AI Act Compliance: Uniting AI Governance and Data Protection

Worried about AI Act compliance? You’re not alone. With the EU AI Act approaching finalization, organizations need to manage AI risks, implement accountability, and demonstrate compliance—just as they’ve done with GDPR.

Responsum’s advanced AI governance capabilities help you bridge the gap between privacy and AI. By identifying AI use across your business and guiding you through assessments like AICA and FRIA, we simplify the path toward full compliance.

Key Challenges in AI Act Compliance

Keeping AI Records Up to Date

AI systems evolve rapidly. Whether you’ve deployed new tools or embedded AI into existing ones, maintaining an accurate AI register is often easier said than done. Responsum helps you track these changes continuously.

Not all AI is high risk, but you still need to identify which systems qualify. Proper risk management ensures that the right mitigations are applied—before issues arise. Discover more in our Risk Management module, which supports both AI and GDPR-related risk strategies.
