Terms of use and disclaimer

What this site is, and what it is not.

Effective October 11, 2026. These terms apply to your use of this website. Engagements with Datum Zero, LLC are governed by a separate written agreement.

What we do

Datum Zero provides compliance and AI assurance readiness and advisory services. It is not a certification body, a licensed CPA firm, or an accredited assessment organization. Certifications, attestations, and authorizations are issued by independent assessors and accredited bodies, and only they decide the result.

Independence

Datum Zero does not both prepare an organization and serve as its certifying assessor for the same engagement. Preparation work is kept separate from assessment.

No guarantee of outcome

Readiness work improves the odds and the quality of an assessment. It does not guarantee certification, attestation, authorization, or any particular finding by a third party.

General information only

It is not legal advice, audit advice, or a substitute for the text of any regulation or standard, and reading it does not create a client relationship. Regulations and standards change, and the site may not reflect the latest version.
