AOIC — ATIC
Organizational Integrity Certification
For enterprises, SMBs, hospitals, universities, nonprofits, and governments.
Organizations that deploy AI systems must ensure that their governance, procurement, and oversight practices are defensible, transparent, and aligned with the public benefit. AOIC — the ATIC Organizational Integrity Certification — evaluates the maturity, responsibility, and defensibility of an institution’s AI governance environment.
An AOIC‑certified organization demonstrates that it deploys AI responsibly, verifies vendor claims, and maintains the ability to withstand regulatory and public scrutiny.

verify the provenance and lineage of vendor‑provided systems

AOIC protects institutions from opaque vendors, unstable supply chains, and governance failures.
