LEGALLY BINDING SINCE FEBRUARY 2025
The compliance challenge
The EU AI Act Article 4 requirements for AI literacy have been legally binding since February 2, 2025. Additional requirements continue to phase in through 2027.
Most organisations don’t know what AI systems they’re actually using, let alone whether they’re compliant. Employees use ChatGPT with personal accounts. Departments deploy AI features without central approval. Third-party vendors embed AI into services without clear disclosure.
Without systematic visibility, you’re making compliance decisions based on incomplete information. And penalties for getting it wrong start at €1.5 million, scaling to €35 million or 7% of global revenue for serious breaches.

What we provide
THE COMPLIANCE AUDIT
AI system inventory
Complete mapping of AI tools across your organisation: approved systems, shadow AI, embedded AI in third-party services, and AI in development. We identify what’s actually in use, not just what’s on the approved list.
Risk classification
Each system classified according to EU AI Act risk categories: prohibited, high-risk, limited risk, minimal risk. With clear documentation of the rationale for each classification.
Obligations analysis
Specific compliance requirements for each system based on your role (provider, deployer, importer, distributor) and the system’s risk classification. No generic advice; obligations mapped to your specific situation.
Gap assessment
Current compliance status compared to required compliance status. Clear identification of gaps that need to be addressed, prioritised by risk and effort. Plus a remediation roadmap with specific steps and timelines.
