Global & regional laws / Law or regulation

EU Artificial Intelligence Act

The EU’s risk-based AI law, with obligations phasing in from 2025 and high-risk rules now expected from late 2027.

The EU AI Act classifies AI systems by risk (prohibited, high-risk, limited-risk transparency obligations and minimal risk) and sets duties for providers, deployers, importers and distributors. We build an AI inventory, classify each system, and implement governance through ISO/IEC 42001 so compliance evidence is produced as part of normal operations.

Who it is for

  • Providers and deployers of AI systems in the EU
  • Non-EU companies placing AI on the EU market
  • Organisations using AI in HR, credit, education or safety contexts

What you gain

  • Know which obligations apply to each AI system
  • Governance that also supports ISO 42001 certification
  • Time to prepare before high-risk rules apply

How we get you compliant

  1. Applicability and scoping

    Confirm whether and how the law applies to you, entities, data, systems, roles and territories.

  2. Data and process mapping

    Build a record of processing or control inventory so obligations can be tied to real systems and owners.

  3. Gap assessment

    Measure current practice against each obligation and rank the gaps by legal and business risk.

  4. Remediation roadmap

    Policies, notices, contracts, technical controls and governance, sequenced so the highest risks close first.

  5. Evidence and ongoing monitoring

    A compliance calendar, metrics and periodic reviews so you can demonstrate compliance to a regulator or customer at any time.

EU AI Act questions

When do high-risk AI obligations apply?
Prohibited practices and AI literacy duties applied from February 2025 and general-purpose AI obligations from August 2025. Under the AI Omnibus, in force since 27 July 2026, high-risk obligations are pushed back to 2 December 2027 for stand-alone systems (Annex III) and 2 August 2028 for AI embedded in regulated products (Annex I).
