Comprehensive scope spans products, processes and operations worldwide

RALEIGH, N.C., Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bandwidth Inc. (NASDAQ: BAND), a leading global cloud communications company, today announced it has achieved ISO/IEC 42001 certification for its artificial intelligence management system. Unlike scopes limited to specific functions or business units, Bandwidth's certification comprehensively spans its products, processes and operations worldwide. This validates Bandwidth's role as the trusted, owned-and-operated communications infrastructure enterprises depend on for high-quality, production-ready voice AI deployments.

As enterprises deploy AI services across customer engagement, the communications infrastructure behind every interaction is essential to delivering secure, reliable and trusted experiences. According to Gartner^®, "Security, trust, and compliance are now foundational."¹ Gartner forecasts that by 2029, 90 percent of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI, while 85 percent of global enterprises will require AI-based enhanced security in their CPaaS toolsets.²

"AI is only as good as the communications platform it runs on," said Kade Ross, Bandwidth's Chief Information Officer. "As enterprises adopt new voice AI services, they need greater control, observability and auditability across the entire operating environment. Achieving comprehensive ISO/IEC 42001 certification matters because it validates the rigor of Bandwidth's combined products, processes and global operations, not just a single application or back-office function. That gives our customers stronger assurance as they scale AI across their most critical communications."

ISO/IEC 42001 certification builds on Bandwidth's longstanding investments in security, privacy and compliance, including its comprehensive ISO/IEC 27001 certification for information security. Because Bandwidth owns and operates its global network, this AI management system extends across the full communications stack—an integrated scope that resellers and virtual providers cannot replicate. This gives customers confidence that Bandwidth's global Communications Cloud, Maestro^TM orchestration platform and the AI capabilities they enable are managed according to internationally recognized standards.
