EU AI Act Compliance

The EU AI Act Is in Force.
Can You Show Your Readiness?

Most organizations deploying AI systems cannot produce the evidence regulators now require. We map every AI system to EU AI Act Articles 9–15 using a peer-reviewed, 8-dimension framework — with an immutable audit trail that gives you founded, defensible evidence of readiness, not just claims.

The Cost of “We Think
We’re Compliant”

The EU AI Act applies to every organization deploying high-risk AI systems in the European Union. Enforcement is not future tense — it is happening now.

Regulators are not asking whether you have an AI governance policy. They are asking you to show that every AI system has been evaluated, that risks have been documented, and that your evidence is auditable.

“We’re working on it” is not defensible. “Here is our immutable audit trail” is.

What Regulators Expect

Articles 9–15: What You Need to Show

The EU AI Act defines specific obligations for high-risk AI systems. For each article, we show what the regulation requires and what evidence you need to produce.

Art. 9

Risk Management

What It Requires

A continuous, iterative risk management process throughout the AI system lifecycle. Risks must be identified, evaluated, and mitigated with documented evidence.

What a Regulator Expects

A risk register with quantified risk scores, documented mitigation actions, and proof of ongoing monitoring — not a one-time assessment.

Art. 10

Data Governance

What It Requires

Training, validation, and testing data must meet quality criteria. Data practices must prevent bias and ensure representative datasets across protected groups.

What a Regulator Expects

Demographic parity metrics, bias testing results, and documentation that data governance practices are enforced — not just described.

Art. 11

Technical Documentation

What It Requires

Comprehensive technical documentation that demonstrates compliance before the AI system is placed on the market or put into service. Documentation must be kept up to date.

What a Regulator Expects

Model cards, data sheets, methodology descriptions, and a complete record of compliance evaluations — maintained continuously, not created retroactively when asked.

Art. 12

Record-Keeping

What It Requires

AI systems must have automatic logging capabilities that ensure traceability of the system's functioning throughout its lifecycle. Logs must be retained for an appropriate period.

What a Regulator Expects

An immutable, tamper-proof audit trail that captures every evaluation, every flag, and every decision — with retention periods that exceed the system's operational lifetime.

Art. 13

Transparency

What It Requires

AI systems must be sufficiently transparent to enable users to interpret the system's output and use it appropriately.

What a Regulator Expects

Explainability scores for every AI decision, human-readable justifications for flags and recommendations, and documented evidence that transparency mechanisms are operational.

Art. 14

Human Oversight

What It Requires

AI systems must be designed to allow effective oversight by natural persons during the period in which the system is in use, including the ability to override or reverse automated decisions.

What a Regulator Expects

A dashboard showing human intervention rates, override logs, and evidence that oversight mechanisms are used — not just available.

Art. 15

Accuracy, Robustness & Cybersecurity

What It Requires

AI systems must achieve consistent performance levels, be resilient to errors and adversarial attacks, and meet cybersecurity standards appropriate to the risk level.

What a Regulator Expects

Critical error rates, adversarial resilience test results, performance drift monitoring, and evidence that robustness is continuously measured — not tested once and assumed.

Built for the EU AI Act.
Not Retrofitted.

Our 8-dimension framework maps natively to Articles 9–15. Each dimension produces the specific evidence regulators expect — scored, traceable, and stored in an immutable audit trail.

8. Accountability & Human Oversight

Proves

Risk scored per dimension as an occurrence rate over N runs, with documented mitigation and a coverage report

Article

3. Transparency & Explainability

Proves

Unfaithful explanations, sycophancy, and undisclosed AI surfaced, with full traceability from score to the attack that produced it

Article

Art. 14 — Human Oversight

7. Security & Access Control

Proves

Unauthorized actions, privilege abuse, and oversight evasion exercised, with every action traceable to the human accountable for it

Article

Art. 15 — Accuracy & Robustness

Dimension

5. Factuality + 6. Robustness

Proves

Hallucination and fabricated citations caught, resistance to prompt injection and jailbreaks tested — expressed as rates over N runs

Additional coverage: Safety & Harmful Content and Privacy & Data Protection provide evidence beyond Articles 9–15, covering GDPR alignment, PII exposure, and harmful content detection.

Peer-Reviewed Methodology

When a Regulator Asks How You Evaluate Compliance, What Do You Show Them?

Most AI governance platforms ask you to trust their proprietary compliance engine. When a regulator asks how it works, you point to a vendor’s marketing page.

We do it differently. Our 8-dimension framework was developed by PhD researchers in AI ethics, bias detection, and adversarial evaluation. It is validated through peer-reviewed publications across three domains.

When a regulator asks how you evaluate AI compliance, you point to published science. That is the difference between a vendor opinion and defensible evidence.
