About CSGA Global

Our Heritage & Origins

CSGA Global was founded on a simple but urgent premise: as AI systems become deeply embedded in critical infrastructure, governance cannot be an afterthought. It must be constitutional — principled, enforceable, and internationally portable.

Born from the convergence of cybersecurity expertise and AI ethics research, the CSOAI Group set out to build not just another compliance checklist, but a living constitutional framework that bridges the gap between technical implementation and regulatory obligation across jurisdictions.

Today, our 52-article constitutional framework — mapped to 17 international standards including ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, the EU AI Act, and NATO STANAG protocols — serves as the foundation for organisations seeking responsible AI adoption at scale.

From healthcare and financial services to defence and critical national infrastructure, CSGA Global provides the standards, platforms, certifications, and human expertise that make trustworthy AI a reality rather than an aspiration.

Our Mission

To establish the CSOAI constitutional framework as the definitive standard for ethical, effective AI governance — enabling organisations across 36 industry sectors to deploy AI systems with confidence, accountability, and full regulatory alignment.

We achieve this through a comprehensive ecosystem of standards, platforms, education, and professional services that translate constitutional principles into practical, auditable implementation.

Our Vision

A future where AI systems operate in genuine cognitive symbiosis with human decision-makers — where cybersecurity is proactive rather than reactive, and technological advancement is guided by constitutional principles of safety, accountability, and transparency.

Through our MCP servers, CASA certification programme, and defence-grade compliance tools, CSGA Global is already delivering this vision to organisations across the Five Eyes alliance and beyond.
