Independent Expert Validation™
Optional third-party review of an AI Trust Assessment™ by a qualified, Clariantix-vetted expert — adding independence, rigor, and defensibility.
Purpose
Validation moves the AI Trust Score™ from self-attestation to independently reviewed. It is designed for organizations whose boards, regulators, or enterprise customers expect a third-party signal on AI governance.
Review Methodology
Reviewers follow a documented Clariantix methodology covering scope, evidence quality, control design, and consistency between findings and the underlying responses.
Evidence Review
The reviewer evaluates the evidence package submitted with the assessment — policies, inventories, vendor reviews, incident records — and tests it against the responses provided.
Professional Sign-Off
A credentialed reviewer issues a sign-off addressed to the organization, confirming the methodology was followed and the findings are supported by the evidence reviewed.
Validation Statement
The validation statement is shareable with boards, regulators, and customers, and is referenced by the validated Trust Mark™ on /verify.
Executive Confidence & Procurement
Validation gives executive teams confidence in the AI Trust Score™ they communicate externally, and accelerates enterprise procurement and security review cycles.
