Orion is proud to be one of the first wealthtech companies to earn ISO 42001 certification for artificial-intelligence management systems. The certification affirms that Orion’s artificial intelligence management framework is in line with global standards for responsible AI governance. The achievement follows an independent third party audit validating the AI Management System behind the Denali AI intelligence layer across Orion’s workflows.
Orion becomes one of the first wealthtech organizations to be certified against the international standard for artificial intelligence management system with ISO 42001 certification. Orion is also the first known portfolio accounting provider to reach this milestone. This recognition provides independent assurance that the development of Orion’s AI capabilities is guided by strong governance, accountability and responsible technology practices.
For wealth management firms looking for reliable AI solutions, the certification underscores Orion’s commitment to secure and dependable artificial intelligence capabilities. The company remains committed to helping advisors adopt AI tools that enhance workflows while providing compliance and operational confidence.
ISO 42001 Enhances AI Governance and Risk Management
ISO 42001 specifies requirements for organizations to establish, operate and continually improve systems for the management of artificial intelligence. It also tackles important topics such as AI risk assessment, transparency, data governance, evaluation of third-party AI providers, and human oversight.
“Orion’s achievement of this certification is a testament to a structured approach to the management of AI across its lifecycle. The company ensures that the AI technologies used in its platform adhere to defined policies and responsible implementation practices.
“Advisors must be able to trust the AI they bring into their work with clients, and that trust has to be earned,” said Natalie Wolfsen, CEO of Orion. “ISO 42001 certification is independent validation that Orion has the right policies for how we use AI, a rigorous process for vetting the AI providers we work with, and the controls to ensure the materials our AI helps produce meet a high standard of quality — and that we are doing all of it responsibly and within the bounds of laws and regulations. That assurance is what advisors need to adopt AI with confidence.”
Growing Demand for Trusted AI in Wealth Management
The certification arrives as financial advisors increasingly explore artificial intelligence and automation solutions. According to Orion’s 2026 Advisor Wealthtech Survey, advisors identified AI and automation as the leading force multiplier for business growth.
However, the survey also highlighted that AI adoption remains at an early stage across many advisory firms. Only one in ten advisors reported using advanced AI capabilities, while nearly one-quarter stated that they currently have no AI tools implemented.
Therefore, Orion’s ISO 42001 certification addresses a growing market requirement for transparent and responsible AI solutions. Wealth management firms are looking for technology partners that can provide innovation while maintaining strong governance standards.
“AI is the single biggest opportunity in wealth management, and it’s Orion’s highest priority this year — 2026 represents our largest R&D investment ever, focused squarely on AI,” said Reed Colley, President of Orion Advisor Technology. “We’re embedding powerful AI capabilities directly into the workflows advisors use every day — and ISO 42001 certification for Denali AI is proof we’re doing it the right way, with trust and governance at the center.”
Orion continues to expand its AI-focused investments by integrating advanced capabilities into advisor workflows. The company’s latest certification reinforces its focus on delivering AI-powered wealth management technology with governance, security, and trust at its core.
