You will benefit from EU AI Act compliance services if your AI touches people within the EU—regardless of where your company is based, how the AI systems were built, or whether you consider yourself a tech company.
We inventory all of your AI systems, determine your role (provider, deployer, or both), and create an in-scope register with explicit rationale. This decision guides all the EU AI Act compliance consulting work that follows.
ITRex checks your AI models against Article 53 obligations: documentation, training data records, and copyright policy and flags the open-source license conditions that quietly void your EU AI Act compliance exemption.
Our EU AI Act conformity assessment evaluates your compliance with ~11 high-risk obligations, including risk management, data governance, logging, traceability, transparency to deployers, and human oversight. Every gap is ranked by severity, deadline, and engineering effort.
We map every product surface where Article 50 labeling or disclosure is required—AI content, chatbot interactions, and emotion recognition systems. Our EU AI Act compliance services catch the gaps that typically slip through when AI is embedded across multiple touchpoints.
ITRex’s EU AI Act consultants identify the three decisions that turn a deployer into a provider before your legal team does: branding a third-party system, making significant modifications, or deploying a non-high-risk system in a high-risk context.
Our EU AI Act compliance assessment covers every third-party and open-source model in your deployment—checking upstream Article 53 obligations and identifying documentation gaps that shift liability to your organization.
With ITRex’s EU AI Act compliance services, you can establish a documented AI literacy baseline under Article 4—in force since February 2025—and map FRIA and DPIA overlap for systems that trigger both. Running them together cuts the effort materially.
We align on scope before any diagnostic work begins:
We examine systems directly, not from self-reported status:
Every EU AI Act compliance consulting engagement produces three deliverables:
The EU AI Act establishes a legal framework for AI systems used within the EU, classifying them by risk level and assigning obligations accordingly. In practice, that means maintaining records of how your AI systems work and what data they were trained on, telling users when they’re interacting with AI, keeping humans in the loop for high-stakes decisions, and demonstrating that your systems are accurate and secure. The strictest requirements apply to high-risk systems in areas like hiring, credit, education, and healthcare.
Yes. The EU AI Act has extraterritorial reach. If you’re a provider of AI systems that are used in the European Union or that affect people within it, the EU AI Act compliance requirements apply regardless of where your company is headquartered or where your servers sit. Our EU AI Act compliance audit confirms whether your systems fall in scope and which obligations follow.
The Act assigns obligations by role in a system, not by company type. You’re a provider if you build or ship AI—including open-source models or internally deployed systems like a fine-tuned customer intelligence agent or a locally hosted language model. You’re a deployer if you run someone else’s AI without significant modification. Most enterprises act as both providers and deployers, but on different systems. The role-flip trap means a deployer can become a provider overnight by branding, modifying, or repurposing a third-party system. Mapping this accurately is the first step in any EU AI Act compliance consulting engagement.
Risk classification determines the compliance workload. High-risk areas under the Act include hiring and employee evaluation tools, credit scoring, educational assessment, law enforcement, critical infrastructure, and certain public-service decisions. For example, a banking app using facial recognition for login may fall into a grey area depending on how the biometric data is processed and retained. The same goes for an HR platform screening candidates by facial expression or an access control system using fingerprint recognition; all such solutions warrant a closer look. Minimal-risk systems like spam filters or basic recommendation engines carry no mandatory obligations. Our EU AI Act compliance audit maps every system in your portfolio against the four risk tiers—prohibited, high-risk, limited-risk, and minimal-risk—and flags the ones that need immediate attention.
Documentation and governance requirements depend on your role and risk classification. High-risk providers need a risk management system, technical documentation explaining how the system works and what data it was trained on, logging controls that create an auditable trail of decisions, and post-market monitoring to catch performance issues after deployment. Deployers need operating logs retained for defined periods, a process for monitoring and reporting incidents, and documented records of who is responsible for human oversight on each system. Our EU AI Act compliance audit produces a per-system checklist against each obligation, plus templates for every artifact you’ll need to maintain.
Significantly. If you white-label a third-party AI system—say, a financial services firm rebranding a vendor’s credit-scoring model as its own—you become the provider in the eyes of the Act. Significant modifications extend provider obligations to your company in the same way. If the upstream vendor didn’t meet Article 53 documentation requirements, those gaps can shift liability to your organization. Our EU AI Act compliance services include a provenance audit of every third-party model in your deployment.
The Act entered into force in August 2024. Prohibited practices and AI literacy obligations have applied since February 2025, but AI literacy enforcement by national market surveillance authorities begins in August 2026, so organizations that haven’t documented their baseline are already behind. GPAI model obligations have applied since August 2025. For high-risk systems, the EU institutions reached a provisional agreement in May 2026 to defer standalone Annex III systems to 2 December 2027 and AI embedded in regulated products to 2 August 2028—but the deferral applies to new systems only. High-risk AI already in service before August 2026 remains subject to existing obligations and is not automatically relieved. Article 50 transparency obligations are unaffected and apply from August 2026, with one exception: generative AI systems already on the market before that date have until 2 December 2026 to meet the watermarking requirement under Article 50(2). Our EU AI Act compliance consultants tell you which obligations bind you now and how to sequence the rest.
No. There is no size-based exemption. If your organization develops, deploys, or sells AI used within the EU, the obligations apply. SMEs get some relief on administrative burden—think reduced technical documentation requirements and easier access to regulatory sandboxes—but the core obligations around risk classification, transparency, and human oversight apply in full. Our EU AI Act compliance company works with businesses at all sizes, including startups building AI products for European markets.
The EU AI Act non-compliance fines reach up to €35 million or 7% of worldwide annual turnover for the most serious violations—higher than GDPR. Lower tiers apply to less severe breaches: up to €15 million or 3% of turnover for high-risk system non-compliance, and €7.5 million or 1% for providing incorrect information to regulators.
Both gap identification and implementation. Most legal and pure-play consulting firms tell you what’s wrong and stop there. ITRex is an AI and data company first, so every finding in our EU AI Act compliance audit comes with a remediation option, effort estimate, and sequencing recommendation, and we build the controls ourselves: logging infrastructure, human-oversight UX, data-governance pipelines, technical documentation, and model cards. If your legal team needs FRIA or DPIA inputs, we provide them. The same experts who audit your systems build the fixes.
