    The People

    Defence focused AI innovation

    Accelleo delivers trusted, secure, data-driven AI solutions for defence and government environments.
    The Challenge

    Building trust and governance at pace in a defence AI business.

    Accelleo needed credible, scalable AI assurance without slowing innovation or growth.

    Operating in high risk defence environments, Accelleo recognized that AI governance could not be an afterthought. The business needed to demonstrate trust, security and accountability to government stakeholders while remaining agile enough to innovate. Managing multiple frameworks without creating complexity or duplication was a critical challenge.

    The Solution

    A harmonized AI management system built through ISO/IEC 42001

    BSI supported Accelleo with an education led, collaborative certification journey.

    Working with BSI, Accelleo achieved ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 42001 using an Annex SL structure. This enabled AI governance, information security and risk management to operate within a single framework. The audit process focused on interpretation, learning and continual improvement rather than compliance alone.

    Scalable assurance for trusted AI

    ISO/IEC 42001 enabled Accelleo to embed governance into everyday operations.
