Xano’s ISO/IEC 42001 Certification Reinforces the Future of Responsible AI — And Why It Matters to Our Clients
At Drive Phase Consulting, we’re in the business of building the future—faster, smarter, and more securely. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Xano, the powerful no-code backend platform that continues to raise the bar in AI and data infrastructure. Today, we’re thrilled to share a major milestone that reinforces our confidence in that partnership:
Xano has officially achieved ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification for its AI systems.
This is no small feat. ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the world’s first international standard for an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS), making Xano one of the first platforms globally to meet this rigorous benchmark.
Why This Certification Matters — Especially Now
AI agents are no longer a “nice-to-have.” They’re becoming core components of modern businesses—automating workflows, making decisions, and scaling operations in ways we couldn’t imagine just a few years ago. But with that power comes responsibility.
By earning this certification, Xano demonstrates that AI doesn’t just have to be fast and scalable—it can also be governed, ethical, and secure.
Here’s what this means for the businesses we serve:
✅ Verified Trust – Independent third-party validation of how Xano governs its AI systems, so our clients can deploy AI agents with confidence.
✅ Reduced Risk – Built-in controls for algorithmic bias, data privacy, and model integrity—critical for industries like healthcare, legal, and financial services.
✅ Compliance Ready – Alignment with emerging regulations, including the EU AI Act, gives you a head start on staying ahead of legal requirements.
✅ Operational Excellence – Responsible AI principles are embedded into every step of Xano’s product lifecycle, ensuring a stable foundation for your app or platform.
What the Certification Covers
Xano’s certification extends across the AI capabilities that power their platform, including:
- Database Assistant
- API Assistant
- Function Stack Assistant (their newest addition)
These assistants already help developers and non-technical teams work faster—but now, you can do so knowing the AI behind them is held to a globally recognized standard.
The certification process evaluated six critical pillars of Xano’s AI governance:
- Clear governance and accountability
- Risk and impact assessments for AI systems
- Strict data governance
- Transparency and explainability
- Human-in-the-loop oversight
- AI-specific security integrated with ISO 27001
“This certification isn't just about compliance. It's about building AI systems that are ethical, trustworthy, and secure by design.” – Jacques Antikadjian, Xano Co-Founder & CSO
What This Means for Drive Phase Clients
When you partner with Drive Phase Consulting, you're not just getting rapid Xano development through no-code—you’re gaining access to a trusted infrastructure that’s been battle-tested for privacy, fairness, and security.
Whether we're building a HIPAA-compliant app for a healthcare provider or launching an AI-powered assistant for your internal ops team, Xano’s certified framework strengthens the backbone of everything we deploy.
In short: Better compliance. Less risk. More trust.
We’ve long believed in building with intention. Xano’s ISO/IEC 42001 certification reinforces what we already know: the future of AI belongs to those who treat responsibility as a feature—not an afterthought.
Let’s talk about how we can put secure, scalable, and responsible AI to work for your business.

Validating Your Startup Idea: Why You Should Do It Quickly and Cheaply
Validating your startup idea is crucial to ensure you're solving a problem that people will pay to solve. As a founder, it's important to validate your idea quickly and cheaply before fully developing a product. You can start by offering your solution as a consulting service or using existing tools to create a minimum viable version. The most important step in validation is not just asking people if they would buy but actually getting them to pay. This shows genuine interest and proves your idea addresses a real, painful problem. By validating early, you save time, money, and increase your chances of building a successful product.
HIPAA Compliant App Development Using No Code
No code development represents a transformative shift in how applications are built. This approach is particularly significant given the healthcare industry's strict regulations, such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), which governs the privacy and security of medical information. The issue has historically been that many no code platforms are not HIPAA compliant. However, two of the new paltforms, WeWeb and Xano, are actually HIPAA compliant which opens up the benefits of no code to more health care organizations.
The Importance of Valuing Time for Small Business Owners
Small business owners often face a unique challenge of valuing their own time. Juggling numerous responsibilities, they can easily fall into the trap of undervaluing their hours, leading to burnout, procrastination, and stunted business growth. This struggle is often rooted in the complexity of roles they play – from sales to marketing to operations – which often leaves little time for strategic thinking and planning.
