Regulatory Certainty for Your AI Systems

EU AI Act Compliance

The EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) requires organizations to achieve compliance for high-risk AI systems by August 2026 — with fines of up to €35 million or 7% of annual turnover. Prohibitions on manipulative AI and social scoring have already been in effect since February 2025. ADVISORI combines AI transformation and regulatory expertise under one roof: we classify your AI systems, build your governance framework, and guide you to audit-ready compliance — on time and with a practical focus.

We guide you through a proven step-by-step model from initial assessment to ongoing monitoring.

Our Approach:

AI Inventory: Recording all AI systems, models, and use cases within the organization — including purchased SaaS solutions with embedded AI and internally developed models

Risk Classification: Categorizing each system into the four tiers of the EU AI Act (unacceptable, high, limited, minimal risk) with documented justification and assignment to Annex I or III

Gap Analysis: Systematic comparison against the requirements of Art. 9–15 (risk management, data quality, documentation, logging, transparency, human oversight, solidness) — result: prioritized action plan

Governance Setup: Establishing an AI Management System with defined roles (AI Officer, Risk Owner), approval processes, documentation standards, and integration into existing ISMS and data protection management

Implementation & Conformity: Implementing technical and organizational measures, creating documentation per Annex IV, conducting the conformity assessment, and preparing the EU Declaration of Conformity

Post-Market Monitoring & Audit: Establishing an ongoing monitoring system per Art. 72, conducting regular internal audits, implementing incident reporting processes, and performing annual compliance reviews with adjustments to new guidelines and standards

"ADVISORI provided exceptional expertise and guidance throughout our project. Their deep understanding of regulatory requirements and practical approach helped us achieve our compliance goals efficiently."

AI Inventory & Risk Classification

Systematic recording of all AI systems within your organization — from chatbots and scoring models to automated decision-making systems. Each system is classified into one of the four risk tiers based on the criteria of the EU AI Act. Deliverables: complete AI register, classification documentation with justification per system, prioritization matrix for high-risk systems under Annex III and Annex I. This forms the basis for all subsequent compliance measures.

    Gap Analysis & Compliance Roadmap

    Detailed comparison of your AI systems against the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689: risk management (Art. 9), data quality (Art. 10), technical documentation (Art. 11), logging obligations (Art. 12), transparency (Art. 13), human oversight (Art. 14), and accuracy/solidness (Art. 15). Deliverables: gap report per high-risk system, prioritized list of measures, timeline with milestones through August 2026, and estimated effort per measure.

      AI Governance Framework & AIMS

      Establishing an AI Management System (AIMS) with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and processes — modeled on ISO/IEC 42001. Definition of AI approval processes, risk assessment cycles, documentation obligations, and escalation paths. Integration with existing ISMS (ISO 27001), data protection management (GDPR), and quality management. Deliverables: governance handbook, role matrix (AI Officer, Risk Manager, Data Owner), process map, KPI framework for AI compliance.

        Technical Documentation & Conformity Assessment

        Creation of complete technical documentation per Annex IV of the EU AI Act for high-risk AI systems: system description, design specifications, training and test data, performance metrics, risk management measures, and validation results. Preparation for the conformity assessment — conducted internally or by notified bodies. Deliverables: technical dossier per system, Declaration of Conformity, audit trail for regulatory inquiries.

          GPAI Compliance & Model Governance

          Specialized advisory services for providers and operators of General Purpose AI (GPAI): implementation of transparency obligations under Art. 53, creation of model cards, copyright compliance, and training data summaries. For GPAI models with systemic risk (>10^25 FLOPs): adversarial testing, red teaming, model evaluation, and incident reporting to the EU AI Office. Deliverables: GPAI compliance checklist, model card, risk assessment, incident response plan.

            Training, Audit & Ongoing Monitoring

            Practical training programs to fulfill the AI competence obligation (Art. 4): executive briefings for management and supervisory boards, workshops for specialist departments, and technical deep dives for development teams. Regular internal audits to verify compliance. Establishment of a post-market monitoring system for high-risk AI in accordance with Art. 72. Deliverables: training materials, audit reports, monitoring dashboard, annual compliance report.

              Our Competencies in EU AI Act Compliance

              Choose the area that fits your requirements

              AI Chatbot

              Transform your customer communication and internal processes with intelligent AI chatbots. ADVISORI develops LLM-based Conversational AI solutions — individually trained on your data, GDPR-compliant, and seamlessly integrated into your existing systems.

              AI Compliance

              Since February 2025, the EU AI Act applies with fines up to EUR 35 million. We guide enterprises through AI compliance — from risk classification through AI literacy to conformity assessment.

              AI Computer Vision

              Computer vision is one of the fastest-growing AI applications. We develop and implement GDPR and AI Act compliant computer vision solutions for enterprises.

              AI Consulting for Enterprises

              36% of German companies are already using AI — with a strong upward trend (Bitkom, 2025). But between a first ChatGPT pilot and flexible AI value creation lie strategy, architecture, and governance. ADVISORI bridges exactly this gap: as an ISO 27001-certified consulting firm with its own multi-agent platform Synthara AI Studio, we combine AI implementation with information security and regulatory compliance — end-to-end, vendor-independent, with measurable ROI from the first PoC.

              AI Data Cleansing

              Your data quality determines your AI results quality. We cleanse, validate, and optimize your data GDPR-compliantly for reliable AI models.

Our comprehensive analysis evaluates your technical capacities, organizational structures and strategic alignment to develop tailored roadmaps for successful AI transformation.

              AI Governance Consulting

              Your employees are already using AI. In marketing, ChatGPT writes copy using customer data. In sales, Copilot analyses confidential proposals. In accounting, an AI reviews invoices. Management? In most cases, they have no idea. No overview, no rules, no control. This is the normal state of affairs in German companies — and it is a ticking time bomb.

              Frequently Asked Questions about EU AI Act Compliance

              What are the deadlines under the EU AI Act?

              The EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) entered into force on

              1 August

              2024 and is being applied in stages: Since

              2 February 2025, AI systems with unacceptable risk have been prohibited — including social scoring, manipulative AI, and real-time remote biometric identification. Since

              2 August 2025, transparency obligations for GPAI models apply. From

              2 August 2026, high-risk AI systems under Annex III (including biometrics, education, employment, and credit scoring) must be fully compliant. High-risk systems under Annex I (product safety) have until

              2 August 2027. For certain AI in large-scale EU IT systems, an extended deadline of

              31 December

              2030 applies.

              Which AI systems are classified as high-risk under the EU AI Act?

              Annex III of the EU AI Act defines eight high-risk areas: (1) Biometric identification and categorization of persons, (2) Management and operation of critical infrastructure (energy, transport, water, gas), (3) General and vocational education (access, assessment, exam monitoring), (4) Employment and human resources management (candidate selection, promotion, termination), (5) Access to essential services (credit scoring, insurance, social benefits), (6) Law enforcement (risk assessment, lie detection, evidence analysis), (7) Migration and border control (visa applications, asylum procedures), (8) Administration of justice and democratic processes. In addition, AI systems embedded in products with CE marking fall under Annex I.

              What obligations do providers of high-risk AI systems have?

              Providers of high-risk AI systems must meet comprehensive requirements under the EU AI Act: a risk management system covering the entire lifecycle (Art. 9), quality requirements for training, validation, and test datasets (Art. 10), complete technical documentation per Annex IV (Art. 11), automatic logging capability (Art. 12), transparency and provision of information to operators (Art. 13), measures for human oversight (Art. 14), and accuracy, solidness, and cybersecurity (Art. 15). Prior to placing on the market, a conformity assessment must be conducted and an EU Declaration of Conformity must be issued.

              ECB Guide to Internal Models: Strategic Orientation for Banks in the New Regulatory Landscape

              July 29, 2025
              8 min

              The July 2025 revision of the ECB guidelines requires banks to strategically realign internal models. Key points: 1) Artificial intelligence and machine learning are permitted, but only in an explainable form and under strict governance. 2) Top management is explicitly responsible for the quality and compliance of all models. 3) CRR3 requirements and climate risks must be proactively integrated into credit, market and counterparty risk models. 4) Approved model changes must be implemented within three months, which requires agile IT architectures and automated validation processes. Institutes that build explainable AI competencies, robust ESG databases and modular systems early on transform the stricter requirements into a sustainable competitive advantage.
