (information security), ISO 20000 (IT service management), ISO 9001 (quality management), and ISO 27701 (information privacy)—consolidating a comprehensive compliance ecosystem that strengthens its commitment to innovation, trust, and operational excellence.
“True innovation happens when we work hand in hand with our clients to find new ways to create value. This certification reflects that commitment—building together a more reliable and sustainable technological future,” added Jaime Palacios, Chief Value Discovery Officer at Softtek.
With this certification, Softtek reinforces its position as a trusted technology partner, supporting companies worldwide in developing simple, smart, and reliable AI solutions that generate sustained value, efficiency, and trust.
