Methodology demonstration: How we achieve EU AI Act compliance using the GOVERN technique—typical scope: 40-60 AI systems
This case study illustrates the GOVERN technique for achieving EU AI Act compliance. The scenario demonstrates our systematic approach to AI system inventory, risk classification, and remediation. Client details anonymized.
Taille: Typical engagement: 10,000-50,000 employee financial institutions
Achieve full EU AI Act compliance for high-risk AI systems before the August 2026 deadline.
47 AI systems in production, including 12 high-risk systems for credit decisions and fraud detection
No centralized inventory of AI systems—models deployed across multiple teams without consistent governance
Credit scoring model lacked required explainability and bias testing documentation
Fraud detection system couldn't demonstrate the human oversight required under Article 14
Customer service chatbot needed transparency measures under Article 50
Board demanded compliance proof 6 months before deadline to satisfy regulators
Implemented the GOVERN technique for comprehensive EU AI Act compliance—from system inventory through technical measures, documentation, and ongoing monitoring.
Conducted complete AI system discovery and risk classification. For each high-risk system, implemented required technical measures and created compliant documentation. Established AI governance office with clear roles, processes, and audit trails.
Complete AI system inventory across all business units. Risk classification per Annex III. Prioritized 12 high-risk systems.
3 weeksImplemented bias testing framework. Added SHAP-based explainability to credit scoring. Designed human-in-the-loop workflows.
5 weeksCreated technical documentation per Annex IV. Established AI risk management system. Built model registry with automatic documentation.
3 weeksConducted mock audit with external counsel. Trained AI governance team on ongoing compliance.
2 weeksIllustrative scenario: Achieving audit-ready EU AI Act compliance for a typical enterprise AI portfolio.
