Clause5AFE Systems Inc. is an independent AI compliance certification and auditing company that validates and monitors AI systems against regulatory and ethical standards. It offers the Clause 5™ Trust Framework and Clause5afe certification—covering the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, GDPR, and related principles—plus ongoing context-aware risk monitoring, custodial accountability, consent protocols, and re-certification services.
