What a Provael report can be used for
Annex A · operational control
Red-teaming as an operational control: a documented, repeatable adversarial test with a measured result and a retained trace is evidence that the control operates.
The evidence
- A repeatable adversarial-robustness measurement you can register as an operational control in your AIMS.
- Retained traces and a one-page scorecard that can serve as control evidence in a 42001 audit.
- A CI red-team gate that turns the control from a point-in-time test into a continuously monitored one.
What it cannot be used for
A mapping identifies possible relevance. It does not establish that this framework applies to your product, that anything here is compliance, that an assessor or insurer will accept it, or a real-world risk probability. Whether it applies to your product depends on your role, market and product class: a question for your counsel, not a determination this page makes.
- Holding this evidence does not certify an AI management system: certification against 42001 is an accredited body’s audit of the whole AIMS, and this is one control inside it.
- Simulation evidence for the tested checkpoint and protocol. Physical safety and conformity require separate assessment.
- Provael measures adversarial robustness - susceptibility to manipulation - not general accuracy, reliability, or functional safety.
- The measured result uses templated, auditable attacks; the search-based families (optimized, universal_patch, gradient_patch) have no real-policy rate. Results are a floor on susceptibility - a behavioural lower bound, not a certified worst-case bound.
Running Provael does not make a system compliant or certified - it generates measurements you can put into a conformity or assurance file. Provael is not a notified body, a lab, or a certification scheme.

The framework
- ISO/IEC 42001:2023 specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an AI management system (AIMS).
- Its Annex A lists operational controls; red-teaming and adversarial testing sit naturally among them as an evidence-producing control.
- It is certifiable by accredited bodies.
- Related AI standards: ISO/IEC 23894:2023 (AI risk management) and ISO/IEC TR 5469:2024 (AI functional safety); Provael produces evidence that feeds these processes rather than implementing them.
