Features

The EU AI Act Assurance service features capabilities such as providing guidance, consultation, and support to organizations in ensuring compliance with the regulations outlined in the EU AI Act:
AI Inventory Mapping: Create a centralized registration location that maintains detailed, up-to-date records of projects, models, and databases associated with AI technology across an organization, ensuring clear visibility and strong control over all AI assets.
AI Technical Assessment: Evaluate AI systems, algorithms, and models to ensure compliance with technical standards and guidelines, as well as assess performance, transparency, fairness, accountability, and robustness of AI systems. Conduct technical testing using our audit tooling platform and analysis to identify vulnerabilities and areas for improvement.
Regulatory Compliance Assessment: Evaluate the organization’s identified AI systems, processes, and algorithms to assess compliance with the specific requirements and obligations outlined in the EU AI Act. This capability is supported by our extensive subject matter expertise, proprietary audit tooling and our legal partners.
AI Risk Assessment and Mitigation: Identify potential risks associated with AI deployment and operations within the context of the EU AI Act. These risks may be associated with data vulnerabilities, AI assets’ performance, robustness, security, explainability and transparency; they may even have legal implications. They are evaluated and assigned an appropriate “importance level” with a proprietary, intuitive scoring algorithm. Finally, strategies and frameworks are developed to mitigate these risks effectively.
Documentation and Reporting: Assist in the preparation of documentation and reports required for regulatory compliance, including impact assessments, documentation of AI systems, and regulatory filings as mandated by the EU AI Act.
Advisory Services: Offer advisory support and expert consultation throughout the compliance and risk analysis process. This can be an on-going commitment to address any emerging issues, interpret regulatory changes, and adapt compliance strategies accordingly. Our delivery methods implement a phased approach, which allows for detailed understanding of challenges and solutions and informs the client’s decision-making process regarding efficient, cost-effective planning and use of resources.
Continuous Monitoring and Auditing (optional): Use our proprietary tooling platform to perform independent, recurring audits combined with on-going advisory support. Continuously enhance the mechanisms established for the ongoing monitoring, auditing, and reporting processes, to ensure continued EU AI Act compliance as regulations evolve and as the organization’s AI landscape changes.
