Build your company's AI Governance, with full autonomy

Roles, use policies, human oversight, and incident response — the structure any company using AI needs. The AI Act is today's main regulatory reference in the EU, but it's one part of the path, not the whole path.

8–12 weeks 6 guided phases 4 key resources

📍 Outside the EU? This path is built around the AI Act, but it applies the same way if you offer AI systems in the EU or use their output there, wherever you're based. If your country has its own AI governance framework (like NIST AI RMF in the US), the same roles and controls give you a head start.

Does this sound familiar?

You use AI (ChatGPT, copilots, in-house models) without knowing which AI Act risk category you fall into.

There's no registry of which AI systems each team uses, or who approved them.

Nobody has defined what's allowed and what isn't when using AI with customer data.

If a regulator asked tomorrow, you wouldn't have a single document to show.

What AI Act risk level are you at?

Answer 4 questions and get an instant, indicative classification.

Quick risk classifier
Indicative only. Not a substitute for legal advice.

1. Does your AI system subliminally manipulate people's behaviour, or is it used for social scoring?

2. Does your system make or decisively influence decisions about people: hiring, credit, health, justice?

3. Is it a chatbot, content generator, or does it interact directly with people simulating a human?

4. Do you use it as internal support (analytics, productivity, internal task automation)?

Indicative result generated by simple rules, without recording your answers. For a formal classification, see the full assessment or consult a professional.

Your company doesn't need to be based in the EU. The AI Act has extraterritorial scope: it applies if you offer an AI system in the European market, or if its output is used in the EU — wherever you're established.

The 8 layers of your AI Governance

You already know your risk level. This is how the rest gets built, layer by layer: answer the self-check and you'll see exactly what's missing.

Time Months of back-and-forth 8–12 weeks, at your own pace

Updates Pay again for every regulatory change Content reviewed as the timeline progresses

Each AI system you use may need its own risk classification and documentation — this estimates what you save by doing it with templates instead of commissioning each audit from an outside law firm.

3 systems × €1,200/system of external legal audit €3,600
€3,600 in external legal-audit cost avoided, if you document it yourself with these templates

Rough estimate. €1,200/system is an average market cost for a risk classification and technical documentation commissioned from an outside law firm. Your case may vary.

Before you ask

Does the AI Act apply to me if I only use ChatGPT or Copilot internally?
Probably yes, although with limited obligations (mainly transparency and AI literacy). The exact level depends on how you use it: try the risk classifier on this page.
What happens if I don't comply?
The Regulation provides for penalties that can reach several million euros, or a percentage of global turnover, depending on the severity of the infringement.
Does this replace legal advice?
No. It's the operational and documentary foundation; for specific legal interpretations of your case, consult a professional. Full legal notice →
Do I need to sort out my Data Governance first?
It's not mandatory, but if you're training or fine-tuning models with your own data, Art. 10 requires governance of that data. We also recommend reviewing the Data Governance path.
