Your Vendor SOC 2 Says Nothing About the Model

▤ Summary

The article argues that SOC 2 reports tell buyers whether a vendor’s controls are in place, but not what an AI model actually did. It explains why traditional infrastructure assurance breaks down for probabilistic, changeable AI systems. It also says regulators and claimants increasingly care about model behavior, traceability, and decision-level records. The piece recommends demanding model provenance, change attestation, and tamper-evident logging before signing with an AI vendor. It presents Mickai’s signed, hash-chained audit record as the proposed fix to the attestation gap.
