AI Governance & EU AI Act Readiness

Adopt AI without regulatory exposure. Policy, risk classification, and guardrails built for the EU AI Act and the way your team actually works.

Overview

The EU AI Act is phasing in obligations through 2026 and beyond, and most teams adopting AI have no policy, no risk classification, and no audit trail. That's a gap you don't want to discover during due diligence or an incident. We build the governance layer that lets you move fast without betting the company on it — designed to slot alongside your fluency training and your agentic rollout, not bolt on as paperwork nobody reads.

What the EU AI Act asks of you

In plain terms: know which AI systems you use, classify them by risk, keep humans in the loop where it matters, document your decisions, and be able to show your work. Different uses carry different obligations. We translate the regulation into a practical checklist for your actual systems — not a legal treatise.

What we build

An AI inventory of every system and model in use. Risk classification against the EU AI Act's tiers. Usage policy and acceptable-use guidelines your team will actually follow. Model and vendor risk assessments for what you adopt. Human-oversight and audit trails so decisions are traceable. Staff training on responsible use, paired with the fluency program.

Not legal advice — readiness

We bring the technical and operational side of governance and work alongside your legal counsel, who owns the legal interpretation. This is readiness and engineering, not a compliance certification. We're explicit about that line because pretending otherwise would put you at risk.

FAQs

We're a small team — does the EU AI Act even apply to us?
Obligations scale with how you use AI, not just company size. A short assessment tells you which tiers you fall into, and most teams need far less than they fear — but they do need something.

Do you replace our lawyers?
No. We handle the technical controls, risk classification, policy, and audit mechanisms, and we partner with your counsel on legal interpretation.

Can this run alongside adoption?
Yes — that's the point. Governance works best built in from the start, alongside Cowork & Agentic Adoption and AI Fluency Training, so safe use is the default, not an afterthought.
