The problem
Your security team is skilled. Can they prove AI-specific competence?
AI deployment has outpaced the security profession’s ability to assess it, and the gap is widening every quarter.
01
Conventional certifications have added AI. AISP is built around it.
CISSP, CISM, and CEH have added AI security topics because the market demanded it, but AI is still one topic within a much broader certification. Security professionals learn about threats; governance and compliance teams focus on policy. Rarely do both come together in one credential.
02
Hiring alone won’t close the gap
The market for skilled AI security practitioners is too small and too expensive. The top recommendation isn’t “hire more”, it’s developing formal AI security capability in the people you already have, and being able to demonstrate that competency.
03
Regulation is already requiring it
The EU AI Act, DORA, and NIS2 are pulling AI-specific security obligations into scope for regulated industries. Regulators will increasingly ask who on your team is formally qualified, not just who handles security generally.
The regulatory reality
Article 4 of the EU AI Act is not coming. It is here.
“Providers and deployers of AI systems shall take measures to ensure … a sufficient level of AI literacy of their staff … dealing with the operation and use of AI systems on their behalf.”
