Doppel Among First 350 Organizations Worldwide to Achieve ISO 42001 Certification for AI Governance Standards

SAN FRANCISCO– April 13, 2026 – Doppel, the AI-powered Social Engineering Defense (SED) platform, today announced it has earned three International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certifications, including ISO/IEC 42001 for artificial intelligence management systems (AIMS), ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management systems (ISMS), and ISO/IEC 27701 for privacy information management systems (PIMS). The company is among the first 350 organizations worldwide to achieve ISO/IEC 42001, the emerging global standard for responsible AI governance.

These certifications build on Doppel’s existing SOC 2 Type II attestation and underscore the company’s continued investment in security, privacy, data protection, and transparency. This milestone marks Doppel’s continued expansion into the global market, where ISO certifications are highly regarded. Together, they highlight Doppel’s approach to protecting customers against increasingly complex, AI-driven social engineering threats. 

“From day one, our mission has been to protect the world from social engineering attacks,” said Rahul Madduluri, Co-Founder and CTO at Doppel. “As these threats evolve and AI makes cyberattacks more effective than ever, we must hold ourselves to the highest standards for how we build, deploy, and operate our technology. Achieving these certifications is an important step in ensuring our customers can trust that their organizations are protected against increasingly sophisticated threats.”

Doppel’s AI-powered SED platform is built to combat a new generation of AI-driven threats that legacy technology is no longer equipped to handle, including phishing, deepfakes, and brand abuse. This approach extends to how the platform is developed and operated, with strong controls in place for AI usage and customer data handling, including clear governance and accountability, continuous risk assessment, data safeguards, and ongoing monitoring to ensure systems perform as intended and remain resilient against misuse.

“Very few organizations reach this level of alignment across their systems, processes, and controls,” said David Forman, Chief Executive Officer of Mastermind. “Doppel stood out in how its controls are consistently applied across the organization. They are built into day-to-day operations, not layered on afterward. That consistency is a clear indicator of a mature approach.”

ISO/IEC 42001, 27001, and 27701 establish globally recognized standards for AI, security, and privacy. Together, they provide independent validation of how Doppel manages AI risk, protects customer data, and operates its platform with strong controls.

“As attackers use AI to scale and personalize social engineering, it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish what is real from what is not, dramatically expanding enterprise risk,” said Kendra Cooley, Senior Director of Information Security and IT at Doppel. “The bar for trust, security, and operational standards has changed. Achieving the ISO Trifecta reinforces our commitment to building and using AI responsibly while maintaining the highest standards of security and privacy for our customers.”

This announcement follows Doppel’s Series C funding and comes amid rapid company growth. As demand for protection against AI-driven social engineering accelerates, Doppel is scaling its platform, expanding its team, and actively hiring to meet the demand.
