Our commitment to responsible AI adoption as a founding signatory of the CREST AI Charter

Artificial intelligence is transforming cyber security operations, empowering defenders to scale their capabilities and match the speed of modern threats. However, as AI adoption grows, so does the need for trust, transparency, accountability, and professional oversight.

 Recognising the vital importance of safe and responsible AI use across our own operations and the wider cyber security profession, Socura is proud to be a founding signatory of the CREST AI Charter – one of 60 CREST members globally.

By signing this voluntary charter, Socura agrees to uphold the highest standards in AI adoption, in line with the core CREST AI Principles. These principles cover nine core areas, including accountability and governance, transparency of use, data sovereignty, and security and confidentiality.
