AI Compliance Audit
for EU Markets
Navigate the EU AI Act and GDPR with confidence. Our comprehensive AI compliance audit covers risk classification, documentation generation, conformity assessment preparation, and ongoing monitoring to keep your AI systems market-ready.
AI regulation is here. Are you ready?
The EU AI Act is the world's first comprehensive AI law. Non-compliance means penalties up to 35M EUR or 7% of global revenue.
What is the EU AI Act?
The EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) is the world's first comprehensive legal framework for artificial intelligence. It establishes a risk-based approach to regulating AI systems that are placed on the EU market or whose output is used within the EU.
Even if your company is headquartered outside the EU, the AI Act applies if your AI systems are used by people in the EU or if the output of your AI is used in the EU. This extraterritorial reach makes it critical for any global company deploying AI.
The regulation works alongside GDPR, which already governs how personal data is processed by AI systems. Together, these frameworks create the most comprehensive AI governance regime in the world.
EU AI Act Risk Categories
Prohibited AI Systems
Social scoring by governments, real-time biometric identification in public spaces (with exceptions), manipulation of vulnerable groups, emotion recognition in workplaces/schools. These are banned entirely from August 2025.
Regulated AI Systems
AI in critical infrastructure, education, employment, essential services, law enforcement, migration, and justice. Requires conformity assessment, risk management systems, data governance, technical documentation, transparency, and human oversight. Deadline: August 2026.
Transparency Obligations
Chatbots, deepfake generators, emotion recognition systems, and AI-generated content. Must clearly disclose AI involvement to users. Includes most generative AI systems under GPAI provisions.
No Specific Obligations
AI-enabled video games, spam filters, inventory management. No mandatory requirements, but voluntary codes of conduct are encouraged.
AI Compliance Audit Services
Risk Classification Assessment
We analyze each of your AI systems against the EU AI Act's risk taxonomy to determine which category applies. This determines your compliance obligations and timeline.
GDPR-AI Alignment
Ensure your AI's data processing activities comply with GDPR requirements: lawful basis, data minimization, purpose limitation, DPIA obligations, and automated decision-making under Article 22.
Documentation Generation
Produce the technical documentation required by the AI Act: risk management system records, data governance documentation, system architecture descriptions, and conformity declarations.
Conformity Assessment Support
Guide you through the conformity assessment process for high-risk AI. Prepare for notified body reviews, internal conformity procedures, and CE marking requirements.
Ongoing Monitoring
Continuous compliance monitoring with automated drift detection, bias auditing, performance tracking, and incident logging to maintain conformity post-deployment.
AI Literacy Training
The AI Act requires organizations to ensure staff have sufficient AI literacy. We provide role-specific training programs for developers, deployers, and management.

Common Questions
Yes. The EU AI Act has extraterritorial reach, similar to GDPR. It applies to any provider that places AI systems on the EU market or whose AI system output is used in the EU. If your AI serves EU customers or processes EU data, you likely need to comply.
High-risk AI includes systems used in: critical infrastructure management, education and vocational training (scoring, admissions), employment (CV screening, hiring), essential services (credit scoring, insurance), law enforcement, migration and asylum, and justice/democratic processes. The full list is in Annex III of the regulation.
They work together. GDPR governs personal data processing (lawful basis, data subject rights, DPIAs), while the AI Act adds requirements for the AI system itself (risk management, transparency, human oversight). If your AI processes personal data in the EU, you need to comply with both.
High-risk AI requires: risk management system documentation, data governance records, technical documentation (architecture, training data, testing results), transparency provisions for users, human oversight mechanisms, logging capabilities, accuracy/robustness/cybersecurity measures, and a declaration of conformity.
A typical AI compliance audit takes 4-8 weeks depending on the number of AI systems, complexity, and current documentation state. For companies with a single high-risk AI system, we can complete the initial assessment in 2-3 weeks. Ongoing monitoring is continuous.
