AI Security Management Lab

ISO 42001 is the world's first international standard for AI management systems, specifying how organizations should responsibly develop, deploy, and use AI technologies. Certification demonstrates AI governance capabilities to international clients and is an important prerequisite for advanced supply chain participation. AISML is led by an ISO 42001 Lead Auditor and offers services from gap analysis to certification.

SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) is administered by Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs and provides up to NT$10 million in R&D funding. Enterprises submit proposals detailing research content, technical innovation, and market feasibility. AISML helps enterprises translate existing process optimizations into policy-recognized R&D language and improves review success rates through industry-academia collaboration.

Yes. Under Article 10 of the Statute for Industrial Innovation, R&D expenditures from industry-academia collaboration with universities qualify for up to 15% corporate income tax credits. Combined with front-end government grants, this creates a dual benefit of subsidies plus tax savings, effectively reducing actual R&D expenditures.

Absolutely. ISO 27001 Information Security Management System is designed to apply across all industries, not just ICT companies. AISML provides customized implementation pathways for non-ICT enterprises, from risk assessment to system establishment, helping businesses achieve international cybersecurity compliance at minimal cost.

ISO 27001 focuses on information security management, protecting information assets from disclosure, tampering, or disruption. ISO 42001 focuses on AI management, covering transparency, fairness, accountability, and risk control of AI systems. They are complementary: if an enterprise uses AI and handles sensitive data, planning both certifications together allows sharing the management framework and reducing redundant costs.

SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) is for innovative SMEs (typically under 10 employees) with grants up to NT$10 million. CITD (Conventional Industry Technology Development) targets traditional manufacturing upgrades with grants up to NT$5 million. Choose SBIR for innovation-driven businesses, CITD for existing manufacturing upgrades. AISML can help assess the best-fit program.

No. Government R&D grants (SBIR, CITD, SIIR) are subsidies, not loans. Once approved, funds are disbursed based on execution progress with no repayment required. However, enterprises must execute the R&D plan as proposed and submit completion reports. Partial clawback may occur if the plan is not executed as agreed.

For ISO 27001, the typical timeline from kickoff to certification is 4-8 months, depending on company size and existing management maturity. Costs include consulting fees and certification body audit fees, commonly ranging NT$300,000-800,000 for SMEs. AISML offers free preliminary assessments to help enterprises understand the required investment and expected timeline.
