AI Consensus Assessments Initiative Questionnaire (AI-CAIQ) v1.0.2
Released: 10/16/2025
The AI Consensus Assessment Initiative Questionnaire (AI-CAIQ) is an extension of the Cloud Security Alliance’s widely adopted CAIQ, designed specifically for AI systems.
The AI-CAIQ (AI Consensus Assessment Initiative Questionnaire) is a structured framework designed to help organizations self-assess and validate their adherence to AI-specific controls across critical domains such as governance, security, privacy, and operational resilience. It includes:
- Control Specifications: e.g., "Establish audit policies," "Implement model integrity checks".
- Self-Assessment Questions: Actionable inquiries to evaluate compliance with each control (e.g., "Are audit policies reviewed annually?").
- Taxonomy: Classifies AI lifecycle stages (e.g., development, deployment) and asset categories (e.g., data, models).
- Justification Questions: Section for justifying and providing evidence for your answers to the self-assessment.
This tool enables organizations to systematically identify gaps, mitigate AI-related risks, and demonstrate accountability in line with the CSA AI Controls framework.
