Organisational Certification

When someone asks how your AI is governed, have evidence ready.

PAI helps organisations assess, document, and verify their AI deployment practice against the Production Safety Framework. Start with a Deployment Safety Assessment, then advance to a full organisational designation when customers, boards, or regulators need external proof.

Charities & NGOs: PAI Impact Access provides eligibility-based consideration for Deployment Safety Assessments and other paid programmes — same PSF bar, structured for public-benefit budgets.

Start from the pressure

The right next step depends on what is at risk.

Do not buy a programme because it sounds comprehensive. Start with the smallest proof that answers the question your board, buyer, client, or team is actually asking.

Board, buyer, or regulator pressure

Assess a live AI system.

Use a Deployment Safety Assessment when the risk is already in production and the organisation needs documented findings, gaps, and a route to the Production Safe Mark.

Begin DSA scope
Team capability pressure

Certify the people doing the work.

Use the Team Foundations Pack when staff are already using AI and leadership needs a shared vocabulary, registry proof, and rollout report.

Plan team rollout
Client delivery pressure

Turn AI demand into a partner practice.

MSPs and consultancies should start with the launch pack, then decide whether Certified AI Integrator status is the next public proof layer.

Deployment Safety Assessment (DSA)

A structured 15-day assessment of your organisation's AI deployment practice against the PSF. You map your workflows in PAI Studio, submit evidence against the eight PSF domains, and receive a detailed report with findings, gaps, and a remediation roadmap. Organisations that pass receive the PAI Production Safe Mark.

LAUNCHING 2026

Organisational designations

Full CAI and CAE designations — for consultancies and enterprises respectively — are in development and will launch later in 2026. They build directly on the DSA foundation. Organisations completing a DSA now are first in line.

CAI
Consultancies and MSPs

Certified AI Integrator

For organisations whose business is building and deploying AI systems for clients. Requires certified practitioners on the delivery team and a reviewed sample of client deliverables assessed against PSF criteria.

Start with a DSA to qualify →
CAE
Enterprises deploying AI internally

Certified AI Enterprise

For organisations deploying AI at scale internally. Requires documented governance aligned to PSF, named accountability chains for production systems, and evidence of human oversight implementation.

Why independent verification matters

Procurement teams, boards, and regulators are increasingly asking: "How do you know your AI systems are safe?" Internal documentation is a start. An independently assessed mark is an answer.

PAI assessments are conducted against a published, versioned standard — the PSF. The findings are documented. The gaps are named. The remediation path is clear. This is what due diligence looks like for production AI in 2026.

Organisations that build governance into deployment work early are better placed when customers, auditors, or regulators ask for evidence later. Retrofitting controls after systems are already in use is usually harder than designing them in from the start.
