Certifications
Clear paths to security certifications
The AI SecureOps Framework is explicitly designed for certification success. Every control maps to audit requirements with clear evidence expectations.
Primary Certification
SOC 2 Certification
SOC 2 is the standard for demonstrating security to enterprise customers and investors. The framework is designed with SOC 2 as the primary certification target.
SOC 2 Type I in 12-16 Weeks
Foundation
- Governance spine establishment
- Policy framework development
- Control selection and scoping
- Tool deployment initiation
Implementation
- Technical control deployment
- Process implementation
- Evidence collection setup
- Training and awareness
Audit Prep
- Evidence organization
- Control effectiveness testing
- Auditor engagement
- Final remediation
Type I Audit
- Auditor fieldwork
- Evidence review
- Management assertion
- Report issuance
AI Integration
How AI controls map to SOC 2
AI-specific controls from Lane 2 integrate with SOC 2 trust principles. This mapping demonstrates to auditors how AI risks are addressed.
AI Data Governance
Maps to: Confidentiality / Processing Integrity
- Training data provenance documentation
- Data classification for AI/ML pipelines
- Model input/output logging
- Data retention for model artifacts
Model Security
Maps to: Security
- Model access controls
- Model versioning and integrity
- Inference endpoint security
- Model artifact encryption
AI System Availability
Maps to: Availability
- Model serving redundancy
- Fallback mechanisms
- Performance monitoring
- Capacity planning
Output Integrity
Maps to: Processing Integrity
- Output validation and filtering
- Hallucination detection
- Bias monitoring
- Quality metrics tracking
ISO 27001 Readiness
For companies with international enterprise customers or regulatory requirements, the framework can be extended to ISO 27001 certification. SOC 2 provides a strong foundation.
International Recognition
ISO 27001 is globally recognized and often required for European enterprise deals.
ISMS Foundation
Establishes a formal Information Security Management System with continuous improvement.
SOC 2 Overlap
Significant control overlap means efficient path from SOC 2 to ISO 27001.
ISO 27001 Requirements
- Information security management system (ISMS)
- Risk assessment methodology
- Statement of Applicability
- 114 controls across 14 domains
- Management commitment
- Internal audit program
- Continuous improvement process
Timeline: 3-6 months additional after SOC 2 Type II, depending on scope and existing maturity.
Audit Success
Control ownership and evidence
Clear ownership and systematic evidence collection are critical for audit success. The framework defines both from day one.
Control Ownership
Every control has a defined owner responsible for implementation, operation, and evidence collection.
Evidence Repository
Organized evidence collection with automated gathering where possible. Always audit-ready.
Testing Schedule
Regular control testing ensures effectiveness and identifies issues before auditors do.
