AI fit for take-off


We independently assess how AI systems behave in the real world — giving you credible assurance that your AI is safe and dependable in operation.

Independent AI assurance across the full lifecycle​

Our services support organisations before, during, and after AI deployment — from readiness and procurement through independent system assessment and ongoing oversight — ensuring AI systems remain safe, accountable, and effective in real-world use.

Outcomes
  • Confidence that AI systems remain aligned with organisational values and obligations
  • Early detection and mitigation of emerging risk as systems scale or change

Assurance at every AI decision point

AI risk doesn’t sit in one team or moment — it moves across the lifecycle. We provide independent AI assurance wherever decisions about design, deployment, risk transfer, and oversight carry operational, financial, or regulatory consequence.

AI owners & builders

Benchmark, validate, and certify AI systems for fairness, reliability, and compliance — with independent assurance that unlocks regulated markets and sustained customer trust.

AI buyers & implementers

Select, deploy, and scale AI with confidence — supported by vendor assurance, readiness assessments, and compliance roadmaps that reduce liability and accelerate adoption.

Risk & trust evaluators

Generate defensible insight into AI risk through rigorous audits and expert analysis — supporting underwriting, M&A, investment, and regulatory decisions.

AI risk underwriters

Assess AI-driven exposure in insured systems through independent, system-level assurance — supporting underwriting, portfolio risk management, and risk transfer.

Supervisory & regulatory bodies

Inspect deployed systems, enforce compliance, and shape policy frameworks — strengthened by socio-technical expertise and continuous oversight.

Unique challenges

From strategic reviews to deep technical dives and custom tooling — our multidisciplinary teams tailor assurance to match your risk profile, context, and mission.

Why

Eticas

We bring capabilities traditional assurance can’t match

  • Trusted by regulators, procurement teams, and public bodies, our assurance is fully impartial. We provide objective evidence about how your AI behaves — credibility you simply can’t achieve from an internal review

  • We provide audit-ready evidence and expert analysis that withstand regulatory, legal, and public scrutiny. Our assurance shows not only how your AI works, but why its decisions can be trusted

  • We’ve been assuring high-impact algorithmic and AI systems since 2012, working across industries, governments, and regulated sectors worldwide. Our long-established expertise helps organisations anticipate risks early and meet evolving expectations with confidence

  • Measuring both model performance and real-world impact.

  • We provide ongoing monitoring to detect drift, emerging harms, and performance issues over time — helping ensure your assurance remains valid as systems evolve 

  • We help organisations deploy responsibly and scale faster. Our assurance builds trust, removes adoption barriers, and supports confident decision-making across teams, stakeholders, and customers

Real clients. All verticals. Real impact.
