Versions

CTS-1 version 1.0

First version

  • First publication of the standard: three risks, 12 domains and 36 requirements.
  • Crosswalks to the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF, the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications (2025), the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications (2026), MITRE ATLAS (v2026.10), SOC 2, the GDPR, SR 26-2, ISO/IEC 27001 and DORA.
  • Certification process, severity levels, decision rule, quarterly re-tests and certificate statuses.
  • Public registry and badge.

How the standard changes

  • Minor versions, such as 1.1, clarify wording, add guidance or update crosswalks. They do not change what a certified system must do.
  • Major versions, such as 2.0, add, change or retire requirements. They are announced at least 90 days before they take effect.
  • Identifiers are never reused. A retired requirement keeps its identifier and is marked as retired.
  • Certificates name their version. A certificate stays valid against the version it was issued for until it expires. Recertification uses the version in force at that time.
  • Crosswalks are reviewed every quarter, because laws, standards and threat catalogues change.
