Trust Requires More
“We don’t just check if your AI works. We ask whether it deserves to be trusted.”
How Do We Measure Responsible AI?
TRUST-AI Open™ Standard: Lead Responsible AI
Unlock trust with the TRUST-AI Open™ Standard, the only framework offering system-level assessments, SPRI™ validation, and A+/AA+/AAA+ badges with QR-coded profiles. Unlike NIST’s generic RMF or ISO 42001’s governance focus, TRUST-AI delivers operational outcomes and cultural maturity for AI ethics.
Human Centred
Organizational: Responsible AI begins with organisational intent—your systems should reflect your values, not just your ambitions.
System: AI must support human agency, align with social context, and remain meaningfully contestable by people.
Transparent
Organizational: Your teams must be clear on who owns decisions, how AI is used, and its impact on stakeholders.
System: Responsible AI systems are explainable, auditable, and traceable—designed to be understood, not just observed.
Trustworthy
Organizational: Trust is built when organisations take proactive steps to secure data, manage risk, and respond to failure.
System: AI must be safe, secure, and respectful of privacy—robust in design, accountable in failure, and resilient under scrutiny.
TRUST-AI is the World’s First Responsible AI-as-a-Service™
Responsible AI-as-a-Service (RAIaaS) is a new model for AI maturity. We give organisations the tools, frameworks, and public trust signals to scale AI responsibly. It's not a whitepaper. It's not a principle. It's a productised trust system for the AI age.
TRUST-AI Open™
The only the only framework with organisation and system-specific criteria. Unlike NIST’s generic RMF or ISO 42001’s governance focus, TRUST-AI Open™ delivers operational outcomes and cultural maturity for Responsible AI.
TRUST-AI Check™
A free online tool for your organization to check it can meet the basic requirements for TRUST-AI Verified™ rating.
TRUST-AI Ready™
A readiness assessment allowing your enterprise to internally benchmark AI capability and identify gaps before undertaking a TRUST-AI Verified™ assessment.
TRUST-AI Verified™
Complete multi-tier, quantitative and qualitative maturity-based scoring of your organization and AI system(s) for a TRUST-AI Verified™ Responsible AI rating (A+, AA+, or AAA+).
TRUST-AI Verified™: Certify What Matters
Culture. Systems. Trust. Our unique multi-tier certification framework assesses how well your organisation governs AI—and how your individual systems bring those values to life.
How Does TRUST-AI Verified™ Compare to Global AI Standards?
TRUST-AI Open™ and TRUST-AI Verified™ build on the principles of ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF, OECD, and UNESCO—but go further. They transform ethical intent into operational assurance across both organizations and systems.
Key Area | ISO/IEC 42001 | NIST AI RMF | OECD | UNESCO | TRUST-AI Verified™ |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Type | Management System Standard | Risk & governance framework | Policy principles | Global ethics recommendations | Assessment + certification model (Org + System) |
Focus | Top-down governance | Risk-based controls & mapping | Transparency, fairness, values | Human rights, ethics, inclusion | Operational outcomes, cultural maturity, AI trust signals |
System-Level Specificity | Limited | Partial use-case focus | Abstract principles | Macro-level policy framing | Explicit assessment of individual systems, not just governance |
Ethical Depth | Referenced | Referenced | Foundational | Foundational | Embedded throughout in scoring, review, and readiness |
Certification Output | ISO-certified accreditation | Non-certification framework | Policy influence only | Policy influence only | A+, AA+, AAA+ scoring and badge with system traceability |
