Sternberg Consulting

Sternberg Consulting is the solo practice of Jonathan Sternberg, an ISO consultant in Netzschkau, Saxony, who has completed CQI/IRCA lead-auditor training and works remote-first with clients across Germany; internal audits and management reviews are the on-site exceptions. Engagements typically start when a customer contract, tender or the EU AI Act puts a deadline on AI governance. He scopes an ISO/IEC 42001 management-system build of eight to sixteen weeks covering an AI inventory including third-party services, risk classification of each system against the AI Act and the standard, a governance framework, controls for data quality, bias monitoring, transparency and human oversight, staff training and an internal audit, then coordinates and accompanies the certification audit. He often builds ISO 42001 combined with ISO 27001 and also covers ISO 9001, 14001, 13485 and 45001, so AI work lands inside a broader management-system practice serving manufacturing, automotive-supplier and medical-device SMEs. Pricing is published openly: the site quotes EUR 10,000-30,000 for ISO 42001 consulting depending on AI complexity - companies that only use AI rather than build it pay less - with tightly scoped ISO projects from EUR 4,000 and external management-representative retainers starting at EUR 400 per month; BAFA consulting-subsidy eligibility is checked before project start. He does not certify - certificates come only from independent accredited certification bodies, whose selection he coordinates - and the practice offers no legal advice.
