CCSI

Confidential Computing Security Institute

Proof, not promises, for data in use.

CCSI certifies businesses and engineers on confidential computing: trusted execution environments, remote attestation, and the key management and supply-chain controls that make them trustworthy. We also train Closed Circuit Secure Intelligence Officers and perform authorized confidential computing audits for AI startups.

Our mission

Confidential computing protects data while it is being processed, not just at rest or in transit. Its guarantees only hold when the enclave, the attestation chain, the keys, and the build pipeline are all done right. CCSI exists to define what “done right” looks like, test it, and certify the organizations and people who meet it.

Confidential computing audits for AI startups

Whether you run models in AWS Nitro Enclaves, on Google Cloud Confidential VMs or Confidential Space, or have not adopted confidential computing yet, a CCSI audit tells you where your protections for data in use actually stand.

Audits only begin after your company requests one and provides written authorization and an agreed scope. CCSI does not test systems without permission.
