High-Risk AI Systems Assessment

The AI system assessment determines whether an AI solution qualifies as high-risk under the EU AI Act and outlines the conformity actions required. It provides a formal classification decision, obligations register, and gap analysis to reduce regulatory exposure and accelerate procurement approvals.

High-Risk AI System Assessment determines whether an AI system falls under the EU AI Act high-risk category and defines the actions needed to reach conformity. The work examines intended purpose, role allocation, risk management, data and model governance, evaluation and monitoring, transparency, and technical documentation. Where relevant, it aligns with GDPR transparency and automated decision-making rules, NIS 2 governance expectations, and supporting standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 42001.

What are the results of this service?

You receive a formal high-risk determination with justification, a mapped obligations register for provider and deployer roles, and a gap analysis across governance, data and model management, testing, transparency, human oversight, logging, and post-market monitoring. Deliverables include a risk management file outline, evaluation and testing plan with metrics and thresholds, data and model lineage notes, an oversight and intervention plan, a transparency and user information plan, and a technical documentation structure for the AI Act technical file. Output also includes a prioritized remediation roadmap with owners, timelines, acceptance criteria, and an evidence catalogue to support audits and procurement.

The business impact is clarity on classification, faster decision-making on the conformity route, and reduced exposure from undocumented risks or missing records. Teams gain predictable audit outcomes, shorter due diligence cycles, and measurable progress through coverage ratios, closure of findings, and time-to-approval for internal and external reviews.
