AI Safety Training & Attestation
CSOAI is a measurement body, not an accreditation authority. Our training paths lead to signed attestations aligned with the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, TC260 and ISO/IEC 42001 — measured against live regulatory text, never a substitute for accredited certification.
In the words of our own site-wide footer: “We hold no accreditation, we are not a notified body, and we issue no certificates of conformity — as of April 2026 zero notified bodies had been designated and no harmonised standard yet grants presumption of conformity.”
Why Teams Train With CSOAI
CSOAI is a training provider measuring against published standards — independent of every AI vendor, and honest about what a signed attestation is and is not.
100% Independent
No financial ties to OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, or any AI vendor. Our only incentive is public safety.
Framework-Aligned
Measured against EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, China TC260, and ISO 42001. Signed attestation records — not an accredited certification.
Honestly Scoped
We hold no accreditation, we are not a notified body, and we issue no certificates of conformity. Attestations record what was measured — nothing more.

Frequently asked questions
Attestation vs certification — the distinction we will not blur.
Does CSOAI certify AI systems?
No. CSOAI is a measurement body, not an accreditation authority or certification body. Accredited conformity certification requires a national accreditation chain (for example UKAS in the UK) and a certification body operating under ISO/IEC 17065 or 42006. We hold no such accreditation.
What do I receive instead of a certificate?
A signed attestation record: deterministic, provision-anchored evidence of what your system measurably did against named regulatory provisions on a stated date. It demonstrates measured behaviour; it does not declare conformity.
What is a living attestation?
An attestation bound to the regulatory corpus it was earned against. Our corpus-watch re-hashes 127 provisions daily; if the law drifts, dependent attestations are flagged for re-measurement instead of silently expiring years later.
Can a CSOAI attestation replace a notified-body assessment?
No, and we say so on the record. Where the law requires a notified or accredited body, only that body can deliver it. Our role is the measurement layer that tells you where you stand before you pay for one.
