EU AI Act & Data Act
EU AI Act compliance without manual chaos.
Independent, auditable reporting and governance, automated, software enabled, and cost efficient.
The EU AI Act entered into force in August 2024. Its obligations will be phased in between 2025 and 2026. Companies operating in or selling into the EU must now prepare for compliance.
High-risk applications (healthcare, HR & recruitment, critical infrastructure, finance, education) face mandatory conformity assessments, documentation, and ongoing monitoring.
Effective compliance in the AI era
Compliance in the AI domain cannot be sustained with manual tracking. It requires automated, intelligent tools to keep pace with complexity and change.
Multiple countries, systems, and AI models - manual tracking breaks down quickly
Evolving regulations - you need traceable, version-controlled documentation
Manual processes are costly, error-prone, and slow down innovation
Independent compliance service supported by the right software tools:
Automated screening of AI use cases across the business.
Risk classification & control mapping based on EU AI Act & Data Act.
Continuous monitoring & traceable reporting.
Lean and cost-efficient, compliance by design, not by bureaucracy.
