About Augmented Industries

Founded with the vision to empower people and transform manufacturing, Augmented Industries' generative, multi-modal artificial intelligence (AI) transforms factory documents into microlearning and step-by-step guidance, delivering a personalised, interactive experience to workers in the flow of factory work.

"70% of EU manufacturers' investments are at risk because of the skills gap. Training is more relevant than ever, but available options are not fast enough to keep up with the industrial transformation," says Dr. Elisa Roth, CEO. "Our enterprise-grade Al helps manufacturers solve their skills gap, increase factory learning effectiveness by up to 26%, and decrease their factory training costs by up to 62%."

The company was founded by Forbes 30 under 30 list makers Dr. Elisa Roth and Dr. Mirco Roth during their research at University of Cambridge and the World Economic Forum.

How Augmented Industries got their Compliance sorted

The Challenge

For companies like Augmented Industries, ensuring information security and compliance to global standards is crucial. Aiming to meet their customers' requirements, Augmented Industries searched for an effective, automated approach to information security management in line with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (ISO 27001) - a globally acknowledged information security management standard. Prior to using automation solutions, managing comprehensive compliance processes and ISO 27001 across all systems posed a challenge. Augmented Industries, therefore, sought a solution that would integrate into their existing IT infrastructure from day one and would scale with their fast-growing customer base. With the introduction of the EU AI Act, the company also prioritised ISO/IEC 42001:2023 (ISO 42001) in its search for a multi-framework compliance solution. Augmented Industries aimed to ensure they were fully equipped to address enterprise-grade requirements for responsible AI from the outset.

Solution

In their search for a solution to build scalable compliance processes, Augmented Industries turned to the multi-framework compliance solution Kertos, known for its technical maturity and integrated expert support. Seeking to streamline their overall compliance processes, Augmented Industries aimed to receive not only the ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 certifications in the most effective time possible, but also fostering their existing data, AI and information security practices.

The Impact

Streamlining (AI) Compliance and Monitoring Security in Weeks

With the Kertos platform, Augmented Industries enhanced their compliance in record time. By achieving their ISO 27001 certification in just 10 weeks, they accomplished an objective that previously seemed daunting. The platform's blend of high-end technology and expert insights made the certification process smooth and efficient, significantly reducing the complexity and duration typically associated with compliance.

With the goal of becoming a first mover in their industry and aligning with the EU AI Act, Augmented completed ISO 42001 within mere weeks.

Kertos’ multi-framework approach made it easy to build on existing work, eliminating duplication and accelerating progress: "We successfully achieved the ISO 27001 certification in record time with Kertos. To achieve ISO 42001 within 5 weeks, we reached out to our trusted partners again because they combine regulatory expertise with technological innovation," says Mirco, Co-Founder and CTO.

Despite the novelty of the global AI standard, Augmented Industries felt well-guided and confident throughout, with Kertos’ compliance experts providing hands-on support every step of the way. The result: operational excellence, enterprise trust—and a clear lead in responsible AI innovation. "These practices are essential for building trust with our clients and partners and for sustaining our leadership in industrial AI," says Elisa.

Empowering Future Manufacturing

Augmented Industries continues to pioneer advancements in the manufacturing sector. The successful and swift enhancement of its compliance demonstrates how the company not only enhances its operational security with their ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 certifications but also empowers its clients with safe and trusted solutions - thereby setting a benchmark in the industry.

In keeping up with continuous improvement and adhering to the highest customer standards, Augmented Industries plans to steadily advance their Information Security Management System, ensuring they can meaningfully contribute to industries' transformation: "Ultimately, it is neither about AI technology nor certifications," Elisa concludes. "It is about empowering people at scale, democratising training creation, and transforming manufacturing in a trusted, compliant way."
