What Palindrome Technologies offers, and what it publishes

ANAB accredits Palindrome to certify AI management systems against ISO/IEC 42001, certificate PaliTech-MS-4287, and as an ISO/IEC 17025 testing laboratory, certificate L2331. Both entries are in ANAB's public directories. The firm says it does not provide management system consulting, and that an independent external committee reviews its impartiality controls. It says it has tested product security since 2005.

Palindrome Technologies does not publish a price, a fee schedule or its professional indemnity insurance. ANAB's directory shows no ISO/IEC 27001 accreditation for it, though it markets information security consulting. If you need an accredited ISO/IEC 27001 certificate, confirm the scope with the firm first.

Palindrome Technologies' ISO/IEC 42001 accreditation is new. The firm says it achieved it in the second quarter of 2026 and announced it on 4 August 2026, so there is no multi-year record yet of certificates it has issued. Its testimonials page cites telecom, medical-device and financial-services clients. We have not verified any case study or outcome.

Strengths

  • Holds two genuine, independently-verifiable ANAB accreditations: ISO/IEC 17025:2017 testing laboratory (cert L2331) and ISO/IEC 42001 AI-management-systems certification body (cert PaliTech-MS-4287).
  • Publishes an ISO/IEC 17021-1-compliant impartiality policy that separates certification activity from its own consulting services, overseen by a stated independent external committee.
  • Two-decade operating history (since 2005) in cybersecurity/product-security testing across telecom, medical-device, financial-services and industrial sectors gives broad technical depth.
  • Among the earlier US bodies to gain ANAB accreditation specifically to certify organizations against ISO/IEC 42001 (achieved Q2 2026).

Things to check

  • Not accredited by ANAB as a management-systems certification body for ISO/IEC 27001, despite the firm marketing broader governance-risk-and-compliance and information-security consulting services.
  • No published pricing, fee schedule, or rate structure was found for its certification or consulting services.
  • Its ISO/IEC 42001 AI-management-systems accreditation is very recently granted, so there is no multi-year track record of certificates issued under that scope to review.

Common questions

Does Palindrome publish its fees?

Notes behind each thing to check

  • Not accredited by ANAB as a management-systems certification body for ISO/IEC 27001, despite the firm marketing broader governance-risk-and-compliance and information-security consulting services. (ANAB CB Directory search for "Palindrome" under ISO/IEC 27001 returned 0 results (anabdirectory.remoteauditor.com/Certificate/Browse, checked 20 Sep 2026), versus 1 active "Accredited" result under ISO/IEC 42001.)
  • No published pricing, fee schedule, or rate structure was found for its certification or consulting services. (The certification-services, governance-risk-and-compliance and about pages on palindrometech.com (checked 20 Sep 2026) contain no fee information.)
  • Its ISO/IEC 42001 AI-management-systems accreditation is very recently granted, so there is no multi-year track record of certificates issued under that scope to review. (The firm's own press release states the accreditation was achieved in Q2 2026 and announced 4 Aug 2026 (palindrometech.com news release).)
Six criteria, each scored 1 to 5, with the evidence for each.
CriterionScoreEvidence
Help when things go wrong 1/5 No published record of certificate suspension or withdrawal action found; the ISO 42001 accreditation is brand new (Q2 2026 press release), so no track record exists either way.
Qualifications of the people who do the work 3/5 ANAB lists it Active/Accredited for ISO 17025 and ISO 42001, but a directory search returned 0 results for ISO 27001 despite the firm marketing broader GRC and infosec consulting, scope is real but narrower than its marketing implies.
What it publishes about fees 1/5 No pricing, rate card, or worked fee examples were found anywhere on its certification or consulting service pages.
Knowledge of your sector 3/5 Genuine, ANAB-verified named accreditation to certify ISO/IEC 42001 AI management systems, but only achieved Q2 2026 with no multi-year record of certificates actually issued.
Independence from what it sells 4/5 Publishes a written impartiality policy citing ISO/IEC 17021-1, states it does not provide management-system consulting, and cites an external committee reviewing its impartiality controls.
Who carries the risk if the advice is wrong 1/5 No PI insurance or liability-terms disclosure was found; the only corporate-structure fact on record is its NJ foreign for-profit registration.
