Introducing TAISE: The Trusted AI Safety Expert Certificate

Artificial intelligence is shaping the future of business, society, and daily life at an unprecedented pace. Yet, alongside innovation comes urgent responsibility: ensuring that AI systems are safe, secure, ethical, and resilient. CSA, together with Northeastern University, has created the Trusted AI Safety Expert (TAISE) certificate program to meet this moment.

Launching today, TAISE is a movement toward safer, more responsible AI. With its comprehensive curriculum, rigorous assessment, and practical tools, TAISE is an AI security training and certificate program designed to equip professionals worldwide with the expertise to evaluate risks, protect data, and lead their organizations confidently into the AI era.

 

Why TAISE Is Needed Now

The past two years have seen AI adoption accelerate at breakneck speed. Generative AI and large language models are no longer experimental. Virtually every sector is deploying them in some capacity. This rapid integration brings enormous opportunity but also unprecedented risks:

• Security threats: Bad actors can manipulate, poison, or misuse AI systems in ways traditional defenses are not equipped to handle.
• Privacy concerns: Sensitive data powers AI training, raising serious issues of data governance, lineage, and compliance.
• Ethical and legal risks: From misinformation and bias to emerging regulations, organizations face reputational and legal consequences without strong governance in place.
• Skills gap: Most professionals working with AI today lack structured training in safety, security, and responsible deployment.

These challenges are no longer theoretical. Enterprises worldwide are already experiencing the consequences of rushing AI into production without adequate guardrails. As global regulators develop frameworks like the NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, and ISO standards, organizations need experts who can interpret and apply these models with confidence.

This is where the TAISE program comes in. It fills the gap by providing the world’s first comprehensive, research-backed AI safety certification program. TAISE ensures professionals are ready not just to use AI, but to lead its responsible adoption.

 

A New Standard in AI Safety and Security

TAISE represents a major milestone for CSA. Where the Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) set the bar for cloud security expertise, TAISE now does the same for AI. This is the first global AI safety certificate that blends academic rigor and industry leadership.

The partnership between CSA and Northeastern brings together CSA’s deep experience in building globally adopted security standards with Northeastern’s leading research in AI ethics and governance. The result is a credential that is both respected and transformative. By earning TAISE, professionals gain recognition as trusted leaders in a field that will define the future of technology.

 

Practical Skills for Real-World Challenges

The TAISE program goes beyond theory. Across 10 self-paced modules, learners explore the technical, ethical, and operational dimensions of AI safety. Topics include:

• Generative AI architecture and design
• AI use cases and ethical implications
• AI model lifecycle and threat taxonomy
• Governance, risk management, and compliance
• Data security and privacy in AI systems
• Cloud security and incident response in AI environments

This training is reinforced by the TAISE Prompt Library, a unique resource that provides curated prompts and exercises to translate concepts into hands-on, job-ready skills. Whether you’re designing secure MLOps pipelines, developing incident response plans, or aligning AI adoption with compliance frameworks, TAISE prepares you with practical tools you can use immediately.

 

Who Should Pursue TAISE?

Any professional whose work intersects with AI will find value in the TAISE program. This includes developers, security architects, compliance officers, auditors, and leaders driving organizational AI adoption.

If your responsibilities involve evaluating risks, protecting sensitive data, ensuring regulatory compliance, or guiding ethical AI strategies, TAISE provides a trusted framework to lead with confidence. By completing the program, you signal your commitment to advancing safe and responsible AI adoption.

 

Why Earning TAISE Matters

Earning TAISE validates your ability to safeguard AI systems across their lifecycle. It also strengthens your career in a field where demand for skilled professionals is exploding. You’ll master leading frameworks such as NIST AI RMF, CSA’s AI Control Matrix (AICM), ISO standards, and MITRE ATLAS, ensuring that your knowledge is aligned with the most important global approaches to AI safety.

One industry leader put it this way:

“The way I see it, TAISE is a movement disguised as a credential. At its core, it is about shaping leaders who treat AI safety as non-negotiable. What’s more, it gives you the confidence to lead AI with both vision and responsibility.”

- Goutama Bachtiar, Global Advisory Board, EC-Council

This vision is what makes TAISE different. It may be a certificate to add to your resume, but it's also a recognition of your role in shaping the future of AI.
