ELMO Software becomes first Aussie HR platform with AI certification

ANZ-headquartered HR platform ELMO Software has become the first of its kind to achieve an artificial intelligence certification.

ELMO Software’s Artificial Intelligence Management Software (AIMS) has achieved ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification, making it the first HR platform in Australia and New Zealand to do so.

The certification is the international standard for AIMS. It provides an independently audited framework for how organisations design, deploy, and continuously govern AI systems, ensuring AI is managed responsibly, transparently, and with appropriate oversight.

Josh McKenzie, ELMO Software’s chief technology officer, said businesses want confidence that AI is developed responsibly, “particularly when it supports workforce decisions”.

“Achieving ISO/IEC 42001 demonstrates we’ve built governance into our AI from the outset,” McKenzie said.

“It provides an independently verified framework for how we develop, manage, and continually improve AI across our platform, giving customers confidence that AI capabilities are supported by internationally recognised governance standards.”

ELMO also holds an ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certificate for information security management, which has strengthened the foundations behind how it protects customer data and operates securely.

With both certifications, ELMO Software has provided customers with greater transparency into how AI capabilities are developed, governed, and deployed across its platform.

It has also provided ethical safeguards throughout AI-enabled workflows and decision support, as well as ongoing AI-specific risk management that is continually reviewed and refined.

ELMO added that the dual certification provides greater confidence in meeting emerging AI governance expectations, particularly in highly regulated sectors such as financial services, healthcare, and government.
