AI Systems Audit

AI-Assisted

AI Act readiness — classify, document, comply.

The EU AI Act introduces the world's first comprehensive regulatory framework for artificial intelligence, with requirements that vary based on risk classification. Organizations deploying AI systems need to understand their obligations — from transparency requirements for limited-risk systems to rigorous conformity assessments for high-risk applications. Our AI audit service helps you classify your AI systems, assess compliance gaps, and prepare the documentation and governance frameworks regulators will require.

How We Work

The first step in AI Act compliance is knowing what AI systems you operate and how they're classified. We conduct a thorough inventory of all AI and automated decision-making systems across your organization — including systems you may not realize qualify as AI under the regulation's broad definition. Each system is classified according to the AI Act risk tiers: unacceptable risk (prohibited), high risk (requiring full conformity assessment), limited risk (transparency obligations), and minimal risk (no specific obligations). This classification determines the compliance requirements for each system.

What You Get

AI Act risk classification for every system. Transparency and explainability assessment evaluating user notification practices, explainability of outputs, human oversight provisions, and appeal mechanisms. Training data governance evaluation assessing dataset quality, representativeness, and labeling practices. Bias and fairness analysis with statistical testing for disparate impact across protected categories. Comprehensive technical documentation packages aligned with regulatory requirements: specifications, risk management records, testing reports, and post-market monitoring plans. Guidance on ongoing AI governance frameworks.

Technologies & Tools

We use AI explainability frameworks to analyze model decision-making processes. Bias detection tools evaluate model outputs across demographic groups and protected characteristics. Data governance assessment tools audit training data quality, provenance, and representativeness. Documentation templates aligned with EU AI Act requirements ensure comprehensive coverage. Model performance monitoring tools help establish ongoing compliance validation. All tools and frameworks are selected based on your specific AI technology stack and deployment model.

Who Is This For

Organizations developing or deploying AI systems in the EU that need to understand their obligations under the AI Act. Companies using AI for decisions that affect individuals — hiring, lending, insurance, law enforcement, healthcare. AI vendors and service providers that need to demonstrate compliance to their customers. Organizations that want to adopt AI responsibly and build trust with stakeholders. Compliance and legal teams preparing for AI regulation enforcement. We help establish ongoing review procedures for new AI deployments and change management for existing systems.

AI Act readiness — classify, document, comply.

1

We Build Production AI Systems

Dozens of specialized AI agents in production, an automated development process with all types of testing — we're not slide-deck consultants. We know how AI works in practice because we build it.

2

AI Act Risk Classification

We precisely classify your AI system on the 4-tier EU AI Act risk scale. We determine specific obligations: from minimal requirements to full certification.

3

Bias & Fairness Testing

We test your models for bias, discrimination, and lack of transparency. We deliver a report with concrete remediation recommendations.
