Final Phase

AI embedded in regulated products

(Annex I) comes into scope.

August 2026 Status Check

“The EU delayed the AI Act” is only half the story

The Digital Omnibus moved the high-risk deadlines. It didn’t touch what’s already live, and it didn’t soften a single high-risk requirement. Here’s exactly where things stand.

Enforceable since Aug. 2, 2026

Article 50 transparency is live

If customer-facing AI touches the EU, disclosure duties apply today.

Active since Aug. 2, 2025

GPAI enforcement powers are on

Documentation requests won’t wait for your inventory to catch up.

Deferred to Dec. 2, 2027

High-risk moved, unchanged

Risk management, data governance, human oversight, and conformity assessment are all still required.

What’s at stake

The cost of getting this wrong

€35M or 7%

of global annual turnover, whichever is higher

The penalty ceiling for the most serious violations. Lower tiers still reach €15 million or 3% of turnover.

0 EU offices

needed to fall in scope

The Act reaches providers and deployers anywhere in the world when their AI system’s output is used in the EU.

1 budget cycle

between today and Dec. 2, 2027

That’s one enterprise planning, procurement, and audit cycle to inventory, classify, document, and prove conformity.

Why teams start now

Dec. 2, 2027 is one budget cycle away

Teams that treat the deferral as a pause will spend 2027 in triage. Teams that use it build once and reuse everywhere.

Evidence takes months, not weeks

Conformity assessments and technical documentation must cover your data pipeline, training sources, and oversight controls, not just the model.

Your AI estate outgrows your inventory

Every new SaaS tool, copilot, and internal project add models you don’t know about. Shadow AI doesn’t wait for a compliance program.

Live duties and future duties share one foundation

The inventory, mapping, and controls you need for Article 50 and GPAI today are the same foundation high-risk compliance sits on in 2027.

How Securiti helps

One platform. Every obligation.

Securiti’s AI Security & Governance solution, an integration of the DataAI Command Platform, connects your AI systems to the data behind them so compliance evidence generates itself.

Discover and catalog every AI model

Automatically find AI models across public clouds, private clouds, and SaaS apps, including the shadow AI nobody registered.

Why it matters for the Act
You can’t govern what you can’t see. Build the complete AI inventory the Act assumes you already have.

Classify systems by risk tier

Assess models for toxicity, bias, copyright, and disinformation risks, then classify each system against the Act’s prohibited, high-risk, GPAI, and limited-risk tiers.

Why it matters for the Act
Know today which systems face Dec. 2, 2027 duties, and which need Article 50 disclosures right now.

Map Data+AI flows end to end

Connect every model to its data sources, vendors, processing activities, and compliance obligations, and monitor the flows continuously.

Why it matters for the Act
Data governance evidence generated from live metadata, not from stale spreadsheets.

Enforce Data+AI controls in production

Context-aware LLM firewalls and guardrails mitigate OWASP Top 10 for LLM risks and adversarial machine learning attacks.

Why it matters for the Act
Risk management that runs in production, not in a binder.

Automate assessments and reporting

Pre-built frameworks for the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and 20+ other regulations, with categorization assessments, fundamental rights impact assessments, conformity assessments, and audit-ready reports.

Why it matters for the Act
One control set, tested once, reported to every regulator.
