AI governance

AI governance checklist: how EU AI Act-ready is your company?

Use this checklist to determine the current maturity of your AI governance. Every “no” marks a potential risk or regulatory gap. The four areas follow the Land → Triage → Expand → Scale approach.

1. Transparency & inventory (LAND)

  • Central AI register in place?Is there a list of all AI systems used in the company – including shadow AI and browser extensions?
  • Vendor transparency?Are vendors, their countries of origin and the type of data processing documented?

2. Risk classification (TRIAGE)

  • EU AI Act classification?Do we know which use cases could be classified as “high risk” or “prohibited”?
  • Standardised risk triage?Is there a process to review new AI ideas for compliance and security before implementation?

3. Roles & responsibilities (EXPAND)

  • Defined AI system owners?Is it clear for every system who holds business responsibility and monitors policy compliance?
  • Governance gates established?Are there defined approval points (e.g. by IT security, legal, data protection) before go-live?

4. Evidence & operations (SCALE)

  • Evidence routine in place?In case of an audit, can we immediately present documentation on training data, tests and risk assessments?
  • Continuous monitoring?Are performance, bias and compliance of AI systems monitored during operation?
