Key takeaways
- Publicly available resources and independent certifications can help security, risk, and procurement teams evaluate Oracle’s AI security, compliance, and governance posture across Oracle Cloud Applications.
- ISO/IEC 42001 certification demonstrates that the AI capabilities in Oracle Cloud Applications are governed through a structured management system covering risk identification, assessment, mitigation, and continuous improvement.
- CSA AI STAR Level 2 and the AI CAIQ offer independent, third-party assessments and answers to standardized questionnaires that reduce the need for lengthy, custom evaluations.
Oracle’s approach to AI in Oracle Cloud Applications is grounded in the same principles that underpin our broader cloud security and compliance program: formal governance, independent validation, and practical transparency. Rather than treating these concepts as abstract ideas, Oracle documents how AI is governed across the suite and makes that evidence available in formats that security, risk, and procurement teams can actually use.
Below you’ll find key public resources you can use to understand and evaluate Oracle’s security and compliance posture related to SaaS cloud applications, along with a brief explanation of why each one matters.
ISO/IEC 42001 certification for Oracle SaaS
ISO/IEC 42001 is the first international standard focused on AI Management Systems (AIMS). Oracle’s certification demonstrates that AI capabilities in Oracle Cloud Applications are governed through a structured management system that covers risk identification, assessment, mitigation, and continuous improvement, with privacy‑by‑design as a core expectation. Customers can obtain more information about available attestations by contacting their Oracle sales representative.
For customers, this is useful because it shows that AI is not being managed informally or on a feature‑by‑feature basis. Instead, there is a documented, auditable framework that boards, regulators, and internal risk committees can recognize and align with their own AI policies.
CSA AI STAR Level 2 attestation
AI STAR Level 2 is a program from the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) that provides independent third‑party assessment of a provider’s controls for AI and cloud security. For Oracle Cloud Applications, achieving AI STAR Level 2 means that an AI agent has evaluated how Oracle’s controls map to CSA’s guidance in combination with the ISO 42001 certification.
This is useful because many organizations now reference CSA guidance in their own cloud and AI risk frameworks. When a provider has a Level 2 attestation, customers can reuse that attestation as part of their internal due diligence, significantly reducing the time and effort required for bespoke evaluations. It gives CISOs and risk leaders a familiar reference point when comparing Oracle to other vendors.
Oracle Cloud Applications AI CAIQ
The CSA’s AI Consensus Assessment Initiative Questionnaire (AI CAIQ) is a standardized questionnaire that captures how a provider approaches AI security and governance. Oracle publishes an AI CAIQ specifically for Oracle Cloud Applications, which answers a broad set of questions about AI-related controls, processes, and responsibilities.
This resource is especially useful for security, procurement, and legal teams because it provides a ready‑made, structured set of answers in a format many organizations already use. Instead of drafting lengthy custom questionnaires, teams can start with the published CAIQ and add a small number of additional questions as needed. It also helps create a shared language across stakeholders, since everyone is working from the same baseline document.
Oracle Cloud compliance documentation
Beyond AI‑specific artifacts, Oracle maintains a broader library of cloud compliance documentation, including security business briefs, audit reports, certifications, and service‑specific descriptions of controls. These resources cover foundational topics such as data protection, access control, logging, incident response, and regional compliance obligations, and they are important because AI risk is dependent in part on the policies and controls of the underlying cloud platform.
Using these resources effectively
Taken together, these public resources form a toolkit for customers and prospects who need to evaluate Oracle’s AI security and compliance posture. A practical approach is to use the AI CAIQ as the baseline artifact for vendor risk assessments, reference ISO/IEC 42001 and CSA AI STAR Level 2 in internal and external assurance conversations, and pull from the broader cloud compliance documentation to answer detailed questions about platform‑level controls.
By integrating these materials into governance, risk, and procurement workflows, organizations can shorten evaluation cycles, reduce questionnaire churn, and give stakeholders greater confidence in the AI capabilities they are deploying with Oracle Cloud Applications.
