Map where AI already runs, who is accountable, and how far you sit from EU AI Act obligations.
2
Design
Build the target governance model across four disciplines at once, so nothing is retrofitted later.
3
Implement
Put policies, controls and technical measures into practice, with clear ownership.
4
Evaluate
Test whether controls hold up in practice, not just on paper, and close the gaps.
5
Sustain
Keep governance current as regulation and risk evolve, formalized through certification.
Where strategy ends: formal certification
The EU AI Act treats providers, those who build or place AI systems on the market, differently from deployers, those who use them. Which track applies depends on your role.
For deployers
EU-AIA CDC
Certifies organizations that use AI systems built by others, confirming governance is in place for how those systems are deployed and monitored.
