Singapore-Based WPH Digital Among the First AI-Focused Digital Companies in Asia to Achieve ISO/IEC 42001:2023, Setting a Global First for Oil & Gas AI Governance

WPH Digital PTE. LTD.

WPH Digital PTE. LTD., a Singapore-based AI and Digital Service Provider, announced today that it has become one of the first AI and Digital Service Providers in Singapore to achieve ISO/IEC 42001:2023 Artificial Intelligence Management Systems certification on 26th February 2026. The company is also the First in the World to achieve ISO 42001 certification for AI Systems in the oil and gas industry. The certification was issued by BSI, a globally recognised standards and certification body, through a rigorous audit process.

ISO/IEC 42001:2023, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), is the world’s first international standard dedicated to AI Management Systems. It establishes a Governance Framework for AI development, deployment, and oversight, with emphasis on transparency, accountability, risk management, and continuous improvement.

AI is increasingly embedded across enterprise and industrial operations, including predictive analytics, operational optimisation, safety monitoring, and decision support. WPH Digital’s certification confirms its AI systems operate within an independently audited framework, with clear policies, defined accountability, and ongoing monitoring to mitigate risks and support regulatory alignment.

“This milestone reflects our commitment to responsible AI across all sectors,” said Vincent Leoh, Managing Director at WPH Digital. “Achieving ISO 42001 demonstrates that our AI systems meet internationally recognised standards for governance, security, and reliability. While we are proud to be the first company in the world to achieve this certification specifically for AI systems in the oil and gas industry.”

The certification was formally presented by Emmanuel Hervé, Managing Director, SSEA at BSI, during a ceremony held at WPH Digital’s Singapore office.

For operators, regulators, investors, and partners across all industries, ISO/IEC 42001:2023 provides independent assurance that WPH Digital’s AI systems follow internationally recognised governance standards. Especially relevant for government agencies, regulated sectors, and mission-critical environments where reliability and transparency are critical.

The certification further reinforces WPH Digital’s integrated AI governance framework, enabling secure, scalable, enterprise-grade deployment globally.
