Certifyi's EU AI Act Compliance Framework

Certifyi offers a comprehensive solution for organizations navigating the complexities of the EU AI Act, the first global regulation aimed at ensuring safe, transparent, and trustworthy artificial intelligence.

What is the EU AI Act?

The EU AI Act is a binding regulatory framework that governs the development, commercialization, and use of artificial intelligence systems within the European Union. Its central aim is to ensure AI operates safely and ethically, balancing the protection of fundamental rights with the promotion of innovation. The Act introduces a risk-based approach, classifying AI systems into four categories—unacceptable risk, high risk, limited risk, and minimal risk—with corresponding obligations for providers and users. For example, high-risk applications such as medical diagnostics or workplace performance monitoring require the establishment of a risk management system, robust documentation, and ongoing oversight.

Enforcement of the EU AI Act is managed by national regulators within each EU country, supported by supranational bodies like the EU AI Office and the EU AI Board. National authorities are responsible for market surveillance and ensuring compliance, while the EU AI Office works to harmonize enforcement and provide guidance across member states. This decentralized, sector-based approach allows for tailored oversight but may result in some variation in enforcement practices across countries. The Act’s design reflects the EU’s broader commitment to harmonizing AI governance, ensuring both safety and innovation, and fostering trust in AI technologies across the single market.

Prohibition of Unacceptable-Risk AI:

Systems such as social scoring and real-time biometric identification are banned unless strictly regulated for law enforcement purposes.

High-Risk AI Obligations:

Systems impacting fundamental rights or safety (e.g., biometric identification, critical infrastructure, education, employment) require conformity assessments, registration in an EU database, and continuous monitoring

General-Purpose AI Models:

Providers must assess systemic risks and adhere to transparency and governance standards starting August 2025

Let’s dive into the four risk levels in the EU AI Act.

The EU AI Act has four different risk levels for AI systems, each with its own set of rules.

These systems are completely banned due to the high risks they present to public safety and citizens’ rights. They include applications such as subliminal manipulation intended to alter behavior, social scoring by public authorities, and remote biometric identification in real-time in public spaces, except in specific security situations.

Certifyi's EU AI Act Framework

The EU AI Act applies to any AI system with a connection to the EU, whether through development, deployment, or market presence. Specifically, it covers:

  • AI systems developed or used by entities within the EU

  • AI systems placed on or made available on the EU market

  • AI systems producing outputs used within the EU

  • AI systems that affect people within the EU

The Act defines an “AI system” as a machine-based system capable of analyzing inputs and generating outputs—such as predictions or decisions—with some degree of adaptability or learning.

Importantly, the Act’s scope is extraterritorial: non-EU organizations may also fall under its requirements if their AI systems impact the EU market or individuals.

Risk Categorization and Assessment

-Automatically classify AI systems into appropriate risk categories (unacceptable, high-risk, limited-risk, minimal-risk).

-Conduct Fundamental Rights Impact Assessments (FRIA) for high-risk systems to evaluate their impact on privacy and non-discrimination.

Automated Evidence Collection

-Streamline the collection of compliance evidence required for conformity assessments.

-Maintain immutable audit trails for regulatory reviews.

Lifecycle Monitoring

-Enable continuous monitoring of high-risk AI systems post-market deployment.

-Provide alerts for reassessment deadlines and regulatory updates.

Vendor Management

-Assess third-party vendors’ compliance with security standards and EU regulations.

-Track vendor security ratings and manage evidence submissions directly through the platform2.

Customizable Reporting

-Generate reports aligned with EU AI Act requirements using predefined templates.

-Include sections such as risk assessments, control effectiveness, and evidence logs.

Integration Capabilities

-Seamlessly integrate with tools like Slack, Jira, or AWS for enhanced workflow automation.

-Support multi-region data storage preferences to comply with data sovereignty laws.
