Why this matters now

Why not just say we follow PSF in our security questionnaire?
Self-attestation is worth nothing in high-trust procurement. Enterprise buyers, cyber insurers, and regulators are specifically asking for independent verification. The mark is the independent verification.
How does this relate to SOC 2?
SOC 2 covers general software security controls. It says nothing about AI-specific risks: prompt injection, hallucination, model drift, third-party model dependencies, or human oversight design. The PAI Production Safe mark is the AI-specific complement to SOC 2, not a replacement.
What about the EU AI Act?
The EU AI Act requires high-risk AI systems to demonstrate conformity with technical standards. PAI PSF v1.1 maps to the Act's requirements for risk management, data governance, transparency, and human oversight. We publish the full mapping document. The DSA supports your AI Act compliance posture.
Who are the assessors?
PAI assessors hold CPAP certification and have completed the PAI Assessor Training Programme. All assessors are listed on the PAI website with their credentials. The assessor for your assessment is named in your public verification record.
What if we fail?
You receive a detailed gap report identifying exactly which PSF criteria were not met and what evidence would be needed. One free reassessment is included within 90 days. The gap report is confidential — it is never published.
