Framework AI Governance & Privacy Frameworks
CPSA
Unresolved label. "CPSA" appears as a bare four-letter entry under the "AI Governance & Model Safety" heading of Coalfire's cybersecurity and compliance frameworks page, with no expansion and no link, sitting between a New York hospital cybersecurity regulation and another unexpanded entry, "SLC".
We could not find any compliance framework, statute, or certification scheme in the AI governance space that uses this acronym.
The best-known use of CPSA in the security industry is the CREST Practitioner Security Analyst, an entry-level multiple-choice exam for individual penetration testers run by CREST, which is a personal qualification and not something an organization complies with or documents against.
Other expansions in circulation (for example the US Consumer Product Safety Act, administered by the CPSC) have nothing to do with AI governance and do not fit the list they appear in.
Until the vendor clarifies the label, this directory treats CPSA as an unidentified reference and does not describe any obligations, assessors, or evidence for it. If you were pointed at "CPSA" as a requirement, ask the party who named it for the full title and the issuing body before spending money on readiness work.

What we checked
