SQ1 Security joins global effort to advance responsible AI use in cybersecurityGlobal – July 3, 2026
SQ1 Security, a cybersecurity and compliance specialist, has officially become a community signatory of the CREST AI Charter, joining close to 60 founding signatories across 15 countries committed to the responsible use of AI in cybersecurity. The Charter brings together cybersecurity providers, technology vendors, enterprise security teams, and public sector bodies around a shared set of principles for trust, transparency, and accountability in AI-enabled security services.
Why the CREST AI Charter matters
As AI becomes part of how cybersecurity services are delivered, clients and regulators need confidence that it is used responsibly, not just effectively. CREST's AI Principles set shared expectations across nine areas, including accountability, transparency, data sovereignty, secure AI development, and supply chain assurance, giving the industry a practical, checkable foundation for trust as AI adoption accelerates.What signing means for SQ1
By becoming a signatory, SQ1 Security formally commits to the CREST AI Principles, including maintaining human oversight of its AI-enabled activities, being transparent with clients about how and where AI is used across its products, documenting its AI use for review, and applying governance controls proportionate to risk. This extends the same standards already built into how Stakflo and Scani5 handle AI-driven security and compliance work.About SQ1 Security
SQ1 Security builds AI into cybersecurity and compliance the way it should be built, with oversight, not around it. Its products, Stakflo and Scani5, use AI to automate compliance evidence, manage vulnerabilities, and keep organisations audit ready, backed by expert services for teams that need more than a dashboard. As a CREST AI Charter community signatory, SQ1 holds that same AI to a public standard of transparency, accountability, and governance, the same standard it expects from every AI-enabled tool it recommends to clients.Frequently asked questions
