Spain – Pleneo has announced that it has achieved ISO 42001 certification, becoming the first manufacturer of AV and unified communications (UC) devices to hold this international standard for AI security and governance. This milestone recognizes the growing impact of AI in unified communications, as well as Pleneo’s responsible, secure, and transparent approach to integrating AI into its hardware and software ecosystem.
The certification validates the comprehensive governance of the AI technologies that power its smart room platform – including AI AutoDeploy, AI NoiseSense, machine learning-based room enhancement, and AEC, among others – all of which are securely processed directly on the device itself, within Pleneo’s own equipment. By bringing processing power closer to the physical space of the room, the company ensures that adaptive features operate in real time, protect user privacy, and reduce reliance on the cloud without compromising intelligence or performance.
“Artificial intelligence shouldn’t be somewhere else, but rather in the space where people meet,” says James Knight, CEO of Pleneo. “Our AI works directly on the device, within the room itself, understanding acoustics, behavior, and context in milliseconds. With ISO 42001, we demonstrate that innovation and responsibility can go hand in hand, delivering smarter, faster, and more secure collaboration experiences worldwide.”
The achievement of ISO 42001 follows the SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications obtained by the company earlier this year, reinforcing a unified framework based on trust, intelligence, and security. As Pleneo continues to develop its Room OS ecosystem, these standards solidify a vision where AI is not only powerful, but also ethical, private, and fully integrated.
